Hi ! I have a project that water the plants with a water pump, a moisture sensor, a relay and the moisture is showed on a LCD Shield(1602). I want to add a WiFi shield to show the moisture and water the plants from the Arduino Cloud, too. I found the Esp8266 T77 Esp-12E shield and I wonder if it works with the Arduino Cloud.
Thanks and have a great day !

When you say "shield"... what Arduino are you using?
The ESP8266 12E can be used by itself and is compatible with IoT Cloud.
I use the Arduino Uno
looks like full board and not a shield. dunno about esp8266 but esp32 works with arduino cloud
I'll send you the link, it's a shield
It's like this one :https://www.instructables.com/ESP8266-ESP-12E-UART-Wireless-WIFI-Shield-TTL-Conv/?amp_page=true
ah yeah this one looks like a shield. my advice, drop the uno+shield and get esp32, less headache and cheaper option
True, I thot at that too, but at locals the shield is cheaper(the shield- 8€, the Esp32 - 13€), some wires are soldered to the Uno, and I want to have like a toogle swtich to switch between watering from the cloud when I press a button and watering with the moisture sensor.
