Hello Mark, You are right you need to be connected to the same network. I made a raspberry pi based Iot project that you can control from anywhere in the world. Kindly, check it out

I followed ur instructions and it worked. but it only works if im connected to one specific wifi-network. you said i could connect from anywhere in the world, how would i do this?
Greetings Mark

Yeah, it’s normal. it refreshes the page every specific amount of time.

You can download it from the library manager inside the Arduino IDE program

Where I can find file (which is used in this tutorial) ”SoftwareSerial.h” ?
Thank you in advance.

It seems that once the ction is completed, the connection between the website and the esp is closed but then it reconnects. Is it normal? Thanks for your response.

Thank you Jakub, I really appreciate that.

1- you can run your ESP-01 module using the Arduino board built-in 3.3v pin. In this case, you will not need a separate power source like we are using in this tutorial. But if you want to power the ESP-01 module from an external power source (which is recommended) in this case, yeah you will need an external 3.3v power supply without a logic level converter.

2- Actually, I’m working on that 😀 in the upcoming days, I will publish a new IoT project talking about this point. Stay tuned!

1. If my Arduino runs on 5V and the ESP8366-01 on 3.3V does that mean I have to use a separate power supply and a logic level converter?

2. Will you be making a tutorial at some point for a webpage where you can see displayed data sent by WiFi from Arduino sensors? That would be extremely useful. Thank you in advance.
