ESP8266(Arduino) interface with Firebase:

  

Aim:

 Make such application in which LED can be control from mobile or website from any remote location where internet connectivity is available.

Requirement:

1 ) ESP8266-E12 WiFi module as shown in picture. You can get start and setup it with help of this post.

2) Download and install firebase-arduino-master  library in Arduino IDE.

3) Need gmail account for create Firebase project.

Step 1:

Go to https://console.firebase.google.com and create new project.

Step 2:

Click on Database now you will see the host name show in image

 

Copy that host name and past in Arduino code given below at line

 #define FIREBASE_HOST "fir-app-example.firebaseio.com"

Step 3:

Go to Setting>Project Setting>SERVICE ACCOUNTS>DATABASE Secretes.

Copy "Database Secrets" Shown in below image

 

Copy and paste Database Secrets at the line in code 

#define FIREBASE_AUTH "examplesd2asdasdasdasd2asd3asd2asd2as32das3d2as2da3" 

Step 6 :

Change line with your WiFi router name and password
#define WIFI_SSID "Wifi Router Name"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "Router Password"

Step 5:

Download following code in arduino

#include
#include

// Set these to run example.
#define FIREBASE_HOST "fir-app-example.firebaseio.com"
#define FIREBASE_AUTH "examplesd2asdasdasdasd2asd3asd2asd2as32das3d2as2da3"
#define WIFI_SSID "Wifi Router Name"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "Router Password"

#define LED 2

void setup() {

  pinMode(LED,OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(LED,0);
 
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD);
  Serial.print("connecting");
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(500);
  }
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("connected: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
 
  Firebase.begin(FIREBASE_HOST, FIREBASE_AUTH);

  Firebase.setInt("LEDStatus",0);
}

void loop() {
  if(Firebase.getInt("LEDStatus"))
  { 
    digitalWrite(LED,HIGH);
  }
  else
  {
    digitalWrite(LED,LOW);
  }
  if (Firebase.failed())  // Check for errors

 {
      Serial.print("setting /number failed:");
      Serial.println(Firebase.error()); 
      return;
  } 
  delay(1000);
}

Step 6:

After reseting ESP8266check serial terminal whether the ESP is get connected with your router and got IP adress.

Goto https://console.firebase.google.com/project/fir-app-9adb8/database/data 

you can now see the new variable created in database. 

 

Step 7:  

Double click "LEDStatus" and edit it to 1. instantly (its depends on your internet connection) LED on ESP 8266 module get Turn off.

 

Step 8: 

If you have knowledge of Android you can create App for control LED from mobile. You need to read Firebase documentation and integration methods.

I created my android app for controlling LED from mobile. As Firebase can be assess from world wide so you have end to end IoT application.
