We all love Microcontrollers and Smartphones. Unfortunately, they do not work well together because not everybody can create Smartphone apps and connect them via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to an ESP32. Arduinos are even more complicated because they do not offer communication. This is why I like the project I will show you today: Its name is RemoteXY. Of course, it uses the Arduino IDE!

An Excellent presentation, as always! I am using a very similar product called GUI-O, which appears at first glance to work in a similar way. My project involves collecting data from ground-based magnetometers and GNSS devices to capture Ionospheric disturbances and shifts in total electron content (TEC) due to solar emissions. Using this product allows me to configure and collect data from my instruments either locally or using MQTT communications relayed by a simple broker running on my own Virtual Private Server (VPS - Akamai/Linode) running in the cloud. The pricing model is slightly different but modest. It requires very little in the way of development/startup cost. This approach allows me to expand the user base at little more than $10/user (paid by the user) and allows almost unlimited expansion.

I love ESP32 RemoteXY projects. One project was to make a remote loadcell calibration test meter located in a hazard room. Then display the 0 to 25,000lbs readings on a smart-phone at the operator station to compare the HMI touch-screen readings for accuracy. Omega DPS20-HV-RTU 6 digit panel meter with Modbus RTU output was used. The esp32 read the Modbus values and transmitted the Bluetooth results to the free RemoteXY smart-phone app. It worked very well. The project price was much cheaper than other professional wireless systems. After working it seemed simple with a learning curve. 😎 Thank you so much for this very interesting video.

I have used RemoteXY for a couple of projects with excellent results. I use one ESP32 Dev board with onboard relays to interface with the 3 button door opener on my large farm shop door. It can also toggle the lights. The second project is to use another ESP32 with a separate relay board to interface with two 3 button door openers on another farm building. Both have external antennas for greater range. Each is setup as a Soft Access Point so internet is not needed.. The doors/lights can be controlled by my iPhone, iPad or Android tablet.

In public education it is always a great advantage to be able to use an app without any incentive to buy additional features, especially since the students in my case are minors.

A great and inspiring video of a great tool. Thanks to this video I have found new intrest in ESP and related. I even bought the PRO version (about €15 and done) just to support the project. I've had, since I saw your video, a lot of fun testing and dreaming about possible applications. BUT Do you, or anyone for that matter, happen to know if RemoteXY is still maintained and still will exist in the future? The community is not that thriving as I had hoped.

i will never use this because of the payment. if the app itselve didnt have an subscription,but instat offer an one time buy i would use this... but for now i stick to the simple webserver on the esp32 that provides also an good option and works witout any app... i just use an ip or name in the browser.

Wow, that is just *crazy* easy! (Maybe even easy enough for me) I have an ancient iPhone in a box somewhere in my Lab: I wonder if the app will run on whatever the latest version of iOS is that that old phone will support? I also have two equally-ancient Android mini-tablets, same question for them. (Android updates are so finicky though, I suspect those old tablets won’t even connect to the Play store anymore :-/) Thanks so much for this vid, it’s one of the most inspiring to date, because it seems like I can finally connect my phone to my little projects. Thanks again!

There is other platform that offers same capabilities but supports much more platforms - Blynk. One of it's authors is my friend, he lived in Irpin (near Bucha), and now his house is destroyed by russians. So if you decide to use Blynk, you will help him in rebuilding his destroyed home.

Thanks for the great intro to RemoteXY. It looks like if you use WiFi that the MCU has to host it's own WiFi network that you then have to connect to with your smart phone. Is there a way for this to work if the MCU and your smart phone are both connected to your existing local WiFi network?

Interesting and educational, as always. It's probably me being thick (no change there) but how is the compass related to RemoteXY. I understand the operation of the button and temperature sensor, but surely you would just use gps test plus if you wanted a compass.

The compass is a Smartphone sensor that can be used by your ESP sketch.

WiFi and BLE on one ESP are not easy. I would expect problems (and probably would go the WiFi way in your case)

@dans-designs Жыл бұрын

@@AndreasSpiess thanks for the recommendation.. after a few day of searching it seems the esp32 doesnt like having wifi and ble on at the same time. I have found a method of using one at a time by turning the other one off first.. this kind of works but i was hoping to use a text field entry on the RemoteXY app to store the wifi credentials on the ESP32 in variables and then switch to wifi but the variables are not getting the right info for the credentials..

Hallo Andreas, dieser Ansatz mit RemoteXY fand ich höchst interessant. Mich würde interessieren, ob es mit RemoteXY möglich ist, einen ESP8266 in das lokale WLAN einzubinden. Hast Du diese Variante auch schon mal ausprobiert? - Ansonsten vielen Dank für die vielen lehrreichen und fundierten Videos!

Interesting video, as always, thank you. I suppose the core of the library/app combination is really pretty simple and allows you to really quickly put something together in ways that would be very difficult if you weren't already into NodeRed or, as many of us are, thanks to your long line of videos, producing acceptable JS http pages from the ESP. I think you are right that it would be great for education, as proof of principle can be built really easily with the teaching emphasis being on the code logic and not all bound up in why the UI elements don't quite work. A really good idea. A long time ago now I used the MIT AppInventor to build two Android apps to control my central heating (ESP8266) and an array of 433.92MHz wireless mains switches, also ESP 'hubbed'. That handled the http aspects for me (at the phone end) with the ESP hosting a simple endpoint and that gave me the simple UI I wanted. It must be what, 5-7 years ago now and I wonder how much the AppInventor has grown since.

@AndreasSpiess Жыл бұрын

Others also compared it with App Inventor. I think they has somehow similar goals. This one is probably better integrated into the Arduino IDE.

@iantill Жыл бұрын

@Andreas Spiess I agree completely, AppInventor doesn't have any linkage whatsoever to Arduino, the delta between them is that integration, which looks very simple in the app you demonstrated.

Hi, thanks for the interesting video. Did you have a look to Virtuino? I use it for some years now to connect Arduinos or ESPxx to the Android smartphone.
