In this IoT project, we will learn how to get phone call notifications using micro:bit and the grove WiFi 8266. To make this happen we will be using ThingSpeak platform and IFTTT.

The applications of this project are limitless, however, we will see how to get a phone call when the temperature in the room exceeds a certain limit.
