Controlling your home from a dashboard

In the first project of this chapter, we are going to learn how to control all the modules we assembled before from a cloud dashboard, using the aREST framework we already used in this book.

First, let's configure all the modules. We are going to start with the LED dimmer module, which is the easiest to configure. Here is the complete code for this module:

// Import required libraries
#include "ESP8266WiFi.h"
#include <PubSubClient.h>
#include <aREST.h>

// Clients
WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);

// Unique ID to identify the device for cloud.arest.io
char* device_id = "6g37g4";

// Create aREST instance
aREST rest = aREST(client);

// WiFi parameters
const char* ssid = "wifi-name";
const char* password = "wifi-pass";

// The port to listen for incoming TCP connections 
#define LISTEN_PORT           80

// Create an instance of the server
WiFiServer server(LISTEN_PORT);
