Chapter 8. Monitoring and Controlling Your Devices from a Smart Phone
In previous chapters, we have seen projects that are being controlled from web interfaces. Now in this chapter, we will see how to control your Arduino and Raspberry Pi from a native application in Android, using platforms in order to create apps to control and monitor.
In this chapter, we will see different projects and applications using Android tools, the topics that will be covered are as follows:
Controlling a relay from a smart phone using APP Inventor
Reading JSON response in Android Studio using Ethernet shield
Controlling a DC motor from an Android application
Controlling outputs from Android using your Raspberry Pi Zero
Controlling outputs with Raspberry Pi via Bluetooth
Controlling a relay from a smart phone using APP Inventor
In this section, we will see how to create an Android application using APP Inventor to control a relay connected to the Arduino board.
