Live monitoring your sensor's value from anywhere in the world using ESP8266 and Adafruit MQTT
In this video I have shown how to monitor your sensor's data on your smart phone from anywhere in the world. The concept used for this project is, I used the most popular board for iot related projects ESP8266. Now as we know that most of the sensors existing in the market gives us output in analog form, so I opted for esp8266 12e development board instead of esp8266 01 as the esp8266 01 module doesn't have analog pin while esp 12e has 1 analog pin in it. After that I have used 14.7 mm Force Sensitive Resistor(FSR) for explaining the concept but you can use any sensor. So whenever the sensor is pressed the varying voltage value will be appearing at analog pin 0 of our esp board and the esp board will publish that reading on Adafruit IO server through MQTT protocol. And on the smart phone side,we need to install an app called IoT MQTT Dashboard from Google playstore. _________________________________________________________________ Adafruit MQTT Library - https://github.com/techiesms/Adafruit_MQTT_Library _________________________________________________________________ Buy the components from here ESP8266 12e Board - http://amzn.to/2gCd3ad Force Sensitive Resistor - http://amzn.to/2w1j2eg _________________________________________________________________ Facebook :- http://www.facebook.com/techiesms Twitter :- http://www.twitter.com/imtechiesms Website :- http://www.techiesms.com _________________________________________________________________ #techiesms explore | learn | share
