IoT Cricket Wi-Fi Module

The Things On Edge IoT Cricket is an ultra-low-power ESP8266-based Wi-Fi module operating on 1–3.6V, running directly on AAA batteries for months or years. Requiring zero coding, it connects sensors, buttons, and switches to Wi-Fi out of the box via a smartphone or browser, supports MQTT and HTTP protocols, and integrates with Home Assistant, Node-RED, ThingsBoard, and other IoT platforms.

The Things On Edge IOT Cricket is an ultra-low-power Wi-Fi module designed for battery-powered IoT sensor nodes. It includes a built-in temperature sensor and supports external sensors like DS18B20. Cricket connects directly to Wi-Fi and sends data to ThingsBoard over HTTP — no gateway, no code required.

This guide covers assembling a battery-powered temperature sensor, connecting it to Wi-Fi, and configuring it to send data to ThingsBoard.
