1. Connect your MicroPython-enabled ESP8266 to a Wi-Fi network and configure it forWebREPL. You can do it by accessing the console via the serial port and executing the following commands:

   >>>fromnetworkimportWLAN>>>STA=WLAN(0);STA.active(1)>>>STA.connect('__SSID__','__PASSWORD__')>>>STA.ifconfig()# Outputs the network configuration. If it is not valid, wait and re-execute

2. Download theMQTT library and upload it to your ESP8266 with the namemqtt.py using theWebREPL.

3. Clone this repository or downloadcloud4rpi.py and themain.py files.

4. Log into your Cloud4RPi account orcreate a new one.

5. Copyyour device'sDevice Token.

6. Edit themain.py file. Enter your Wi-Fi network data and paste theDevice Token into the required variables.

7. Connect the LED to GPIO12 and a button to GPIO16. If you need to use other pins, change the corresponding variables inmain.py.

   

8. Transfer thecloud4rpi.py and editedmain.py files to your ESP8266.

9. Reset the ESP8266. You can use the console for this:

   >>>importmachine>>>machine.reset()

10. Check that thedevice goes online and starts sending data.

11. Go to theControl Panels page and add a new control panel.

12. Add twoSwitch widgets and bind them to theLED variable.

13. Add a newText widget and bind it to theButton variable. Configure different colors for the "true" and "false" strings.

You can use this control panel to control the LED and see when the button is pressed.
