Home Assistant has announced the development of an app for Android Auto. In December, Google released an update for Android Auto that now accepts IoT apps in the Play Store. This means that it will be...

    There are numerous ESP8266 modules available, and they are often used in battery-powered IoT applications that, with the correct configuration, can run for months. In this guide, you will learn how to power an ESP8266...

Among the simplest platforms for connecting IoT devices is Blynk IoT. Blynk allows you to quickly create apps to control wireless modules, visualize data from sensors, create dataloggers, and much more. In this two-part mini course, Michele...

  Imagine having all your devices connected via one smart voice assistant giving you the ability to turn things on or off as you wish. Well, you can do exactly that. Read on to see how you...

  Let’s interface our Energy Meter with Internet to bring measurements to the ThingSpeak platform and see the results in convenient graphs.   A few posts ago, we introduced the MCP39F511 integrated circuit, capable of performing electrical...

This project focuses on developing home security solution using lasers and live alert service. The security setup can only be passed (without triggering alert) using the Bolt IOT Android app and then entering the correct password. The...

This IoT home automation project allows you to have full control of your blinds from anywhere with the use of a photoresistor, a motor and a smartphone, you can adjust the blinds without actually having to get...

Home security systems are a growing field of projects. A self-built system is not only generally less expensive than a professional installation, it also allows total control and customization to suit your needs. With the introduction of...

In this project, we will see how to turn any decorative object into an IOT smart device. Specifically, a plant pot was chosen and it was transformed into a device that sends movement notifications. The heart of...

This project aims to monitor the temperature and humidity in a room, through a compact and cheap device, powered via USB and which sends data to our smartphone through WiFi communication. The circuit consists of an ESP8266...

Maker Faire Rome is the largest European innovation event publicly showcasing inventions, ideas, solutions, the latest discoveries in technological research, robotics and artificial intelligence. At Maker Faire Rome we are always looking for people who can show...

  In this project, we’ll create a status indicator PCB shield for the ESP32 featuring two rows of addressable RGB neopixel LEDs, a BME280 sensor, and a pushbutton. We’ll program the board to display a web server...

  Do you ever suddenly get the chills, so you check the temperature inside your room to make sure you’re not paranoid but then realize you don’t have any way to check? Or when the weather station’s...

  We wanted a display in our makerspace that could be updated as visitors interacted with the space. This project serves as a template for future IoT device to communicate with the display via MQTT. We have...

  While we can track cycling with Pelaton, running/walking with fitbit, some of the basic exercise such as push ups are still relatively hard to track. In this article, we are building a prototype of push up...

  This is a mini project I made for fun. It was done at the beginning of this year and I thought I should share the story behind the making of this. It’s a cactus that tweet...

  With the recent discontinuation of the SmartShield attachment for the Arduino. The Samsung SmartThings community has been looking for a replacement for this shield. This project presents the start of a solution to this, using the...

  While we are challenged to continue our work remotely as protection layer in the current situation we should avoid get in contact with others until the situation will be under control. The main idea is to...
