Switches
Turn lights, relays and appliances on or off, and send up to three extra values with each command.
- Lights and sockets
- Garage doors and pumps
- RGB lamps
IoT cloud for makers
Connect, control and monitor your devices from anywhere
iotBind turns your ESP32, ESP8266 and Arduino projects into smart devices. Send readings with one HTTP request or MQTT message, then control everything from one dashboard and your phone.
- Free plan, no credit card
- HTTP and MQTT APIs
- Web, mobile and desktop apps
Works with the boards you already use
- ESP32
- ESP8266
- NodeMCU
- Arduino
- Raspberry Pi
- Wemos D1
- STM32
- MQTT
How it works
From breadboard to dashboard in three steps
No servers to run, no app to build. Focus on your hardware, we take care of the cloud.
-
1
Build your device
Wire your sensors, relays or GPS module to any board that can reach the internet.
-
2
Bind it to the cloud
Add the device in your account and copy its secret key into your sketch.
-
3
Control it anywhere
Watch live values, charts and alerts, and send commands from the web or the app.
Device types
Ready-made types for real projects
Each type comes with the right screens, history and commands, so your project is useful from the first reading.
Sensors
Send up to three readings per device and follow them on live charts with full history.
- Temperature and humidity
- Motion and doors
- Air quality and gas
Liquid tanks
Track level and temperature, and switch the pump from the same device screen.
- Water tanks
- Fuel and oil
- Pool and irrigation
GPS tracking
Send coordinates and extra data, and follow routes and positions on the map.
- Cars and fleets
- Bikes and assets
- People and pets
Platform
Everything around your devices
Automation, security, notifications and apps that work together.
One dashboard
Projects, rooms and favourites to organise every device.
Mobile and desktop apps
Android, iPhone, Windows, macOS and Linux.
Timers
Schedules that switch devices for you.
Groups and scenes
Several devices with a single tap.
Alarm system
Arm your sensors and protect home or office.
Telegram bot
Alerts and device control inside Telegram.
Webhooks
Signed events posted to your own server.
Charts and history
Analyse readings over days or months.
For developers
One request is all it takes
A simple, documented API that runs on the smallest boards. Use HTTP or HTTPS, GET or POST, or MQTT.
- Secret key per device, regenerate it at any time
- JSON replies that are easy to parse on a microcontroller
- Ready examples for Arduino and ESP boards
# Send two sensor readings
GET http://api.iotbind.com/v1/sensor.php?method=get&key=DEVICE_KEY&uid=UNIQUE_ID&data1=23.4&data2=41
# Reply
{ "MESSAGE": "UPDATED" }#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>
const char* API = "http://api.iotbind.com/v1/sensor.php?method=get&key=DEVICE_KEY&uid=UNIQUE_ID";
void sendReading(float temperature) {
WiFiClient client;
HTTPClient http;
http.begin(client, String(API) + "&data1=" + String(temperature, 1));
int code = http.GET(); // 200 {"MESSAGE":"UPDATED"}
http.end();

FAQ
Questions makers ask us
Any device that can send an HTTP request or an MQTT message: ESP32, ESP8266/NodeMCU, Arduino with a network shield, Raspberry Pi, or even a script on your computer.
Yes. The free plan has no time limit and needs no credit card. Paid plans add more devices, longer history and advanced features.
Basic Arduino knowledge is enough. You copy a ready example, paste your device key and upload it to your board.
Yes, with the iotBind apps for Android and iPhone, the desktop apps, the web dashboard or the Telegram bot.
Each device uses its own secret key, connections can use HTTPS, and requests are rate-limited. Your data is never sold.
Yes. The Business plan supports large numbers of devices and requests. Contact us if you need something specific.
