It's now time to see how to control our door lock from the cloud. Again, we'll use the dashboard feature of aREST to rapidly build a cloud dashboard for our project:
- Simply go to:
- After creating an account, you'll be able to create your first dashboard:
- Once it's been created, simply click on the name of the new dashboard:
- From there, you'll be able to create a new element. As we simply want on/off buttons here, configure your dashboard with the following settings: name the element
Lock, enter the device ID of the project, and select the correct digital pin (5). This is all indicated in this screenshot:
- Of course, make sure to replace the device ID with the one from your own device. Once that's done, you should see your new control inside the dashboard:
You can now finally try the project; simply click on the On button and the lock should immediately be activated. You can now lock or unlock a door from anywhere in the world! Just make sure that you are not clicking on different buttons too quickly; unlike an LED, for example, the door lock takes some time (one or two seconds) to respond.
