IoTSK

This is a demo project used to programmatically interact with an Arduino IoT device and deploy the NodeJs application to Heroku.

It's intended to be a primer for the following software:

• Arduino iot-js, used to subscribe to the mqtt broker and being able to read and send data
• Arduino iot-api JS client, used to interrogate Arduino IoT cloud endpoints
• Heroku CLI, used to run the node application locally and deploy it in the cloud

👩‍🚀 Pre-requisites

• Node.js version 12 (LTS)

🚀 Local development Quickstart

1. Install npm dependencies

   npm i

2. Create a .env file in the project root. IOT_CLIENT_ID and IOT_CLIENT_SECRET can be generated in the Arduino IoT Cloud. THING_ID is both in the sketch file and in the Arduino IoT Cloud

   IOT_CLIENT_ID=<arduino iot key>
   IOT_CLIENT_SECRET=<arduino iot secret>
   THING_ID=<the id of the thing to connect with>

3. Setup Heroku

   • Create an account if you don't have one
   • Install Heroku CLI
   • login running heroku login in your shell
   • run heroku create in the project root directory

4. Run your app locally on http://localhost:3000

   • via heroku local
   • with the provided launch configuration if you are using VSCode
   • via npm start
