Configuration of Cayenne Arduino for Home Automation

Cayenne is IoT based dashboard so you need hardware which can be connected to the internet for this purpose you need Arduino WiFi or Ethernet Shield. The important thing is how to configure Cayenne IoT dashboard for Arduino I make this guide step by step to understand easily who not know much about IoT but want to learn.

Step 1

First of all, you need a working internet connection then Create a free account on Cayenne.

Step 2

After completion of creating the account you have to choose Arduino OR Raspberry Pi board, I choose Arduino because in this project we are using Arduino for this project.

Step 3

After this now in step 3 we have to work on Arduino side first thing you need Arduino IDE latest version installed on the computer if you do not have then download it from here and you also need to install Cayenne Library for Arduino . If you don’t know how to install the library on Arduino IDE don’t worry read below.

Step 4

Back to Cayenne Dashboard Select your board and Shield after that, a popup appear with Code for Arduino copy it and upload it to your board with Arduino IDE tool.
