How many times have we not looked for a simple way to communicate with our devices through the Internet without complications and / or complex intermediary applications, DNS, IP addresses or VPN’s. Many times I have been asked how to turn on a led, relay or view a temperature from the Internet in an easy…

Tutorial Platform IoT Ubidots & ESP8266 + Sensor DHT11
This time we have tested the platform Ubidots, is an IoT platform dedicated to the collection and display of data, creating colorful graphics. For our test we will use the Module ESP8266 and a DHT11 sensor to measure the temperature / relative humidity and later visualize it. Official Website: Ubidots Update Ubidots Libraries V3.0.0 for…
Create Account in IoT Platform Ubidots
We have tested a wide variety of IoT platforms in this opportunity we will create an account on the platform Ubidots, this initiative was born to facilitate the connection of devices applied to the industrial and health. To highlight the large number of available devices (libraries and integrations) to connect with ubidots. Ubidots has 2…
Electricity consumption meter Peacefair PZEM 004 + ESP8266 & Arduino Nano
For some time I wanted to buy a single-phase electricity consumption meter, a few months ago I got Peacefair Reference PZEM-004 meter, its price seemed affordable, it has the advantages of being a non-invasive meter in the electrical circuit and has a communication protocol to request data such as Active Instantaneous Power “kW”, Voltage “V”,…
Electric Consumption with Meter CHINT (pulses) + ESP8266 & Matrix led MAX7912
This time we will return to an interesting project, the measurement of electrical consumption in an invasive way with a CHINT DDS666 Meter Mono phase, technically it is a residential or residential meter that we have already presented in previous tutorials, finally I will finish what I started more than a year: Warning: Caution is…
Measuring DC Voltage with Arduino and Node-RED
There are a lot of tutorials DC voltage measurement with Arduino, in this case I found a tutorial that I consider the best functional method to measure DC without requiring input values of resistance, only requires some resistance and a multimeter, In next tutorials we will start with solar panels and we need to measure…
Introduction Platform Mongoose OS
For a long time I wanted to test Mongoose OS, this time we will make a brief introduction and installation in a Linux operating system “lubuntu” Ubuntu/Debian. Mongoose OS is an open source operating system for Internet of Things (IoT) and low power microcontrollers such as ESP32 , ESP8266 , TI CC3200, STM32 license Available under dual GPLv2 / business…
