Book Description
Developing IoT Projects with ESP32 provides end-to-end coverage of secure data communication techniques from sensors to cloud platforms that will help you to develop production-grade IoT solutions by using ESP32 SoC. You will learn how to employ ESP32 properly in your IoT projects by interfacing with different sensors and actuators and with different types of serial protocols.
The book will also show you how some projects require immediate output for end users. You'll also cover different display technologies as well as examples of driving different types of displays. The book features a dedicated chapter on cybersecurity packed with hands-on examples. As you progress, you will get to grips with BLE technologies and BLE mesh networking. You will work on a complete smart home project where all nodes communicate over a BLE mesh. Later chapters will show you how IoT requires cloud connectivity most of the time and remote access to smart devices and how cloud platforms and third-party integrations allow you to provide endless possibilities to your end-users, such as insights with big data analytics and predictive maintenance to minimize costs.
By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to start using ESP32 in your next wireless IoT project for a given set of requirements and developing effective, efficient, and secure solutions to meet those requirements.
