Hardware
- ESP-32: The ESP32 makes it easy to use the Arduino IDE and the Arduino Wire Language for IoT applications. This ESp32 IoT Module combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth BLE for a variety of diverse applications. This module comes fully-equipped with 2 CPU cores that can be controlled and powered individually, and with an adjustable clock frequency of 80 MHz to 240 MHz. This ESP32 IoT WiFi BLE Module with Integrated USB is designed to fit in all ncd.io IoT products.Monitor sensors and control relays, FETs, PWM controllers, solenoids, valves, motors and much more from anywhere in the world using a web page or a dedicated server.We manufactured our own version of the ESP32 to fit into NCD IoT devices, offering more expansion options than any other device in the world! Integrated USB port allows easy programming of the ESP32. The ESP32 IoT WiFi BLE Module is an incredible platform for IoT application development. This ESP32 IoT WiFi BLE Module can be programmed using Arduino IDE.

Software Used
- Arduino IDE
- Ubidot
Library Used
- PubSubClient Library
- Wire.h
Arduino Client for MQTT
This library provides a client for doing simple publish/subscribe messaging with a server that supports MQTT
For more information about MQTT, visit mqtt.org.
Download
The latest version of the library can be downloaded from GitHub
Documentation
The library comes with a number of example sketches. See File > Examples > PubSubClient within the Arduino application.Full API Documentation.
Compatible Hardware
The library uses the Arduino Ethernet Client api for interacting with the underlying network hardware. This means it Just Works with a growing number of boards and shields, including:
- Arduino Ethernet
- Arduino Ethernet Shield
- Arduino YUN – use the included YunClient in place of EthernetClient, and be sure to do a Bridge.begin() first
- Arduino WiFi Shield - if you want to send packets greater than 90 bytes with this shield, enable the MQTT_MAX_TRANSFER_SIZE option in PubSubClient.h.
- Sparkfun WiFly Shield – when used with this library
- Intel Galileo/Edison
- ESP8266
- ESP32The library cannot currently be used with hardware based on the ENC28J60 chip – such as the Nanode or the Nuelectronics Ethernet Shield. For those, there is an alternative library available.
Wire Library
The Wire library allows you to communicate with I2C devices, often also called "2 wire" or "TWI" (Two Wire Interface), can download from Wire.h
Basic Usage
- Wire.begin()Begin using Wire in master mode, where you will initiate and control data transfers. This is the most common use when interfacing with most I2C peripheral chips.
- Wire.begin(address)Begin using Wire in slave mode, where you will respond at "address" when other I2C masters chips initiate communication.
Transmitting
- Wire.beginTransmission(address)Start a new transmission to a device at "address". Master mode is used.
- Wire.write(data)Send data. In master mode, beginTransmission must be called first.
- Wire.endTransmission()In master mode, this ends the transmission and causes all buffered data to be sent.
Receiving
- Wire.requestFrom(address, count)Read "count" bytes from a device at "address". Master mode is used.
- Wire.available()Retuns the number of bytes available by calling receive.
- Wire.read()Receive 1 byte.
Steps to send data to labview temperature and humidity platform using IoT Long Range Wireless Temperature And Humidity Sensor and Long Range Wireless Mesh Modem with USB Interface:
- First, we need a Labview utility application which is ncd.io Wireless Temperature And Humidity Sensor.exe file on which data can be viewed.
- This Labview software will work with ncd.io wireless Temperature sensor only
- To use this UI, you will need to install following drivers Install run time engine from here 64bit
- 32 bit
- Install NI Visa Driver
- Install LabVIEW Run-Time Engine and NI-Serial Runtime
- Getting started guide for this product.
Uploading the Code to ESP32 Using Arduino IDE
- Download and include the PubSubClient Library and Wire.h Library.
- You must assign your unique Ubidots TOKEN, MQTTCLIENTNAME, SSID (WiFi Name) and Password of the available network.
- Compile and upload the temp_humidity.ino code.
- To verify the connectivity of the device and the data sent, open the serial monitor.If no response is seen, try unplugging your ESP32 and then plugging it again. Make sure the baud rate of the Serial monitor is set to the same one specified in your code 115200.
Serial Monitor Output
Making Ubidots Work
- Create the account on Ubidots
- Go to my profile and note down the token key which is a unique key for every account and paste it to your ESP32 code before uploading.
- Add a new device to your ubidot dashboard name ESP32.
Click on devices and select devices in ubidot.
Now you should see the published data in your Ubidots account, inside the device called "ESP32".
- Inside device create new variable name sensor in which your temperature reading will be shown.
Now you are able to view the Temperature and other sensors data which was previously viewed in serial monitor.This happened because the value of different sensor readings is passed as a string and store in variable and publish to variable inside device esp32.
Create Dashboard in Ubidots
- Click on add new dashboard.
- Name your dashboard.
- Now select Widget.
- Now select all required option and your widget will create.On which you can view your temp and humidity data.
OUTPUT
Creating events in Ubidots:
- Select Events (from the Data dropdown).
- Now click on create Event.
Types of Events
Ubidots support already integrated events to allow you to send Events, Alerts, and Notifications to those who need to know, when they need to know.Ubidots' prebuilt integrations include:
1. Email notifications
2. SMS notifications
3. Webhook events - learn more
4. Telegram notifications
5. Slack notifications - learn more
6. Voice Call notifications - learn more
7. Back to Normal notification - learn more
8. Geofence notifications - learn more
- Then choose a device and associating variable that indicates the devices' "values".
- Now selct a thresold value for your event to trigger and compare it to device values and also select time to trigger your event.
- Now, create action type by clicking plus sign.
- Establish and configure which actions are to be executed and the message to the receiver: Send SMS, Email, Webhooks, Telegrams, Phone Calls, SLACK, and webhooks to those who need to know.
- Now fill all the required fields.
- Determine the activity window the events may/may not be executed.
- Confirm your Events.
