Online Subscription for Domain

Send an email to get an account by paying their fee.

Once you get the user account note down your Relay-Host and Relay-Domain

Install Arduino (if you dont have) from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

After installation Open the Arduino software.

Tools –> Boards –> Board Manager

You can also download the Yaler library files from https://bitbucket.org/yaler/yalercontrib/downloads/YalerESP8266WiFiServer.zip

Once download copy to Arduino Library folder make sure your folder looks like below.

Please dont forget edit below lines in code before uploading with your own parameters

const char* ssid = “wifiname”; // Replace with SSID

const char* password = “Password”; // Replace with Wifi Password

const char* relaydomain = “xxxxxx.yaler.io”; // Replace with relay domain from yaler.net const char* relayhost = “haneef-xxxx-xxxx”; // Replace with relay host from yaler.net

Run and Upload the Code.

Once successfully uploaded if all goes well you can access the Weather station from internet using the link relaydomain.relayhost   which you configured.
