• Description:
Often times we need to report data collected from sensors to a 'central' location for long-term storage, analysis, and/or visualization. Typically, we use cloud services such as Thingspeak, myDevices Cayenne, or Ubidots for this purpose. However, it is possible to dedicate an ESP8266 to carry out these tasks.
In this video, we configure an ESP8266 as a WiFi Access Point so that client devices can connect to it. In addition, we set up a web server with a couple of access routes, so that the clients can send data to it using URL parameters (youtu.be/EAUCajLvDKw). This is the simplest way to collect data from multiple devices and send them to a 'central' location even in the absence of an internet connection!
We also configure a client device to use the low-power (deep sleep) mode between data measurements, and wire it so that the ESP8266 resets itself to perform the measurements continuously!
