This repo contains the source code to help you get familiar with Azure IoT using the Azure IoT SparkFun ESP8266 Thing-Dev Starter Kit. You will find the lesson-based tutorials on Azure.com.

This repo contains an arduino application that runs on board SparkFun ESP8266 Thing-Dev with a DHT22 temperature&humidity sensor, and then sends these data to your IoT hub. At the same time, this application receives Cloud-to-Device message from your IoT hub, and takes actions according to the C2D command.

You can follow this page to create your Azure IoT hub and register your device.

1. Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
2. Enter http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into Additional Board Manager URLs field. You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas.
3. Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board menu and install esp8266 platform 2.2.0 or later.
4. Select your ESP8266 board from Tools > Board menu after installation.

Install the following libraries from Sketch -> Include library -> Manage libraries

• AzureIoTHub
• AzureIoTUtility
• AzureIoTProtocol_MQTT
• ArduinoJson
• DHT sensor library
• Adafruit Unified Sensor

You can follow the image to connect your DHT22 with your SparkFun ESP8266 Thing-Dev.

You can use the application to simulate temperature&humidity data and send to your IoT hub.

1. Open the app/config.h file.
2. Change the SIMULATED_DATA value from false to true.

Upload the app.ino to your board.

After you successfully upload the code to your board. You will see some prompt, input your credential information according to the prompts.

You can send a C2D message to your device. You can see the device prints out the message and blinks once receiving the message.

You can send start or stop device method command to your Pi to start/stop sending message to your IoT hub.
