Learn how to use a transistor switching circuit to control DC loads with an ESP32, from 3.3V base drive to load current, with proper base resistor and transistor selection.
Learn to interface an ESP32 with a relay to switch AC loads using a transistor driver and optically isolated module. Understand coil voltage, NC/NO contacts, and safe microcontroller wiring.
Demonstrate interfacing a relay with an esp32 by wiring a transistor, relay module, and bulb to a 12-volt supply, sharing a common ground, and uploading a blinking program to observe switching.
Learn to interface a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor with ESP32 using the DHT sensor library and Adafruit unified sensor library, and distinguish analog and digital sensors.
Learn to control a relay-connected device over wifi using ESP32, creating a simple web page to turn relays on and off on your local network without internet.
Explore ESP32 weather monitoring over LAN, wiring a temperature-humidity sensor to GPIO 27 with a pull-up, uploading code, and viewing live readings via a local IP in a browser.
Explore the four-stage reference architecture for IoT systems, from sensors and embedded devices through edge gateways to cloud data storage and dashboards, with guidance on architecture choices.
Explore IoT hardware across microcontroller boards, single-board computers, and industrial gateways, and learn which connectivity options and protocols like wifi, lan, gsm, zigbee, bluetooth, and LoRa fit different scenarios.
Post temperature and humidity from an ESP32 to Thingspeak using a simple library approach. Set up the account, obtain the API key, and configure a two-field channel with 15-second updates.
Discover data visualizations in Thingspeak by building dashboards with widgets like numeric displays and gauges for temperature and humidity, and export data for analytics.
Learn how to build analytics in thingspeak using MATLAB analytics and alert API to email alerts when temperature exceeds a threshold, with visualizations and mobile access.
Demonstrates an Adafruit IoT project on ESP32, publishing temperature and humidity to the dashboard, handling throttling with a 3-second delay, and controlling a lamp via a switch with new feeds.
Learn to control a lamp with Alexa using an ESP32 and IFTTT, by creating applets that turn the lamp on and off via voice commands.
ESP32 for IoT – Build Real Projects with Alexa Integration
If you want to confidently build real Internet of Things (IoT) systems using ESP32, this course is designed for you.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Program ESP32 using the Arduino IDE
Interface sensors, relays, and real-world devices
Send data to cloud platforms like ThingSpeak and Adafruit IO
Understand and implement HTTP and MQTT protocols
Integrate ESP32 projects with Amazon Alexa using IFTTT
Build complete IoT systems from scratch
Why This Course?
Learning IoT with ESP32 can feel overwhelming.
There are many ESP32 variants, countless Arduino libraries, and scattered tutorials that rarely connect hardware, programming, and cloud platforms into one complete system.
This course removes that confusion.
Instead of random experiments, you will follow a structured roadmap — from ESP32 basics to full cloud-connected IoT projects with Alexa integration.
