A ESP8266 Library for easy IOT device development.
The CoogleIOT library was created to make building IOT devices on the ESP8266 microcontroller easier by providing a solid encapsulated framework for most of the common things you want to do on an IOT device, including:
- Captive Portal for configuration of the device - allowing you to configure the AP name, the Wifi Client, and the built in MQTT Client. Just connect to the AP and configure (mobile friendly).
- Built in persistent logging mechanisms using SPIFFS filesystem (also available for viewing from the web interface)
- Built in MQTT client (provided by PubSubClient)
- Built in UI libraries for the device (Mini.css for style, jquery 3.x for Javascript) that can be served from the AP
using the
/cssor/jqueryURLs - Built in NTP client for access to local date / time on device
- Built in DNS Server during configuration for captive portal support when connected to the device as an AP directly
- Built in Security-minded tools like HTML Escaping and other filters to prevent malicious inputs
- Built in OTA firmware update support. Can both upload a new firmware from the UI or pull a new one down from a server
- Built in Timer allows you to create very clean timings for measurements, et.c (i.e. read sensor every x minutes)

CoogleIOT is designed to hang out in the background so your sketches are focused on the things you actually want to work on without having to worry about things like WiFi or MQTT clients. Here is an example of using it to control a Garage Door w/open and close sensors:

There are other projects that use this library which serve as great examples of it's use as well. You should probably check out these:
Coogle Switch - A CoogleIOT-powered ESP8266 sketch for creating smart switches that operate over MQTT (controlling a relay module of configured sized). Just set up which pins your relay operates on and it takes care of all the MQTT topics, etc. you need for it to work.
When MQTT is enabled, CoogleIOT automatically sends a periodic heartbeat message to /coogleiot/devices/<client_id> containing a JSON payload with useful information:
{
"timestamp" : "2017-10-27 05:27:13",
"ip" : "192.168.1.130",
"coogleiot_version" : "1.2.1",
"client_id" : "bbq-temp-probe"
}
If running multiple CoogleIOT devices this can be very useful to keep track of them all by just subscribing to the /coogleiot/devices/# wildcard channel which will capture all the heartbeat transmissions.
Presently, due to This Issue in the MQTT client used by CoogleIOT it is important that you compile your sketches using the MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE flag set to a reasonable value (we recommend 512). Without this flag, larger MQTT packets (i.e. long topic names) will not be sent properly.
Please consult your build envrionment's documentation on how to set this compile-time variable. (hint: -DMQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE 512 works)
CoogleIOT is an evolving code base, so this API may change before this document is updated to reflect that. The best source is the source. When possible CoogleIOT uses a fluent interface, allowing you to chain method calls together:
// Chaining method calls together
iot->enableSerial(115200)
->initialize();
void CoogleIOT::CoogleIOT(status_led_pin = NULL)
The library constructor. You may provide an optional pin to use for a status LED which will be used to indicate different
states the device can be in (i.e. WiFi initializing, etc.)
bool CoogleIOT::initialize()
Must be called in setup() of your sketch to initialize the library and it's components
void CoogleIOT::loop()
Must be called in loop() of your sketch
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::enableSerial(int baud = 115200)
Enables Serial output from the IOT library. Will initialize the Serial object for you at the baud rate specified if not
already initialized.
PubSubClient* CoogleIOT::getMQTTClient()
Return a pointer to the built in PubSubClient to use in your sketch
bool CoogleIOT::serialEnabled()
Returns true if Serial is enabled
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::flashStatus(speed_in_ms, repeat = 5)
Flashes the defined pin / LED at a speed, repeating as defined (5 times by default)
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::flashSOS()
Flashes the status pin / LED in an SOS pattern (useful to indicate an error)
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::resetEEProm()
Resets the EEPROM memory used by CoogleIOT to NULL, effectively "factory resetting" the device
void CoogleIOT::restartDevice()
Restarts the device. Due to This Bug, you must physically press the restart button on the ESP8266 after flashing via Serial. If you fail to do that, this command will hang the device.
String CoogleIOT::filterAscii()
Filters the provided string of anything that is not a printable ASCII character
bool CoogleIOT::verifyFlashConfiguration()
Verifies the Flash configuration for the device (what the device supports, vs. what the device is set as in your sketch) is
correct.
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::syncNTPTime(int offsetSeconds, int daylightOffsetSeconds)
Synchronizes and sets the local device date / time based on NTP servers. Must have a working WiFi connection to use this
method. The first parameter is the number of seconds local time is offset from UTC time (i.e. -5 hrs in seconds is America/New York). The second parameter is the number of seconds to offset based on daylight savings.
String CoogleIOT::getWiFiStatus()
Returns a string representing the current state of the WiFi Client
bool CoogleIOT::mqttActive()
Returns true/false indicating if the MQTT client is active and ready to use or not
bool CoogleIOT::dnsActive()
Returns true/false if the integrated captive portal DNS is enabled or not
bool CoogleIOT::ntpActive()
Returns true/false if the NTP client is online and synchronizing with NTP time servers
bool CoogleIOT::firmwareClientActive()
Returns true/false if the periodic firmware client (that will download a new firmware from a web server) is active or not. If active, the Firmware client will check every 30 minutes for a new firmware at the configured URL
bool CoogleIOT::apStatus()
Returns true/false if the AP of the device is active or not.
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::registerTimer(int interval, callback)
Create a callback timer that will call callback (void function with no params) every interval milliseconds. You can turn off the timer
by passing 0 as the interval. Useful for taking a sensor reading every X seconds, etc.
void CoogleIOT::checkForFirmwareUpdate()
Performs a check against the specified Firmware Server endpoint for a new version of this device's firmware. If a new version exists it performs the upgrade.
The following getters/setters are pretty self explainatory. Each getter will return a String object of the value from EEPROM (or another primiative data type), with a matching setter:
String CoogleIOT::getRemoteAPName()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setRemoteAPName(String)
String CoogleIOT::getRemoteAPPassword()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setRemoteAPPassword(String)
String CoogleIOT::getMQTTHostname()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setMQTTHostname(String)
String CoogleIOT::getMQTTUsername()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setMQTTUsername(String)
String CoogleIOT::getMQTTPassword()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setMQTTPassword(String)
String CoogleIOT::getMQTTClientId()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setMQTTClientId()
int CoogleIOT::getMQTTPort()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setMQTTPort(int)
String CoogleIOT::getAPName()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setAPName(String)
String CoogleIOT::getAPPassword()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setAPPassword(String)
String CoogleIOT::getFirmwareUpdateUrl()
CoogleIOT& CoogleIOT::setFirmwareUpdateUrl(String)
The Firmware default values and settings are defined in the CoogleIOTConfig.h file and can be overriden by providing new #define statements

Defines the status LED flash speed for WiFi initialization
#define COOGLEIOT_STATUS_MQTT_INIT 100
Defines the status LED flash speed for MQTT initialization
#define COOGLEIOT_AP "COOGLEIOT_
Defines the prepended string used for the default AP name. The remainder of the AP name will be a randomly generated number (i.e. COOGLEIOT_234934)
#define COOGLEIOT_AP_DEFAULT_PASSWORD "coogleiot"
The default AP password
#define COOGLEIOT_DEFAULT_MQTT_CLIENT_ID "coogleIoT"
The default MQTT client ID

The default NTP Timezone offset (America/New York)
#define COOGLEIOT_DAYLIGHT_OFFSET 0
The default NTP Daylight Offset
#define COOGLEIOT_NTP_SERVER_1 "pool.ntp.org" #define COOGLEIOT_NTP_SERVER_2 "time.nist.gov" #define COOGLEIOT_NTP_SERVER_3 "time.google.com"
The three default NTP servers to attempt to synchronize with
#define COOGLEIOT_FIRMWARE_UPDATE_CHECK_MS 54000000 // 15 Minutes in Milliseconds
The frequency that we will check for a new Firmware Update if the server is configured. Defaults to 15 minutes.
#define COOGLEIOT_DNS_PORT 53
The default DNS port
#define COOGLE_EEPROM_EEPROM_SIZE 1024
The amount of EEPROM memory allocated to CoogleIOT, 1kb default.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT reduce this value below it's default value unless you really know what you are doing, otherwise you will break the firmware.
#define COOGLEIOT_WEBSERVER_PORT 80
The default Webserver port for the configuration system
#define COOGLEIOT_DEBUG
If defined, it will enable debugging mode for CoogleIOT which will dump lots of debugging data to the Serial port (if enabled)
