Abstract
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) concept has been largely integrated into heterogeneous systems and it has recently become more relevant to practical implementations because of the growth of ubiquitous communication and remote data access techniques. This paper presents an IoT system that basically gathers weather-related data information from a forecast API (Application Programming Interface) for a specific configurable location and displays them on TFT touch screen. The implemented system uses a low-cost ESP32 microcontroller and exploits its integrated Wi-Fi to achieve transmitting and receiving communications. Moreover, we develop an embedded web server on ESP32 using SPIFFS (Serial Peripheral Interface Flash File System) to monitor and control power consumption mode over a local network and a secured internet connection via a laptop, cellphone, or tablet. These functionalities are implemented by using FreeRTOS that provides multitasking support for the ESP32 dual-core microcontroller.
