I have been looking into this topic for a few days now and I am not familiar with the details of any of the WiFi coding for Arduino so I figured I would ask for help. My situation:
I have a code that runs a temperature controlled heating element. Since I want my board to be in a waterproof project box, I want to be able to read variable information wirelessly ( I update temperature parameters often).
I have seen the WiFiManager library seems to be an efficient way to get connected online, https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager#using
However, I assume I need to create my own webpage with the variable parameters and then direct the arduino to that page, read the variables, and then move on with the rest of my code.
My problem is I dont know how that looks in arduino code, and I am not getting anywhere looking online.
The variables will actually be an array, so it would look like Temperature: [20, 30 , 40]; Temperatureinfo: ["Change light", "Change water", "Change Light"];
So my questions are:
1)What is the arduino IDE code to have my WiFi board connect to the WiFi, navigate to a website, and then read values to then be used
2) What is the most efficient way to build this website/app, are there any services that someone might recommend? (I thought maybe I could use a google drive spreadsheet to structure the values for easy reading but not sure if this is possible)
Thanks for any help, this topic is proving tough for me to figure out.
