Copy this code into the Arduino IDE

This is the complete sketch. It makes up a value around 25 and sends it every 3 seconds, so you can see data arriving before wiring any sensor.

#if defined(ESP32)
  #include <WiFi.h>          // ESP32
#else
  #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>   // ESP8266

#include <VirtuinoCloud.h>

const char* SSID     = "YOUR_WIFI_SSID";
const char* PASSWORD = "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD";
const char* API_KEY  = "YOUR_API_KEY";    // Console → Keys & Sub Users
const char* DEVICE   = "demo_device";     // must match device name in Console exactly

VirtuinoCloud cloud(API_KEY);

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);

    while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { delay(500); Serial.print("."); }
    Serial.println("\nWiFi connected");
}

void loop() {
    float sensor_value = 25 + random(-5,+5);   // replace with a real sensor read

    bool ok = cloud.write(DEVICE, "demo_field_1", sensor_value);

    delay(3000);   // upload every 3 seconds

Enter your API key and WiFi details

Replace the three placeholders at the top of the sketch with your own values.

const char* SSID     = "YOUR_WIFI_SSID";
const char* PASSWORD = "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD";
const char* API_KEY  = "YOUR_API_KEY";

Install the VirtuinoCloud library

In the Arduino IDE open Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries, search for VirtuinoCloud and click Install. Install ArduinoJson the same way.

Select your board and upload

Choose the ESP32 or ESP8266 board and the correct serial port, then press Upload. Open the Serial Monitor at 115200 baud — you should see Uploaded every 3 seconds.

Watch the data arrive

Open the console and go to Data → Data Monitor. Select demo_device and demo_field_1 and your values appear.

Open Data Monitor →
