I am about to leverage this new IOT Cloud feature but I have a questions about sharing or integrating the dashboard elsewhere.
Essentially I want to be able to install a few sensors in my art installations - temperature, etc - and then embed those in a webpage that has a password (like on Squarespace).
Is there anyway to embed any or all of the dashboard in a webpage like you would a YouTube video?
embedding controls is not possible at this moment, neither is the page without exposing the login fields at least at the beginning.
One thing that is possible is to use the IoT Cloud JS API to make custom controls, but we don't have examples for that use case.
Using the APIs you can really read and write all the properties of a Thing
So, to clarify, it looks like this is not a possibility at the moment?
Do you know of any services that do this?
I love being able to use the Arduino ecosystem to make low-cost sensors. But I need to get that data out of this walled garden regardless of how beautiful it is currently.
So, to clarify, it looks like this is not a possibility at the moment?
embedding the controls is not possible and we do not currently provide public dashboards
On the other hand, our API is very well documented and you can use CURL, JavaScript or Python to set and get properties for things.
In theory you could use any JavaScript GUI control framework (you're going to have to search there, since JS is not my thing) and send commands to the API.
Having such an API makes our platform everything but a walled garden.
You can literally create devices, things and properties as well as setting their values by just using the API.
Please take a look at it https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/iot/api/
