ESP8266 NodeMCU WiFi IoT Garage Door Opener Relay with Cayenne. Anyone else been using the Cayenne IoT platform?
I added Temperature, Humidity and Light Sensors.
I think the “Wifi Garage Door Opener” is a good project to test out these different IoT platforms such as Blynk, Cayenne, Thinger.io, etc.

This (Cayenne) looks interesting. And even better, looks like MQTT support is just around the corner 
i’ve tried cayenne a while ago and it worked right out of the box (but that was on the RPi i think). I tested also blynk, also fine.
I like aRest a lot but only if you pay for a supscription or buy the book you can work confortable.
Cayenne only works with raspberry pi and arduino with Ethernet shield.
@J_Shepin it works with ESP8266 with Arduino IDE, like in my example above.
yes, esp8266 works with the arduino IDE, but the service that cayyene offers is only for a few arduino boards, and your esp8266 node mcu is just not a supported board by the service to remotly control the board.
I’m just not keen on IoT platforms that store everything in the cloud…
Yes now I see. Cayenne for arduino based things is a little bit hit or miss. But they have been updating their apps and software. I am still waiting for some more software updates until it is fully developed and ready to use. I was also just curious at some other services similar to cayeen that would work well with esp.
Use Cayenne (or another cloud IoT platform) for remote access and mqtt for local access.
