@@skyevanderheijden5382 Have you fixed this issue? I have the same issue but i think you need to make some changes in the code or something. I think you need to put some text in the serial monitor but I havent figured it out yet.
Thank you for properly explaining things from start to end.. Most RUclipsrs assume people already know about PHP or making a web site, but I do not as I am sure others. So again, thank you for taking the time and doing it properly.
Now I don't know if anyone has spotted this. There is a ***MISTAKE*** in the schematic at 8:11 in the video. The voltage divider is wrongly connected to the Rx pin of the 8266 and pin 11 of the Arduino MEGA. One must disconnect: 1) upper terminal of the 1k resistor from pin 4 of the 8266 and 2) cyan wire from pin 11 of the MEGA and switch them over i.e. the cyan wire goes to the 8266 pin 4 and the upper terminal of the 1k resistor goes to pin 11 of the MEGA. If you leave it as is, no voltage dividing is accomplished and the full 5V level is applied to the Rx pin of the 8266; this can stress the ic to unknown results. Having said that, CONGRATS for one more great video and project!
"Full version" of code will also work on arduino UNO or NANO (ATmega328P) if you store all string in program memory (flash) via "F( )" macro. e.g.: Serial.println(F("READY TO SEND")); ( or lcd.print(F(...)); ) Like this I reduce the used RAM to 70% (595 bytes left). Obviously I didn´t test it yet (because I don´t have an ESP Wi-Fi module). And if it will still cause stability problems you can store other variables (because 45% of program memory are still unused) (e.g.: const char SSID_ESP[] = "..."; const char SSID_KEY[] = "..."; ...) via PROGMEM macro. e.g.: PROGMEM const char SSID_ESP[] = "..."; but you will need to write a little bit of code e.g.: for(i=0; i

Hello my friends, we need to discuss basic website security please remember that allowing anyone that can see the website access to change it can result in....unexpected consequences this becomes even more important when you are controlling mechanical items through the website a basic password will stop the curious, for the determined, more drastic measures are needed do not rely on obscurity, that is useless for security that is all.
I'm a little conflicted; I can host the site locally and just go in via VPN tunnel for best security, BUT at that point ill have a server in the house already, so why not skip the arduino and use a raspberry Pi. I wonder if there is a way of making this self contained on the arduino. It can throw up a basic no frills HTML page and read data directly from its own EEPROM, so it might be possible?
Can you just create 2 websites : 1) for just the user controls, and 2) another for responding to the user controls? And this is pw protected and responds to user commands? This way, the user only gets access to #1. Not the meat of the innards which controls safety etc? (I'm a noob at internet. Just trying to learn....)
I like this very much however this is how I would do it. Arduino, ESP8266 and a Omega2 or Raspberry Pi as the host. Install LAMP on the Pi or LNMP on the Omega2 since it will be the host. Sign up with a DynamicDNS and setup vLan on the router with some port forwarding and you'll have your own IoT server. Wonder if anyone has made a Arduino to Python Crosscompiler / emulator yet. This way you can just use the Pi or Omega2. Toss in a ZWave Controller and then you could really do some awesome Home Automation with it.
Hello Leland, I have done a project with the method you recommend. The advantage is that response time is much less. However somehow router stopped forwarding to assigned ports. To avoid router problems, one of the outputs is recycling router daily. So currently with DDNS service set on camera dvr, I get the ip address daily. But as port forwarding doesn’t work, I cannot access ardunio. Well, currently I’m 1000 km a way from router and cannot set back the port forwarding. So only way to fix this problem is replacing router with a remote control feature or to have a pc running teamviewer or logmein on it. Both options are costly. So as a result, I will have to update my ardunio that will run over a server database on internet. So if you are able to be near the router, your method is fine as you could fix issue on the place. But if you are a way and have a chance to set router settings once a year, Best to have a control over server database.
I hope others have mentioned this, but you've implemented no security of communication between the webserver and controller nor the between the webserver and the browser client. On the face of it I would expect anyone to be able to control whatever your website controls. This means if you set it to issue alarms or set equipment on or off, anyone on the planet could do so. You show an example of opening your door latch remotely, and in this setup anyone could do so if they found your free website. Some of this would be ameliorated if you'd implemented SSL between the controller and the website, and between the client of the website and the browser. On top of this I'd be adding an authorization page to access your control page (as a minimum). The 000website service does not provide SSL protection unless you pay for it. In fact it doesn't even supply SSH services. It's unclear if you could implement SSL yourself, using a self signed certificate or one of the free services (letsencrypt.org/ for instance). Really, I'd be more inclined to buy a small SoC device like a Raspberry Ri and setup the web server on it, which means you have complete control over how and what is implemented. This would enable you to have SSL and SSH services, and even a VPN server (like OpenVPN) if you desire. I'd then create a port forward setup on your home router to allow connections to that host from the Internet. All the communications between that host and your Arduino would be inside your local network and not over the Internet (and you could add encryption to that traffic as well if you so desired). If you wanted a specific domain address to resolve where your home public IP address is, you could use one of the Dynamic DNS services that are available for no cost. No-IP, or FreeDNS come to mind but there are a range of others who provide this service. If you use a VPN, then you connect via VPN to your host first, then either login or simply control things via the website as you've demonstrated. You could get a similar effect by using an SSH channel to connect to your host from the outside, if you didn't want to setup up VPN. Security is one of the concerns best implemented from the beginning and not just tacked on later in the process.
Yup. For something like a mailbox "you've got mail" notification, who cares if others see this. They could just watch the mailman for the same information. It's already public data. That's what I would do with this. In my experience, something like a privately hosted option is far more likely to fail than one hosted by a company online, but I'm no IT guy. The entire business model with these "free" web host sites is based on a long game. They are counting on a small percentage of people to build up enough presence on the site so that they use more than the free bandwidth limit. They need this bandwidth threshold to be high enough that moving to another platform is more of an expense than (over) paying for the site's services. They are trying to get people to invert the path of least resistance so that paying more is easier than not. This kind of thing takes time to develop. The only way for them to succeed is to play the long game, so exploiting the service like this is a pretty stable option IMO.
1, Pay for your own host - It's super cheap £5 a month gets you a basic web host with PHP. Or host it yourself, using a static IP or a DDNS service. A paid host is more likely to remain up all the time, and is more likely to have more secure apache settings than a typical home grown site. Either way you're still exposing the service to the internet so... 2, Security and encryption. These both work great for all sorts of things. Having your devices authenticate over an encrypted connection is all well and good, however this does add latency, security can be 'hacked' and encryption can be broken. 3, "Security" through obscurity. One should not send explicit data... send a load of random crap with your important data at known positions along the junk. don't send plain text data, just send binary and reconstruct the stuff after...etc... Also as good as this project seems I have a worry it could be bloated - I've not looked at it, and I know Kevin Darrah's work, but I suspect something is sandbagged here as I've been able to very easily get an ESP8266 to decode JSON strings with VAST amounts of text and numeric data, and pass that along to a 'duino for parsing. Having these 3 boolean limits, and an uno can't contain all the code, seems very odd.
Hello Sir your video is very super .. my skill is developed by your channel Thankyou for sharing your knowledge . I need you help sir .. How develop an app for Set SSID & Password for ESP8266 using mobile Thanks in advance

Thanks a ton ! I don't find enough words to thank you. Your's is the first video Ihave ever seen on this topic that is all - descriptive enough yet in simple but precise language ! Keep up the work. Do you have any similar tutorial for Arduino Uno as well ? What will be the differences, at list ?
Hello, sorry for the basic question, but how can i uplooad multiple files to the arduino ? I will try to alter your project a bit , to use a server i rent over the internet, from linux, which im configuring, do you think that i will have much complication ? I will try to make the arduino insert the info on my db , and control it on another webpage that i made. This is because i have a college project to make im trying to guide myself by your project in order to do something similar .
Great viddeo, thanks you. Quick question thouhg: I have an Arduino UNO, is there a way I can make it run more effectively on the UNO (eg. code I can snip) as I don't have an Arduino MEGA?
Great Video .. Since the NodeMCU gives both the Connection to the Wifi and has I/O would be nice if you could possibly show how to convert your current project onto NodeMCU.. Just a suggestion :)
Have you tried socket programming (using IPv6)? I presume that would be much faster than using a web app for this task. There's a lot of overhead involved in the management of web requests, right!
I may have missed something but... 1) why do you use esp8266 + arduino mega instead of the esp alone? pin cout? - if yes then just add i2c pin expanders and it still will be a cheaper solution with the same functionality ihmo 2) while the given PHP code may work and get things done it is also not secured, it is unlikely for anyone to find such endpoint and know what to send there but some authentication would be nice 3) as above, it may work but calling "example.com/esp/update_values.php" is meh imho, URLs like "example.com/esp_apiv1//update" "example.com/esp_apiv1//read" looks much better and are self-explanatory, you can use existing frameworks like Lumen do code that or you can even add it to your WordPress website since it has also a built-in rest API (I have done similar thing) all in all good video to just get started but what was missing (or what I missed) is that it can be done better if you spent more time on it :(
@@aliismail2962 ESP8266 has microcontroller capability, just google "esp8266 boards comparison" and you will get many of them. They are quite cheap so if you need to connect a small device to the internet (like in this vid) it is a very interesting and cost-effective option

Cayenne IoT on a Raspberry Pi is very powerful and very easy for beginners. No coding resuired. You can add sensors, motors, screens, ... and confiqure them with a wizard. It's crazy
This PHP code is so damn wrong... Wrong indentation and very strange usage of arrays. You don't use foreach to acquire values, just use $_REQUEST['id'] (if you are not confident with existence, check it with isset) . Your app is vulnerable of unauthorized changes of values (you should check some key on PHP side) and also SQL injection. You should put warning, that it is very unsafe, but I suggest redo of episode due to low quality. If you wanna get only one row from DB, you should receive only one row using WHERE statement, not getting whole table and ifing to find this only one. Don't make two connections to same database - you can send as many queries as you like with only one connection. Don't violate DRY rule. Also, it is recommended to close DB connection and not to close (sic!) PHP script. Git hosting would also be nice :( If you wanna redo this code, I can help you, feel free to PM me.
@@fouzaialaa7962 A NodeMCU can do the same as an Arduino and you can even use the same code and the arduino ide. So there is really no need for a separate arduino.
@@ChrisPrefect yes but sometimes you find a library that arduino uses that is not available for Node and then what ?? ...... it happend to me before so i always try to research everything before ....... every thing depends on the project ....but better be safe than sorry !!!!
nice try to introduce beginners into programming world however things that should be taken in consideration are the following: - Everytime use https (you don't want your traffic to be sniffed, intercepted or changed) - A authentication process is mandatory (everybody will have access to that page otherwise) - Http is not the most friendly protocol for embedded. (In serious IOT projects nobody uses http, instead use a mqtt or other lightweight protocol proxy) - Don't use cheap hosts for such proposes (A lot of such companies have no privacy terms and the resources you are getting are very low, instead host it on your own computer or buy a raspberry pi and use it as a server) Overall this is a pretty good idea, however I would recommend you to use frameworks already done for such proposes (for example node-red) since they already have implemented things such as security that will be difficult to implement, especially for someone with no background in programming.

How to resolve looping reset cwhmod bla bla bla.. i was connected and successfull this project but still little bug in looping reset and BLA BLA BLA error
Yes. If you are a programmer then it's not hard. Your comment is actually silly. It's like saying imagine cooking a dinner without knowing how to cook. Or speaking other language if you don't know it.
Do you have a sloution with an App for android instead of a homepage? The two-way-communication is necessary for my project. I want to send commands and receive data with the app.
hello so the way esp(client) recieves data orders from the server is by checking the database . doesn't that consume a lot of network ressource since it needs to check periodicly! and isn't there any way to make our servers send data via http to esp ?
Yes, you can. You have to use mqtt(in place of http requests), that would work in publish subscribe model, so your esp can subscribe to a topic and will get notified when your app will publish on that topic.

They need this bandwidth threshold to be high enough that moving to another platform is more of an expense than (over) paying for the site's services. They are trying to get people to invert the path of least resistance so that paying more is easier than not. This kind of thing takes time to develop. The only way for them to succeed is to play the long game, so exploiting the service like this is a pretty stable option IMO.
1, Pay for your own host - It's super cheap £5 a month gets you a basic web host with PHP. Or host it yourself, using a static IP or a DDNS service.
A paid host is more likely to remain up all the time, and is more likely to have more secure apache settings than a typical home grown site.
Either way you're still exposing the service to the internet so...
2, Security and encryption. These both work great for all sorts of things. Having your devices authenticate over an encrypted connection is all well and good, however this does add latency, security can be 'hacked' and encryption can be broken.
3, "Security" through obscurity. One should not send explicit data... send a load of random crap with your important data at known positions along the junk. don't send plain text data, just send binary and reconstruct the stuff after...etc...
Also as good as this project seems I have a worry it could be bloated - I've not looked at it, and I know Kevin Darrah's work, but I suspect something is sandbagged here as I've been able to very easily get an ESP8266 to decode JSON strings with VAST amounts of text and numeric data, and pass that along to a 'duino for parsing. Having these 3 boolean limits, and an uno can't contain all the code, seems very odd.
Let's just hope you're security is better then an industrial hosting service.. but ofc, if you have the infrastructure why not?

Hello Sir
your video is very super .. my skill is developed by your channel Thankyou for sharing your knowledge .
I need you help sir .. How develop an app for Set SSID & Password for ESP8266 using mobile
Thanks in advance
Thanks for sharing! This project really opens a wide range of possibilities.
Hai.. do u have the sample code for this project.???? Can u help me please???
@@trashk1483 The link to the tutorial is in the description. The tutorial webpage has a zip file which contains all the .ino files mentioned in the video.
Excellent, works like a charm now I’ll code it for nodemcu and just a couple sensors and home automations is in the bag! Thanks
Hi sir, tell me if you understood about the topic, send me your email address
Hello, were you able to code it for nodeMCU?
Very good project 👍
in tx.php i get the error (Undefined variable: update_number in /storage/ssd3/262/13007262/public_html/TX.php on line 70)
can any body help me!!!
why it dont work? I did all the things. but it shows me a page and this "You see this page because your website doesn't have "index.php" or "index.html" file in public_html folder."
what should i do now
Thanks a ton !
I don't find enough words to thank you. Your's is the first video Ihave ever seen on this topic that is all - descriptive enough yet in simple but precise language ! Keep up the work.
Do you have any similar tutorial for Arduino Uno as well ? What will be the differences, at list ?
Great work. Very precise and informative tutorial guides. Lots of thanks
Can we now use ethernet port instead ..
wow, that was really helpful. Thank You.
Hello, sorry for the basic question, but how can i uplooad multiple files to the arduino ? I will try to alter your project a bit , to use a server i rent over the internet, from linux, which im configuring, do you think that i will have much complication ? I will try to make the arduino insert the info on my db , and control it on another webpage that i made. This is because i have a college project to make im trying to guide myself by your project in order to do something similar .
Great viddeo, thanks you. Quick question thouhg: I have an Arduino UNO, is there a way I can make it run more effectively on the UNO (eg. code I can snip) as I don't have an Arduino MEGA?
I can't find uno codes too.
I want to send bme280 and gp2y1010au0f sensor data. Do i need to create variables for these values to send it ?
Great Video .. Since the NodeMCU gives both the Connection to the Wifi and has I/O would be nice if you could possibly show how to convert your current project onto NodeMCU.. Just a suggestion :)
Same here
did any of you guys figure that out?
Have you tried socket programming (using IPv6)? I presume that would be much faster than using a web app for this task. There's a lot of overhead involved in the management of web requests, right!
I may have missed something but...
1) why do you use esp8266 + arduino mega instead of the esp alone? pin cout? - if yes then just add i2c pin expanders and it still will be a cheaper solution with the same functionality ihmo
2) while the given PHP code may work and get things done it is also not secured, it is unlikely for anyone to find such endpoint and know what to send there but some authentication would be nice
3) as above, it may work but calling "example.com/esp/update_values.php" is meh imho, URLs like "example.com/esp_apiv1//update" "example.com/esp_apiv1//read" looks much better and are self-explanatory, you can use existing frameworks like Lumen do code that or you can even add it to your WordPress website since it has also a built-in rest API (I have done similar thing)
all in all good video to just get started but what was missing (or what I missed) is that it can be done better if you spent more time on it :(
I think this esp8266 is just a WiFi module and not a full microcontroller
@@aliismail2962 ESP8266 has microcontroller capability, just google "esp8266 boards comparison" and you will get many of them. They are quite cheap so if you need to connect a small device to the internet (like in this vid) it is a very interesting and cost-effective option
Hello Electronoobs, Great Video and Content as usual, this was very helpfull. But where is the code for Arduino UNO??
I was thingking about it too... it is impossible to use it on arduino UNO? Is it because of the memory size? IDK TmT
I have connected everything correctly but it does not work. when i open my serial monitor it keeps spitting out:

same to me.. did you fixed it?
Do not use arduino with ESP, just use ESP only :)
This is about ten times more faster chip!
Do you try something like that?
Sir can i use only the Text input and send ID number to database for may IOT attendance syem using only Nodemcu Esp8266 and a router
this is so cool, thank you for the explanation
Please make another video using arduino uno with code
Hi, beautiful project, congratulations, I want to implement it with ESP32, in the next days I will try it.
I would just like to know if in the project you have implemented a form of control to know if the device is on line or offline.
Did you do it
i don't have Arduino mega i have Arduino uno so is it possible to give me simple example about how to turn 4 leds on and off also get the leds status if its on or off.i tried your example on arduino uno but i got error message "Not enough memory"
Hey, really nice work man.
Can you tell me how we can upload multiple Arduino code to a single Arduino?
Will the previous uploaded code get deleted?
great video, was able to create the website and uploaded and edited the files and had it working in about a half hour. Your instructions were perfect, thanks. Now I have to do the Arduino stuff.
Please make more videos like this or I will dislike
If I only want the boolean variables, can I use an arduino uno?
Thank you for your excellent tutorial and all your videos ... but the diagram at 8:11 has some comments from me ... 1- PIN GPIO0 grounded when upload code, float otherwise 2- divider resistor is inverted ,The medium point must connected to RX(ESP).
i did that and yet the esp doesnt connect to the wifii network, any idea why?

It provided a solution to my problem
Cayenne IoT on a Raspberry Pi is very powerful and very easy for beginners. No coding resuired. You can add sensors, motors, screens, ... and confiqure them with a wizard. It's crazy
I'm looking to make this for a radio and series of pistons, so that I can remote control my radio when I'm not at home.
This PHP code is so damn wrong... Wrong indentation and very strange usage of arrays. You don't use foreach to acquire values, just use $_REQUEST['id'] (if you are not confident with existence, check it with isset) . Your app is vulnerable of unauthorized changes of values (you should check some key on PHP side) and also SQL injection. You should put warning, that it is very unsafe, but I suggest redo of episode due to low quality. If you wanna get only one row from DB, you should receive only one row using WHERE statement, not getting whole table and ifing to find this only one. Don't make two connections to same database - you can send as many queries as you like with only one connection. Don't violate DRY rule. Also, it is recommended to close DB connection and not to close (sic!) PHP script. Git hosting would also be nice :( If you wanna redo this code, I can help you, feel free to PM me.
Nodemcu 8266 or 32 and blynk would be a lot cheaper and easy for iot projects..
using adafruit mqtt server is cheaper.
the flexibility of using an arduino (much more easier) trumps everything !!
@@suloman5845 mqtt on arduino is a bitch !!!!! trust me i know !!!!
@@fouzaialaa7962 A NodeMCU can do the same as an Arduino and you can even use the same code and the arduino ide. So there is really no need for a separate arduino.
@@ChrisPrefect yes but sometimes you find a library that arduino uses that is not available for Node and then what ?? ...... it happend to me before so i always try to research everything before ....... every thing depends on the project ....but better be safe than sorry !!!!
Hi, Thanks for sharing, the video has great quality both information and visuals, GREAT
nice try to introduce beginners into programming world however things that should be taken in consideration are the following:
- Everytime use https (you don't want your traffic to be sniffed, intercepted or changed)
- A authentication process is mandatory (everybody will have access to that page otherwise)
- Http is not the most friendly protocol for embedded. (In serious IOT projects nobody uses http, instead use a mqtt or other lightweight protocol proxy)
- Don't use cheap hosts for such proposes (A lot of such companies have no privacy terms and the resources you are getting are very low, instead host it on your own computer or buy a raspberry pi and use it as a server)
Overall this is a pretty good idea, however I would recommend you to use frameworks already done for such proposes (for example node-red) since they already have implemented things such as security that will be difficult to implement, especially for someone with no background in programming.
Thank you, great job, but why webpage, we are in time of mobile apps, what about nodemcu it has a wi fi adapter
You are awsome thanks for the whole process

How to resolve looping reset cwhmod bla bla bla.. i was connected and successfull this project but still little bug in looping reset and BLA BLA BLA error
Can you imagine doing this from scratch without looking up things on the internet
Yes. If you are a programmer then it's not hard. Your comment is actually silly. It's like saying imagine cooking a dinner without knowing how to cook. Or speaking other language if you don't know it.
@@spawnterror oh yeah true i didn't think about it like that
Do you have a sloution with an App for android instead of a homepage? The two-way-communication is necessary for my project. I want to send commands and receive data with the app.
hello so the way esp(client) recieves data orders from the server is by checking the database .
doesn't that consume a lot of network ressource since it needs to check periodicly!
and isn't there any way to make our servers send data via http to esp ?
Yes, you can. You have to use mqtt(in place of http requests), that would work in publish subscribe model, so your esp can subscribe to a topic and will get notified when your app will publish on that topic.
