Particle Photon RGB Remote Control (Local/Cloud/Online/SoftAP)

This is a demonstrator web application. It shows how to control the Particle RGB led over the Cloud and over a Local network See the video on YouTube..

More information about the creation and development process in the articles on my website:

Particle Photon RGB Cloud Remote Control

Particle Photon RGB Local Remote Control

The code is well-documented so I hope it's a nice starting point to create some nice remote stuff.

I don't consider the used Webduino library stable enough. It doesn't support multiple clients. Problably Particle will implement an HTTP server in one of the upcoming releases (hopefully 0.8.0)

Quick Start Local Remote

1. Upload this build.particle.io RGB_LOCAL_REMOTE project on your Photon.
2. Go to http://myphoton.local or http:/// the '.local' might not work on Windows systems, because they don't support mDNS by default (installing iTunes can help).
3. Play around with the sliders to control the color of the RGB indicator led on the Photon.

Quick Start Cloud Remote

1. Upload this build.particle.io RGB_CLOUD_REMOTE project on your Photon.
2. Download the code in "web_code/RGB CloudRemote" to your own computer.
3. Modify the index.js code and add your own deviceId and accessToken to the code.
   • You can find the deviceId in Particle build under Devices.
   • You can find your accessToken in Particle build under Settings.
4. Open the index.html file on your local system.
5. Play around with the sliders to control the color of the RGB indicator led on the Photon.

SoftAP Remote

Upload the code to your Particle with an offline tool (https://po-util.com). You can control the RGB led directly by connecting to the PHOTON access-point. By opening http://192.168.0.1/index.htm in your browser.

Have fun!

Quick Start Cloud Remote Online

See the steps above, you online need to install it on a (local) webserver that supports PHP. deviceID and accessToken are hidden in the php code (api.php), so they won't be visible to the end-user. In this way you can put a remote control publically online, without someone get more access to your device than desirable.

Have fun!
