Here are the resources which I used for making
WiSwiSys2.0 and it's associated things.
1) ESP8266-01 WiFi module (Not being used
currently for WiSwiSys2.0)
ESP8266 is a low-cost, WiFi Module chip that can
be configured to connect to the Internet for Internet of Things(IoT) and
similar Technology Projects.
Basically, Your normal Electrical and Mechanical equipment cannot connect to the Internet on their own. They don’t have the
in-built setup to do so.You can setup ESP8266 with these equipment and do
amazing stuff. Controlling, Monitoring, Analysing and much more.
2) Arduino UNO (Not being used currently
for WiSwiSys2.0)
The Arduino UNO is a
widely used open-source microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P microcontroller and
developed by Arduino.cc.
The board is equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output pins that
may be interfaced to various modules or expansion boards for different
projects.
3) NodeMCU ESP8266 module
NodeMCU is a Firmware on ESP8266. Its basically
an SoC (System on Chip)
A System on a Chip or System on Chip(SoC) is an
integrated circuit that integrates all components of a computer or other
electronic systems.
I have used this module to connect my switches to
the blynk server.
4) Blynk
Blynk was designed for the Internet of things. It
can control hardware remotely, it can display sensor data, it can store data,
visualize it and do many other cool things.
I have used Blynk servers and their app for making this project.
5) Jumper wires
Used for connecting the modules.
6) 5V 4-channel Relay module
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid state relays.
7) Arduino IDE
It's a software used to
program micro-controllers like Arduino UNO, NodeMCU ESP8266, etc. through PC by
simply connecting them to the PC.
8) Thunkable (for custom app development)
Thunkable is a website
where you can build your own cross platform apps by simply dragging and
dropping the items you need in your app.
Learn more about the custom app by clicking
here.
9) IFTTT
IFTTT is a web-based
service through which you can link 2 or more different services together.
I have used IFTTT to introduce Google assistant/
Amazon Alexa support to WiSwiSys2.0.
