Internet of Things with ESP8266

Monitoring the temperature and humidity

In this second project of the chapter, we are going to do something different. We will monitor the temperature and humidity of the plant from the cloud dashboard that we already used earlier in the chapter. We are first going to configure the board, and then set up the cloud dashboard.

As we already saw how to use the aREST cloud platform earlier in the book, I will only highlight the most important parts of the code.

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>
