Arduino Code for ESP8266 (Mycroft Skill)

Arduino code for ESP8266 to communicate with Mycroft through the ESP8266 Skill.

Communication protocol implemented :

• http GET request
• Websocket
• MQTT

Requirement

Arduino libreries needed :

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <IRremoteESP8266.h>
#include <IRsend.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer.h>
#include <WebSocketsServer.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>

To use JSON message, I had to change from

#define MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE 128

to

#define MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE 512

in PubSubClient.h.

TODO

• Implement SPIFFS to get access to the flash memory and used to store HTML, CSS and JavaScript files.
• Implement ArduinoOTA.
• Use Mycroft Skill to set or reset the MQTT server or MQTT topic.
• Improve security.
