Accessing your ESP8266 form the Internet (thinger.io)
Posted: Wed Aug 19, 2015 8:12 amHello! I am new here in the community forum, and I want to share a platform that I have been building during some time ago. It is a platform for the Internet of Things, and the ESP8266 is a perfect device for the IoT. I use a lot the ESP8266 Arduino Library grown in this community so I want to collaborate a bit allowing some people to easily control their ESP8266 from the Internet.
The platform allows connecting the ESP8266 and other devices to the Internet and control them easily from a web Interface. Turning on and off a led or reading a sensor value just take minutes of programming. For example, the following video illustrates how to connect an ESP8266 (NodeMCU) to the platform using the Arduino IDE to turn on/off a led an reading a DHT11 sensor. The whole process takes less than 4 minutes!!
The devices can also send emails, do http requests, and work with the IFTTT Maker channel for triggering events, so you can send tweets, push notifications, and many other things. The platform is currently in a early beta stage (registration requires a code), but if someone is interested in connecting some device to test it I can provide beta access keys in private messages. So if anyone is interested... please, tell me!
There is a community forum (https://community.thinger.io) also where I am writing some projects and tutorials.
