Connect, observe and control

IoT & Wireless Lab Pro

Learn wired and wireless protocols safely, then test telemetry, commands, charts and device presence in a local browser simulator.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi Provisioning and Recovery

Provision an ESP-class device without hard-coding production credentials, then test reconnect and reset behaviour.

Open lab →Bluetooth / BLE

Bluetooth Classic and BLE GATT

Compare Bluetooth serial-style links with BLE services, characteristics, notifications and low-power behaviour.

Open lab →MQTT

MQTT Publish, Subscribe and QoS

Model topics, retained state, QoS and Last Will using a lab broker or the local simulator.

Open lab →HTTP / REST

HTTP, HTTPS and REST API

Send structured sensor data and handle status codes, timeouts, authentication and retries.

Open lab →WebSocket

WebSocket Live Device Channel

Maintain a bidirectional channel for low-latency dashboards and commands.

Open lab →ESP-NOW

ESP-NOW Peer Telemetry

Exchange short peer-to-peer frames between ESP boards without a Wi-Fi access point.

Open lab →LoRa / LoRaWAN

LoRa and LoRaWAN Field Node

Compare raw LoRa packets with LoRaWAN device activation, uplinks and duty-cycle constraints.

Open lab →GSM / 4G

GSM / 4G Telemetry Link

Bring up a cellular modem, verify registration and send minimal telemetry with robust power handling.

Open lab →GPS

GPS / GNSS Position Lab

Parse GNSS data, evaluate fix quality and protect precise location information.

Open lab →RFID / NFC

RFID and NFC Access Prototype

Read tag identifiers and design a safer allowlisted access prototype without treating UID as a secret.

Open lab →Modbus

Modbus RTU and TCP Register Lab

Read/write safe test registers and compare serial RTU framing with TCP transport.

Open lab →CAN bus

CAN Bus Frames and Diagnostics

Transmit and observe safe standard CAN frames on an isolated two-node bench.

Open lab →Node-RED

Node-RED Local Flow Dashboard

Build a local flow that validates simulated telemetry and displays it without exposing the editor publicly.

Open lab →Home Assistant

Home Assistant MQTT Discovery

Create a test sensor/entity through MQTT discovery and verify availability handling.

Open lab →Dashboard

Local IoT Dashboard and Live Charts

Create a privacy-friendly local dashboard with live values, bounded history and online/offline state.
