Arduino IoT Cloud

The Arduino IoT Cloud is an online platform that allows users to create, deploy, and monitor IoT projects. It provides a user-friendly interface for configuration, writing code, uploading, and visualization. 

Steps:

(1)Create an Arduino Cloud account using your Google account or use one of these accounts:

Arduino Create 1.  UN: ardcre1@aceraschool.org PW: Neopixel

Arduino Create 2.  UN: ardcre2@aceraschool.org PW: Neopixel

Arduino Create 3.  UN: ardcre3@aceraschool.org PW: Neopixel

Arduino Create 4.  UN: ardcre4@aceraschool.org PW: Neopixel

Arduino Create 5.  UN: ardcre5@aceraschool.org PW: Neopixel

(2)Sign in to create.arduino.cc 

(3) Add a  Device (Arduino)

• Find Device( Nano ESP 32)

• Configure- get name

• Save Device and Secret key

• Continue-Done

(4) Create a new 'Thing' 

• • After configuring a device, we can create a Thing, which is the virtual twin of your board. Here we configure network details, select device we want to associate and create the variables that we want to synchronize.

          Give it a name- "My Weather Station" etc.

   Define cloud variables:

• • • Sensor Values( integer (i.e. 24) or floating point( i.e. 25.73)- typically read only, at intervals

    • Switches(boolean)- read/write on change

    • Alarm Indicators(boolean) -read/write on change

    • Use camelCase to name variables

• Add Network Credentials: Wifi Name, Password, Secret Key

(5)Create a Dashboard to display values and switches

• • • Give the dashboard a name

    • Edit- add numeric indicators, associate with cloud variables
      Choose from switches, sliders, RGB picker, message box, gauges and much more to create dashboards. Dashboards are not linked to a specific Thing/device, meaning you can control many different boards from the same dashboard.

    • If desired, create a Trigger to Send an Email using boolean alarm indicators

(6)Edit Sketch- includes

• • •  Secrets Tab( Wifi name and password, secret code)

    • Thing Properties tab

    •  Read me tab 

    • Main Tab: This is where you decide what you want to create, and what data you want sent to the Cloud- update your previous code to update the cloud variables defined in the Thing Properties tab. Test connection using fixed numbers.

(7) Upload Sketch

Arduino Create Log-Ins(Free Accounts):

Below: In Loop section, give cloud variables values, using the sensors.

In the absence of a sensor, one could assign random numbers to the cloud variables:

void loop() {

  delay(2000);

  humidity=       random(30, 80);

  temperature= random(20, 40);

  pressure=      random(900,1100);

  ArduinoCloud.update();
