Arduino to pubnub cloud using esp8266

Question

I am interfacing my Arduino to the PubNub cloud using my ESP8266. So, I just really need a little suggestion on the best possible solution to push data from the Arduino Kit to the cloud and get it back on my devices.

Answer 1

With the ESP8266, it always better to go with custom firmware as the ESP8266 has its own I/O with no need for even controllers in many projects. Check this short tutorial out on how to use PubNub with the ESP8266. Also, notice that this uses custom firmware and not the standard Arduino Kit. This link here says that you can now use regular Arduino Kits directly, which means you should be able to use the standard Arduino API for PubNub as well.
