Esp8266 code to use Smart Remote app with Esp8266

Smart Remote

This an Esp8266 Wifi module code to turn on or off Devices by using Smart Remote app. \n you can download the app from here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.basemosama.smarthome

Esp8266 Setup

The example Esp8266 code uses Arduino to program the Wifi Module .
you will need to setup arduino to use the example. you can follow the instructions in the link below
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino

Libraries

You will have to install these libraries

• Arduino Json : you can install it from library manger or from here https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/arduinojson/
• SimpleTimer : you will need to download it and put it in your arduio libraries folder from here : https://github.com/schinken/SimpleTimer

For More Informations on how to install the libraries you can follow this guide

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries

Setup

You should add your Wifi SSID and Pasword on the arduino code .
Then You should get the ip address of the Esp8266 Wifi Module after running the code.
and then update the app ip address on the app settings.

How it Work

First the Esp8266 will create a local server that we will use to communicate with the app. for each device it will be represtende in json and has the following properties :(id - name - status - pin) The server has 3 main routes we can use by sending POST requests and data will be sent and recived in json

GET /

will show a Hello World message to show that the server is working

POST /status

Body json( json array of devices : ) like:
[
   {
      "id":1,
      "name":"led",
      "pin":0,
      "status":true
   },
   {
      "id":2,
      "name":"tv",
      "pin":0,
      "status":false
   },
   {
      "id":3,
      "name":"Pc",
      "pin":0,
      "status":true
   }
]

this method is responsible of changing the state of each device depending on the status of each device sent in the body of the request

POST /timer Body json( json array of devices : ) like above
Response :
[
   {
      "id":1,
      "name":"led",
      "pin":0,
      "status":true,
	  "time":756,  
	  "timeText":"22:45",
	 "timerId":1
   },
   {
      "id":2,
      "name":"tv",
      "pin":0,
      "status":false
   },
   {
      "id":3,
      "name":"Pc",
      "pin":0,
      "status":true
   }
]

this method will set a timer for certain duration for each device that has a time value it will make the Esp8266 change the state of the device after this duration

POST /sync  Body json( json array of devices : ) like previous requests

this will update the status of each device base on there pins and return back the devices with the updated state.
