Architecture
The tech stack is broadly divided into x components.
- Data Storage
- Hardware layer
- Core Engine
- Front End
The project has the following components :
- NodeServices : Node APIs are hosted on a server which are used by an app & a WiFi module.
- ESP8266 WiFi module : The WiFi module is programmed to recursively ping a server (in my case - Google cloud) to get the latest status (On/Off) of the lamp.
- Arduino Uno : The Arduino accepts the service response as a String from the WiFi module and converts it into a JSON. Using the JSON, based on simple control flow statements, it controls a 5v relay.
- App : An app communicates with the APIs to set whether the lamp should be turned on or off.
