ESP8266-1 stand-alone

The ESP8266 is a low-cost WiFi module built by Espressif Systems. Its popularity has been growing among the hardware community thanks to it’s nice features and stability, to the point that it can be easily programmed using your Arduino IDE.

Requiremets

An ESP8266 module.
An Arduino UNO, UartSBee or any Uart to USB device.
Arduino IDE 1.6.5 or higher
UbidotsMicroESP8266 library
Jumper wires.

NOTE: This library is also compatible with the NodeMcu v1.0, on our help center you'll find a guide with the setup and examples codes.

Wires

First we’ll need to identify the pinout of ESP8266.

ESP8266	UARTbee	Arduino UNO
RXD	TXD	RX
GPIO0	GND	GND
GPIO2	—	—
GND	GND	GND
VCC	3.3V	3.3V
RST	—	—
CH_PD	3.3V	3.3V
TXD	RXD	TX

Note: If you are using an Arduino UNO you will need to set Arduino RST to GND. Please be careful with the VCC of the ESP8266, it works only with a 3.3V supply.

Setup

Download Arduino IDE.
Open you IDE and click on File -> Preferences.
In Aditional Boards Manager URLs add this line and click on “OK”: “http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json”
Open Boards Manager from Tools -> Board menu and install esp8266 platform.
Select the ESP8266 board from Tools > Board > Generic ESP8266 Module.
Download the UbidotsMicroESP8266 library here.
Now, click on Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library.
Select the .ZIP file of UbidotsMicroESP8266 and then "Accept" or "Choose".
Close the Arduino IDE and open it again.

Note: The library will create a new Ubidots data source named "ESP8266" getting the mac of the ESP8266 as device label. If you desire assign a different device name and label, you can add the add to your code the following lines

To change the Device Name:

client.setDataSourceName("New_name");

To change the Device label:

client.setDataSourceLabel("New_label");

Send values to Ubidots

You send values using the variable label or the variable ID, also you can send values with timestamp and context.

Send values using the variable label

The following example is to send one value to Ubidots, it will create the variable automatically with the label assign by you on the code. If you desire send more than one value just add this line client.add("variable_name", value); to your code with the parameters needed.

Also, you can find the example on the library examples. Go to Sketch -> Examples -> ubidots-esp8266-master library and select the "UbidotsSaveValueWithLabel" example.

Add your Ubidots TOKEN where indicated, as well as the WI-FI settings.

#include "UbidotsMicroESP8266.h"

#define TOKEN  "Your_token_here"  // Put here your Ubidots TOKEN
#define WIFISSID "Your_WiFi_SSID" // Put here your Wi-Fi SSID
#define PASSWORD "Your_WiFi_Password" // Put here your Wi-Fi password

Ubidots client(TOKEN);

void setup(){
    Serial.begin(115200);
    client.wifiConnection(WIFISSID, PASSWORD);
    //client.setDebug(true); // Uncomment this line to set DEBUG on
}

void loop(){
    float value1 = analogRead(0);
    //float value2 = analogRead(2)
    client.add("temperature", value1);
    //client.add("switch", value2);
    client.sendAll(true);
    delay(5000);

}

Send values using the variable ID

The following example is to send one value to Ubidots, you have to assing the variable ID to the code. Take a look of this guide to know where you can get the variable ID. If you desire send more than one value just add this line client.add("variable_name", value); to your code with the parameters needed.

Also, you can find the example on the examples folder. Go to Sketch -> Examples -> ubidots-esp8266-master library and select the "UbidotsSaveValueWithID" example.

Add your Ubidots TOKEN and variable ID where indicated, as well as the WI-FI settings.

#include "UbidotsMicroESP8266.h"

#define TOKEN  "Your_token_here"  // Put here your Ubidots TOKEN
#define ID_1 "Your_variable_ID_here" // Put your variable ID here
//#define ID_2 "Your_variable_ID_here" // Put your variable ID here
#define WIFISSID "Your_WiFi_SSID" // Put here your Wi-Fi SSID
#define PASSWORD "Your_WiFi_Password" // Put here your Wi-Fi password

Ubidots client(TOKEN);

void setup(){
    Serial.begin(115200);
    client.wifiConnection(WIFISSID, PASSWORD);
    //client.setDebug(true); // Uncomment this line to set DEBUG on
}

void loop(){
    float value1 = analogRead(0);
    //float value2 = analogRead(2)
    client.add(ID_1, value1);
    //client.add(ID_2, value2);
    client.sendAll(false);
    delay(5000);
}

Send values with timestamp

The following example is to send one value with timestamp to Ubidots, it will create the variable automatically with the label assign by you on the code.

Add your Ubidots TOKEN where indicated, as well as the WI-FI settings.

#include "UbidotsMicroESP8266.h"

#define TOKEN  "Your_token_here"  // Put here your Ubidots TOKEN
#define WIFISSID "Your_WiFi_SSID" // Put here your Wi-Fi SSID
#define PASSWORD "Your_WiFi_Password" // Put here your Wi-Fi password

Ubidots client(TOKEN);

void setup(){
    Serial.begin(115200);
    client.wifiConnection(WIFISSID, PASSWORD);
    //client.setDebug(true); // Uncomment this line to set DEBUG on
}

void loop(){
    float value = analogRead(0);
    unsigned long t = client.ntpUnixTime(); // calculates your actual timestamp in SECONDS

    client.add("humidity", value, NULL, t-20000);
    client.sendAll(true);  
    delay(5000);
}

Send values with context

The following example is to send one value with context to Ubidots, it will create the variable automatically with the label assign by you on the code.

Add your Ubidots TOKEN where indicated, as well as the WI-FI settings.

#include "UbidotsMicroESP8266.h"

#define TOKEN  "Your_token_here"  // Put here your Ubidots TOKEN
#define WIFISSID "Your_WiFi_SSID" // Put here your Wi-Fi SSID
#define PASSWORD "Your_WiFi_Password" // Put here your Wi-Fi password

Ubidots client(TOKEN);

void setup(){
    Serial.begin(115200);
    client.wifiConnection(WIFISSID, PASSWORD);
    //client.setDebug(true); // Uncomment this line to set DEBUG on
}

void loop(){
    float value = analogRead(0);
    char context[25];
    sprintf(context, "lat=1.2343$lng=132.1233"); //Sends latitude and longitude for watching position in a map

    client.add("humidity", value, context);
    client.sendAll(true); 
    delay(5000)
}

Get value from Ubidots

To get the last value of a variable from Ubidots you can use three different functions:

client.getValueWithId(ID)
client.getValueWithDevice(DEVICE_LABEL, VARIABLE_LABEL)
