Data stream to favoriot using ESP 8266 rev 2.0

[dimasze]

Hi,

I have arduino uno board combine with ESP wifi shield rev 2.0
I have a problem to do data stream from the arduino sensor to Favoriot.

I try to use the code from favoriot tutorial: https://platform.favoriot.com/tutorial/?java#arduino

However, I realize that the code for WiFi is using common Wifi library which is not working with the ESP.

Then, I try to learn from example HTTPS client. However, I can only connect to api.github.com server.

Anybody can help? This is the example code of HTTPS client

/*
* HTTP over TLS (HTTPS) example sketch
*
* This example demonstrates how to use
* secure_connect function to access HTTPS API.
* We fetch and display the status of
* esp8266/Arduino project continuous integration
* build.
*
* Created by Ivan Grokhotkov, 2015.
* This example is in public domain.

const char* ssid = "~~~~~";
const char* pass = "~~~~~~~";

const char* host = "api.favoriot.com";
const int httpsPort = 231;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}
if(!wifi.begin(2, 3))
Serial.println(F("Error talking to shield"));
Serial.println(F("Start wifi connection"));
if(!wifi.connectAP(ssid, pass))
Serial.println(F("Error connecting to WiFi"));

ESP8266Client client;

Serial.println(host);

client.stop();

Hi,

For your case, you can use http only to communicate with favoriot.

...
const char* host = "api.favoriot.com"; <-- http setup
const int httpPort = 80;
...
...
if (!client.connect(host, httpsPort)){ <-- change secure_connect to connect
...

Thanks.

Note: Is favoriot httpsPort value 231? http or httpsPort cannot be random number, you will need to find from document. With correct ports only you can connect to server.

Hi,

For those who are using Favoriot platform with Cytron WiFi Shield, here are couple of examples and references you can look at.
