Since I got into Home Automation System, I have always wanted a central system with as much as information about me starting from my food habit to each and everything that can be measured or collected. You can say that it is greatly influenced by JARVIS of Iron Man which came around my Engineering days. Coming to the topic, I recently managed to connect a regular bathroom weighing scale to my Home Automation System (OpenHAB) using MQTT. So basically this post is all about how to do that. For the weighing…

Programming Linkit Smart 7688 DUO using Arduino IDE
[sg_popup id=3] In this tutorial, we will see how to program the Atmega324 controller of Linkit Smart 7688 DUO module using the Arduino IDE. The boards come in two flavors, Linkit Smart 7688 and Linkit Smart DUO. The difference between both is that the DUO has an ATMEGA324 controller apart from the main MPU which can be programmed using Arduino. In DUO module GPIOs of both the MPU as well as MCU are exposed and some are even multiplexed. The MCU can also be interfaced or controlled using the MPU…
Read MoreMongoose OS Installation on ESP8266 and GPIO Access
This video is around ESP8266 module and how to flash mongoose OS to it.It also demonstrates some basic GPIO programming using javascript.Mongoose OS claims as an Operating System for commercial connected products with features like Security, OTA Updates, Remote Management. As Arduino framework is not reliable to run in production environment its a good alternative with Arduino compatibility layer that allows using existing Arduino drivers for prototyping. It is both C/C++ ready for production and JavaScript is for fast prototyping on the target hardware. The JS API calls C API.…
Read MoreIOT: Power outlet controlled from internet using WeMOS
This is a simple project to make IOT enabled power outlet. This video is around WeMOS and demonstrates how to use WeMOS with thingspeak to control some loads in my home. This project lets you control your devices which you need to connect to the output sockets. As an online server, I have used Thinspeak.com but you can use any server but you just need REST API. Check out the video to get started. Bikash Narayan PandaDeveloper, Tinkere, a proud Dad.. love to spend my available time playing with Tech!!…
Read MoreGetting started with Linkit Smart 7688 DUO
In this video, we will see the specs of the module, Configure using the web interface, will access the terminal using SSH. Now coming on to the board this comes is two flavors those are Linkit Smart 7688 and Linkit Smart DUO.Over here what I am having is the DUO module.The difference between both is that the DUO has an ATMEGA324 controller apart from the main MPU which can be programmed using Arduino. Checking out the board on the front side u get 2 Micro USB socket out of which…
Read MoreIOT With Raspberry Pi using JAVA
This post features videos that I published to my YouTube channel in the series “IOT with Raspberry Pi “. This basically contains 4 videos around raspberry pi that show how to use Raspberry Pi as an IOT device. It starts from interfacing sensor to publishing the sensor data to cloud server using protocols like REST or MQTT. For the entire project I have used JAVA and on top of that used various libraries for specific tasks like Pi4J, Unirest, Eclipse PAHO etc (Links provided below). If you have watched any of the videos you…
Read MoreDHT12 Interfacing with Raspberry Pi using Pi4J
This video around raspberry pi showing how to interface DHT12 humidity and temperature sensor with raspberry pi by using JAVA nad Pi4j. DHT12 its a temperature sensor with a 1-Wire and I2C interface to connect with external controllers and having 1-Wire interface makes it compatible with the older DHT11 sensor but with a higher accuracy. For this tutorial, we are going to use the I2C interface of the sensor and to interact with it, we will be using JAVA. One issue with the DHT12 I2C interface is that the device…
Read MoreSend data using MQTT from Raspberry Pi with JAVA
This is the third video in the series “IOT with Raspberry Pi” and that’s using JAVA. The series comprises of Sensor interfacing using pi4J, REST API usage with JAVA, MQTT usage with JAVA and finally adding all to the same project and running over Raspberry Pi. last two videos shows how to interface DS18B20 1 wire temperature sensor with Raspberry Pi and send data to Thingspeak by using REST API with JAVA. If you have not checked those you can do that with the links down below. This video is…
