Things used in this project

Hardware components

Arduino UNO

DIYables USB Cable 2.0 Type A/B for Arduino Uno

PHPoC WiFi Shield for Arduino

we can use PHPoC Shield instead

Story

If you are a beginner, you can learn about wifi and sensor in Arduino - Wifi and Arduino - DS18B20 temperature sensor tutorials

I made a similar project using only PHPoC here.

Demo

Data Flow

Arduino ---> PHPoC WiFi Shield ---> Web browser

Arduino reads temperature from sensor and send the temperature value to PHPoC WiFi Shield. When receiving the temperature value, PHPoC WiFi Shield send it to Web Browser via websocket. JavaScript function visualizes the temperature value on UI.

Note that: PHPoC shield has a built-in program to pass data from Arduino to web browser. Therefore, we don't need to care about it.

What We Need to Do

Set WiFi information for PHPoC shield (SSID and password)
Upload new UI to PHPoC shield
Write Arduino code

Setting WiFi Information for PHPoC Shield

See this instruction.

Upload new Web UI to PHPoC Shield

Download PHPoC source code remote_thermometer.php (on code section).
Upload it to PHPoC shield using PHPoC debugger according to this instruction.

Write Arduino Code

Install three following libraries: PHPoC Library for Arduino , OneWire and Dallas Temperature (see instruction ).
Upload Arduino code (on code section) to Arduino

Testing

Click serial button on Arduino IDE to see the IP address.
Open web browser, type http:// replace_ip_address/remote_thermometer.php
Click connect button and test it.
