Richard Hawthorn] sent us in this interesting fail, complete with an attempted (and yet failed) clever solution. We love learning through other people’s mistakes, so we’re passing it on to you.

First the obvious-in-retrospect fail. [Richard] built a board with a temperature sensor and an ESP8266 module to report the temperature to the Interwebs. If you’ve ever put your finger on an ESP8266 module when it’s really working, you’ll know what went wrong here: the ESP8266 heated up the board and gave a high reading on the temperature sensor.

ESP8266 + temp sensor fail!

We want to build Easy Internet of Things framework. With EasyIoT Cloud framework you are able to build your most simple IoT in couple of minutes.

Components

1 × ESP8266
1 × sensor modules

ESP8266 WiFi DS18B20 temperature sensor (EasyIoT Cloud REST API)

In this tutorial we will show how to build WiFi temperature sensor connected in EasyIoT Cloud. We will use ESP8266, DS18B20 and Arduino IDE.

The world hottest WiFi IoT Chip, ESP8266. I know you feel hard(and suck…but don't let them know) when using SDK to program, so we decided to insert the Lua(an script language with easy syntax) to the ESP8266. Through NodeMcu, you can build up IoT(Internet of Things) BY YOUR OWN HAND. Much easier, more fun~

1.The things you need to prepare
A NodeMcu v2. Board
An DHT11 or DHT22 sensor
