1.1 Tutorial Overview

In this tutorial, you'll be doing the following:

• Setting up your environment on Azure using the Microsoft Azure IoT Suite Remote Monitoring preconfgiured solution, getting a large portion of the set-up that would be required done in one step.
• Setting your device and sensors up so that it can communicate with both your computer, and Azure IoT.
• Updating the device code sample to include our connection data and send it to Azure IoT to be viewed remotely.

1.2 Before Starting

1.2.1 Required Software

• Arduino IDE, version 1.6.8. from www.arduino.cc (Earlier versions will not work with the AzureIoT library)
• Sensor interface library from Adafruit: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_BME280_Library/archive/master.zip

1.2.2 Required Hardware

• Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi kit
  • A microB USB cable
  • A desktop or laptop computer which can run Arduino IDE 1.6.8

1.3 Create a New Azure IoT Suite Remote Monitoring solution and Add Device

• Log in to Azure IoT Suite with your Microsoft account and click Create a New Preconfigured Solution

Note: For first time users, click here to get your Azure free trial which gives you 200USD of credit to get started.

• Click select in the Remote Monitoring option
• Type in a solution name. For this tutorial we’ll be using “FeatherM0Suite” (You will have to name it something else. Make it unique. I.E. "ContosoSample")

Note: Make sure to copy down the names and connection strings mentioned into a text document for reference later.

• Choose your subscription and desired region to deploy, then click Create Solution
• Wait for Azure to finish provisioning your IoT suite (this process may take up to 10 minutes), and then click Launch

Note: You may be asked to log back in. This is to ensure your solution has proper permissions associated with your account.

• Open the link to your IoT Suite’s “Solution Dashboard.” You may have been redirected there already.
• This opens your personal remote monitoring site at the URL <Your Azure IoT Hub suite name>.azurewebsites.net (e.g. FeatherM0Suite.azurewebsites.net)
• Click Add a Device at the lower left hand corner of your screen
• Add a new custom device
• Enter your desired device ID. In this case we’ll use “FeatherM0_w_BME280”, and then click Check ID
• If Device ID is available, go ahead and click Create
• Make note of your device ID, Device Key, and IoT Hub Hostname to enter into the code you’ll run on your device later.

Warning: The Remote Monitoring solution provisions a set of Azure IoT Services in your Azure account. It is meant to reflect a real enterprise architecture and thus its Azure consumption is quite heavy. To avoid unnecessary Azure consumption, we recommend you delete the preconfigured solution in azureiotsuite.com once you are done with your work (since it is easy to recreate). Alternatively, if you want to keep it up and running you can do two things to reduce consumption:

1. Visit this guide to run the solution in demo mode and reduce the Azure consumption.

2. Disable the simulated devices created with the solution (Go to Devices>>Select the device>> on the device details menu on the right, clich on Disable Device. Repeat with all the simulated devices).

3. Stop your remote monitoring solution while you are working on the next steps. (See: Troubleshooting)

• For additional reference, refer to the following:
• https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/iot-suite-remote-monitoring-sample-walkthrough/
• https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/iot-suite-connecting-devices/

1.4 Connect the BME280 Sensor Module to your Device

• Using this image as a reference, connect your BME280 and Feather M0 WiFi to the breadboard
• All connections are on the board, not on the device

Note: Column on the left corresponds to the sensor and on the right to the board. On the image, the board is place between 10 and 30, with the RST pin connected to row 29, and sensor between 1 and 9, with the CS pin connected to the row 1. With this layout, you are able to connect wires next to the corresponding pins on the breadboard. Additionally, when counting the - and + pins, start from the right and count in, as these do not align with the numbers indicated on the board.

• For more information regarding the sensor, see: Adafruit BME280 sensor setup

At the end of your work, your Feather M0 WiFi should be connected to the sensor. We'll test it in the next sections.

1.5 Add the Feather M0 WiFi to the Arduino IDE

You will need to install the Feather M0 WiFi board extension for the Arduino IDE. This takes two steps:

1. Follow the instructions here. There you will see how to add a URL pointing to Adafruit's repository of board extensions.

2. Then continue with Using Arduino IDE, and see how to make the Feather M0 WiFi board selectable under the Tools menu, and how to get the Blink sketch to run.

• If you have issues uploading to the Feather M0, click the RST button twice (double-click) to get back into the bootloader.

1.6 Install Library Dependencies

For this project, we'll need to install the following libraries using the Arduino IDE:

• Adafruit BME280
• Adafruit Unified Sensor
• RTCZero
• AzureIoTHub
• AzureIoTUtility
• AzureIoTProtocol_HTTP
• WiFi101

To install them, click on the Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries. Search for each library using the box in the upper-right to filter your search, click on the found library, and click the "Install" button.

Note: Starting on version 1.0.17, AzureIoTHub required the AzureIoTUtility and one of the available protocols. These samples use the AzureIoTProtocol_HTTP, but it is prepared to work with AzureIoTProtocol_MQTT too.

Note: Arduino version 1.8.3 with WiFi101 does not support SSL connections on ports other than 443, so the MQTT protocol fails to connect. After this issue has been fixed MQTT support will be available again.

Note: If you have an earlier version of the IoT library, navigate to your Arduino documents directory. Inside the "Libraries" folder, there will be a number of installed libraries. Simply delete the AzureIoT folder.

1.7 Modify the Remote Monitoring sample

• Unzip the example code, and double-click the file remote_monitoring.ino to open the project in the Arduino IDE.
• You will be prompted to create a folder. Do this, and move the other files in the folder into the newly created child folder
• In the project, edit the iot_configs.h, look for the following lines of code:

#define IOT_CONFIG_WIFI_SSID            "<Your WiFi network SSID or name>"
#define IOT_CONFIG_WIFI_PASSWORD        "<Your WiFi network WPA password or WEP key>"

• Replace the placeholders with your WiFi name (SSID), WiFi password, and the device connection string you created at the beginning of this tutorial. 
• Look for the following line of code and replace the placeholders connection information (this is the Device information that you obtained in the Remote Monitoring console):

#define IOT_CONFIG_CONNECTION_STRING    "HostName=<host_name>.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=<device_id>;SharedAccessKey=<device_key>"

• Save with Control-s

1.8 Build Your Remote Monitoring Sample

• Double-click the reset button (located by the USB input) on the Feather M0 WiFi to put it in boot-loader mode. The red LED will fade in and out to show bootload mode.
• On windows, the COM port will disconnect, and a new one will appear. Use Tools -> Port -> COM to re-select it.
• Build and upload the code using Sketch ->  Upload.

Note: As of 1.6.8, the Arduino IDE doesn't properly show "Upload Completed", even when it succeeds.

• There should now be a green LED on your Feather M0 WiFi. Re-select the COM port if necessary, and then open the Serial Monitor. After 15 seconds you should see a measurements update.

Note: When first starting you will likely see a “Fetching NTP epoch time failed” error – This is normal, and it trying to sync with Azure. This can take even up to 30 seconds to find a NTP server to sync with. One it is synced, it should start transmitting from there.

1.9 View the Sensor Data from the Remote Monitoring Portal

• Once you have the sample running, visit your dashboard by visiting azureiotsuite.com and clicking “Launch” on your solution
• Make sure the “Device to View” in the upper right is set to your device
• If the demo is running, you should see the graph change as your data updates in real time!

Note: Make sure you delete or stop your remote monitoring solution once you have completed this to avoid unnecessary Azure consumption! (See: Troubleshooting)

2.1 Tutorial Overview

This tutorial has the following steps:

• Provision an IoT Hub instance on Microsoft Azure and adding your device.
• Prepare the device, get connected to the device, and set it up so that it can read sensor data.
• Configure your Microsoft Azure IoT services by adding Event Hub, Storage Account, and Stream Analytics resources.
• Prepare your local web solution for monitoring and sending commands to your device.
• Update the sample code to respond to commands and include the data from our sensors, sending it to Microsoft Azure to be viewed remotely.

Here is a breakdown of the data flow:

• The application running on the Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi will get temperature data from the temperature sensor and it will send them to the IoT Hub
• A Stream Analytics job will read the data from IoT Hub and write them to an Azure Storage Table. Also, if an anomaly is detected, then this job will write data to an Event Hub
• The Node.js application that is running on your computers will read the data from the Azure Storage Table and the Event Hub and will present them to the user

The end result will be a functional command center where you can view the history of your device's sensor data, a history of alerts, and send commands back to the device.

2.2 Before Starting

2.2.1 Required Software

• Git - For cloning the required repositories
• Node.js - For the Node application, we will go over this later.
• Arduino IDE, version 1.6.8. (Earlier versions will not work with the Azure IoT library)

• Visit the url in your browser and you will see the Node app running!

To deploy this project to the cloud using Azure, you can reference Creating a Node.js web app in Azure App Service.

Next, we will update your device so that it can interact with all the things you just created.

2.9 Add the Feather M0 WiFi to the Arduino IDE

You will need to install the Feather M0 WiFi board extension for the Arduino IDE. This takes two steps:

1. Follow the instructions here. There you will see how to add a URL pointing to Adafruit's repository of board extensions.

2. Then continue with Using Arduino IDE, and see how to make the Feather M0 WiFi board selectable under the Tools menu, and how to get the Blink sketch to run.

2.10 Install Library Dependencies

For this project, we'll need to install the following libraries using the Arduino IDE:

• Adafruit BME280

• AzureIoTUtility
• AzureIoTProtocol_MQTT

To install them, click on the Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries. Search for each library using the box in the upper-right to filter your search, click on the found library, and click the "Install" button.

We'll also need to manually install the following libraries:

• Adafruit WINC1500 (download it from here)
• Adafuit Sensor Master (download it from here)

Instructions for manually installing a library can be found here.

Note: If you have an earlier version of the IoT library, navigate to your Arduino documents directory. Inside the "Libraries" folder, there will be a number of installed libraries. Simply delete the AzureIoT folder.

2.11 Modify the Command Center sample

• Unzip the example code, and double-click the file command_center.ino to open the project in the Arduino IDE.
• You will be prompted to creat a folder. Do this, and move the other files in the folder into the newly created child folder
• Look for the following lines of code:

static const char ssid[] = "[Your WiFi network SSID or name]";
static const char pass[] = "[Your WiFi network WPA password or WEP key]";
static const char* connectionString = "[Device Connection String]";

• Replace the placeholders with your WiFi name (SSID), WiFi password, and the device connection string you created at the beginning of this tutorial. 

• Save with Control-s

• In the same project, click on the rem_ctrl.c tab to see that file.

• Look for the following lines of code:

• Replace the placeholders with your Device ID you created at the beginning of this tutorial. 
• Save with Control-s

2.12 Build Your Command Center Sample

• Double-click the reset button on the Feather M0 WiFi to put it in boot-loader mode. The red LED will fade in and out to show bootload mode.
• On Windows, the COM port will disconnect, and a new one will appear. Use Tools -> Port -> COM to re-select it.
• Build and upload the code using Sketch ->  Upload.

Note: As of 1.6.8, the Arduino IDE doesn't properly show "Upload Completed", even when it succeeds.

• There should now be a green LED on your Feather M0 WiFi. Re-select the COM port if necessary, and then open the Serial Monitor. After 15 seconds you should see a measurements update.
• Data is now being sent off at regular intervals to Microsoft Azure. When it detects something out of range, you will see the LED you’ve set up turn from green to red!
• You can click the green button (labeled "Turn on") and the red button (labeled "Turn off") in the application to toggle the green and red LEDs in your kit.

Head back to your Node application and you will have a fully functional command center, complete with a history of sensor data, alerts that display when the temperature got outside a certain range, and commands that you can send to your device remotely.

Note: Make sure to stop your Command Center jobs once you have when you finish to avoid unnecessary Azure consumption! (See: Troubleshooting)
