A software application is supposed to be developed to control the thermostat remotely. Based on the main features of electronic thermostats on the market, it was possible to define a basic model . The ESP8266-01, a low-power WiFi transceiver was then added to the basic module to add the connectivity. The relatively low cost of the WiFi module has allowed to show that it is possible to develop low cost connected objects and free them from a central gateway that is found very often in this type of projects. A web application was develop to control remotely the electronic board via the Internet. The database behind the web application allows the thermostat and users to easily exchange data. To reduce the power consumption, the micro-controller and WiFi ...
