IOT practice with temperature sensor data

About this course

Internet of thing is everywhere.

Reading and visualisation of temperature data is a good example to help us understand the world of IoT. It is easy to implement and you can find out more interesting user scenario anytime if you want.

As NodeMCU LoLin contains a WIFI modes, we can publish temperature to remote server, which means when you finish this course, you are able to send the temperature data to everywhere you want. As the IoT hardware in this course are powered by Battery, it also means you can get the temperature data from everywhere, what you need is a WiFi Hotspot (or from SmartPhone).

Actually we can just connect NodeMCU LoLin directly to temperature sensor DHT22, get temperature data from it and then publish it to a remote Raspberry Pi. But in this course, i just wanna show you how to use an Arduino UNO in between. One reason is:  With this solution you have more free pins. For the future, if you wanna connect more IoT Hardwares to NodeMCU LoLin, the IoT infrastructure has already been good prepared by this project.

In this course you will learn
