It is imperative that you have to connect to the internet to enable IoT functions on your device and for this one of the most commonly used components we use to connect our project to the internet via HTTP is ESP8266. It can also connect to Wi-Fi and act as a Wi-Fi Hotspot if you want to use that functionality. This D1 Mini ESP8266 NodeMCU Module have 11 digital GPIO pins where apart from D0 all pins are PWM enabled, interrupt supported. One is 3.3V max analog input and power pins to power up the module. It is very easy to use and one of the biggest features is that you can use it with Arduino IDE which allows you to connect with the local network or provide internet access to your project. It is compact, versatile and very reliable and allows you to make your project IoT enabled.
