How many of you have thought about building your own wireless smart home or IoT solution? There are plenty of manufacturers that offer own wireless controllers: Ajax, Aeotec, Xiaomi, etc. Unfortunately, many of them lock you with their proprietary servers or the price of the controllers is insane.

At the Firebase & IoT codelab, you will have a chance to build your own smart device with ESP8266 Wi-Fi modules and connect it to Firebase to send sensor data, control servo motors, relays, and LEDs.

Our speaker:

Jaroslav Khorishchenko — Full Stack Web Engineer at Smart App Studio Ukraine He specializes in React and Node.js. Jaroslav has come to the word of programming from electronics. He loves to write about his different interesting experiments on his Facebook page.

For whom:

Workshop for all who are interested in IoT and want to gain practical skill-building connected smart devices. To participate in this lab, you will need to bring your own laptop (Win/Mac or Linux) with USB 2.0. ESP8266 modules, breadboard, connectors and all other hardware will be provided.

At the codelab, you will need Atom editor (https://atom.io/) with the platform-ide plugin. Please install it before coming to the event. More details can be found using this link: https://github.com/snipter/firebase-iot-codelab/blob/master/docs/en/01-ide.md
