Automated M2M with IFTTT
In this recipe, we will look at how to use IFTTT for your M2M projects. To do so, we will use IFTTT to send data from one ESP8266 board to another. This is going to be facilitated by the IFTTT maker channel and an MQTT broker. We will use the Adafruit IO MQTT broker in this recipe.
Getting ready
You will need the following hardware components for this project:
- Two ESP8266 boards
- Two USB cables
- 220 Ω resistor
- LED
- Momentary Push button
- 10 kΩ resistor
The setup will resemble the one in Basic local machine to machine interaction of this chapter. We will have one ESP8266 board setup with a Push button input and the other with an LED output.
Install the Adafruit MQTT library. To do that, search for adafruit mqtt in the libraries manager ...
