Based on the Blynk IoT platform, this book guides readers to create IoT projects through the project practice, the hardware in this book is a customized ESP8266 learning development board. This book first introduces some concepts of the Internet of Things, and introduces the method of constructing the Internet of Things development environment based on the understanding of the Internet of Things development board. Then, through the implementation of remote console lights, timing fans and other primary projects, the reader is guided to use the mobile phone and hardware to send simple commands, remote control, remote data acquisition and other mission. By reading this book, readers can master the knowledge of Blynk IoT development technology, understand the development principles and steps of the Internet of Things, and independently develop IoT projects.

This book shows how to set up and operate your own Open Source home automation server. 

This book is suitable for the IoT device development beginners, we will start with the basic knowledge of electronic components and electronic devices, and then  introduce a simple way to make sensor device. It also describes ways to make more sophisticated IoT devices, such as how to control devices using MicroPython, use current sensors to visualize power usage, and use thermal webcams to visualize heat distribution.

This book helps you to create a "Google Firebase" database, structure it for your IOT application, perform all downloads necessary to install the tools (all free), configure them, know how to implement your Arduino ESP8266 12E with programming codes for sending and receiving data from Firebase. Finally, it will construct a Dashboard (control panel) for monitoring and actuation of the data to control its Arduino, at first only variables, after the change of variables by sensors and LED's, etc.
