The ESP8266 based Feather HUZZAH & the HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout are both very popular options for connecting projects to Adafruit IO. This guide assumes you've completed the setup required to get your ESP8266 up and running with Arduino IDE and Adafruit IO.
- If you haven't yet set up your ESP8266 for use with Adafruit IO and the Arduino IDE, follow along with this guide. The setup only needs to be performed once.
You'll also need the Adafruit_ADT7410 library and the Adafruit Unified Sensor library installed.
- If you have not done this yet, click here to visit the setup guide and come back to this page when you're done.

Before you upload the sketch to the Huzzah, you'll need to configure the network and Adafruit IO.
Change IO_USERNAME to your Adafruit IO username and IO_KEY to the Adafruit IO Key you saved earlier.
Next, set up the sketch to use WiFi. Change WIFI_SSID to your router's SSID and WIFI_PASS to your router's password.
Save and upload the sketch to your board, and open the Arduino Serial Monitor. Your board should now connect to Adafruit IO.
Adafruit IO ADT7410 + OLED OLED begun Connecting to Adafruit IOAdafruitIO::connect() Adafruit IO connected.
The ADT7410 will read temperature values and the Feather will send them to Adafruit IO. You should see something resembling the following in the Arduino Serial Monitor:
Temp: 24.31C Sending to Adafruit IO Waiting 900 seconds
Want to change the amount of precision (decimal places) sent from the ADT7410 to Adafruit IO?
Modify this line from:
huzzah_temperature->save(c, 0, 0, 0, 2);
to
huzzah_temperature->save(c, 0, 0, 0, decimal_places);
Make sure to replace decimal_places with the number of decimal places you'd like to send from the ADT7410.
Want to change the delay between sending data to Adafruit IO?
In the code, change this line from:
#define MESSAGE_WAIT_SEC (15 * 60)
to
#define MESSAGE_WAIT_SEC (SECONDS_TO_DELAY_BY * 60)
Make sure to replace SECONDS_TO_DELAY_BY with the number of seconds to delay between sending sensor data.
Next, let's check that the data has been received by Adafruit IO. You can do this by visiting the Adafruit IO Monitor page. Every 15 minutes, the page will refresh with a new huzzah-temperature value.
