Requirements

• It will help if you have some background in electronics and basic programming principles. In addition, this being a hands-on course, you need the following additional components to complete this course.
• Development board - NodeMCU development board and a relay. Note: The integrated development board from WiFiSecureAccess is no more available for purchase. The video lessons in this course use this board. But, you do not need that if you can get NodeMCU development board.
• DHT11 temperature/Humidity sensor
• HC-SR501 motion sensor (3.3V)
• Micro USB cable
• 110/240VAC power cable
• An electrical load such as a Table Lamp or Fan or anything similar for testing
• A breadboard, if you are using nodeMCU development board.

Target audience

• DYI enthusiasts, Entrepreneurs, Engineers, Developers, Professionals, College and school students and anyone with an interest to learn IOT
