netio.probe

A self-contained SNMP v2c temperature probe for the ESP8266 + DS18B20 — zero external libraries.

netio.probe turns a NodeMCU (ESP8266) and a single DS18B20 sensor into a proper, monitorable network device. It reads temperature over 1-Wire and publishes it as a real SNMP v2c agent (hand-written BER/ASN.1 — snmpwalk / snmpget work out of the box), exposes a redesigned, light-themed, password-protected web management UI (a tabbed layout with a read-only dashboard plus per-area settings tabs), supports browser-based OTA firmware updates, and ships a first-boot Wi-Fi captive portal so it can be provisioned without recompiling.

It is a self-alerting probe: configurable temperature thresholds with hysteresis drive an alarm state, an onboard LED, and SNMP v2c traps pushed to your NMS. As of v1.4, the hardware pins, pull-up mode, and NTP are all configurable from the web UI — no recompiling to move the sensor pin or sync the clock — on top of the v1.2 security/observability layer (source-IP ACL, salted-hash auth with brute-force lockout, Prometheus /metrics, remote syslog).

Everything depends only on the ESP8266 Arduino Core — no SNMP, OneWire, DallasTemperature, or crypto libraries required (SHA-256 uses the core's bundled BearSSL).

What's new

v1.5 — redesigned web interface

Light theme across every page — the management UI, the Wi-Fi captive portal, the OTA page, and the reboot/reset/result pages all share a wide, airy "instrument" look (still system-font, zero external assets, served straight from flash).
Tabbed management UI. Settings are no longer stacked accordions — they're split into top tabs: Dashboard · SNMP · Güvenlik · WiFi · Alarm · TRAP · Donanım · NTP. Dashboard is read-only telemetry (temperature, RSSI, uptime, free heap, SNMP requests, read/error) plus system actions; the other tabs group the settings into one form saved with a single button. The alarm banner and UTC clock stay visible on every tab.
UI-only release — fully config-compatible with v1.4. CFG_MAGIC is unchanged, so flashing v1.5 over v1.4 keeps every setting; no migration runs. All SNMP/alarm/trap/NTP behaviour, field names, /status, and /testtrap are unchanged.

v1.4 — runtime hardware configuration & NTP

Configurable GPIO from the UI. The DS18B20 data pin, the internal/external pull-up mode, and the alarm LED/relay pin are now runtime settings under Hardware & NTP — no recompiling to re-wire. The compile-time #defines are just the defaults. Pin/pull-up changes reboot the device so the 1-Wire bus re-initialises cleanly.
NTP time sync. Set an NTP server (default pool.ntp.org, blank to disable). Once synced, syslog messages carry a real RFC 5424 UTC timestamp instead of the NILVALUE -, and the dashboard shows a live UTC clock.
Migration chain extended — flashing v1.4 over v1.1, v1.2, or v1.3 preserves settings.

v1.3 — threshold-based alerting

Temperature thresholds + hysteresis drive an alarm state (normal / high / low); hysteresis prevents flapping around the setpoint.
SNMP v2c traps pushed to a configurable target (IP:162) on every alarm transition, carrying sysUpTime.0, snmpTrapOID.0, the temperature, and the alarm state.
Onboard LED alarm indicator, a dashboard alarm banner, a netio_alarm_state metric, enterprise OIDs for alarm state and thresholds, and a Test-trap button (/testtrap).

v1.2 — security, observability & reliability (recap)

Admin password stored as salt + SHA-256 (never plaintext); per-IP brute-force lockout.
Source-IP ACL (CIDR) on SNMP, the web UI, and /metrics.
Prometheus /metrics endpoint and remote syslog (RFC 5424 / UDP) for boot, config, OTA, sensor-fault, and auth-failure events.
DS18B20 stuck-bus detection; seamless EEPROM migration; watchdog + low-heap self-heal; optional MD5 verification for web OTA.

Features

Real SNMP v2c agent — hand-written BER/ASN.1 encoder/decoder. Supports GET, GETNEXT, and GETBULK (single-repetition), so snmpwalk and snmpbulkwalk terminate correctly. Read-only; community is validated, and packets from outside the ACL or with a wrong community are dropped silently.
Threshold alarms + SNMP traps — high/low thresholds with hysteresis, an alarm state machine, an LED indicator, and pushed SNMPv2-Trap notifications.
Runtime hardware config — sensor pin, pull-up mode, and alarm-output pin set from the UI; NTP clock sync with UTC syslog timestamps.
Standards-aligned MIB — full SNMPv2-MIB System group plus the Entity Sensor MIB (RFC 3433) for the temperature reading, plus an enterprise subtree with diagnostics (heap, RSSI, uptime, counters, alarm state, thresholds).
Prometheus /metrics — telemetry plus alarm state in a format your monitoring stack scrapes directly.
Remote syslog — security and operational events to a central collector (VictoriaLogs, ClickHouse, rsyslog, …), with UTC timestamps when NTP is enabled.
Hardened web UI — HTTP Basic Auth backed by a salted SHA-256 secret, per-IP brute-force lockout, and an optional source-IP ACL.
Robust DS18B20 driver — standard 1-Wire timing with interrupts disabled only around the short reset/bit windows, a non-blocking conversion state machine, CRC8 validation, and stuck-bus detection.
First-boot Wi-Fi provisioning — boots as an Access Point with a captive portal; pick your network from a live scan.
Browser OTA — upload a compiled .bin from the web UI with a progress bar and optional MD5 check; classic IDE OTA (espota) also works.
Triple factory reset — from the web UI, by shorting two pins, or via the FLASH button.
Single file, no dependencies — drops straight into the Arduino IDE.

              • captive portal at http://192.168.4.1/
              • live Wi-Fi scan, save → reboot into RUN

In RUN mode, if Wi-Fi stays down for more than 120 seconds the device reboots and falls back to the captive portal. Configuration is persisted in EEPROM as a single versioned struct guarded by a magic number and an XOR checksum; a watchdog and a low-heap guard reboot the device cleanly if it ever gets wedged.

Hardware

Bill of materials

Qty	Part
1	ESP8266 board (NodeMCU 1.0 / ESP-12E)
1	DS18B20 temperature sensor
1	4.7 kΩ resistor (1-Wire pull-up)
—	jumper wire (for factory-reset header, optional)

Wiring

DS18B20	ESP8266 (NodeMCU)
VDD	3V3
GND	GND
DATA	GPIO4 (D2) — default; changeable in the UI

⚠️ An external 4.7 kΩ pull-up between DATA and 3V3 is strongly recommended. The ESP8266's internal pull-up (~30 kΩ+) is too weak for reliable 1-Wire timing, especially with Wi-Fi active. The internal pull-up can now be toggled from the UI (Donanım → internal pull-up) if you have no external resistor, but it is not recommended.

Alarm output & factory-reset header

Function	Pin
Alarm indicator	`LED_BUILTIN` by default (active-LOW) — re-assign to any GPIO in the UI for a relay/buzzer
Factory reset jumper	GPIO14 (D5) ↔ GND (short ~2 s)

The alarm LED lights while the device is in a high or low temperature alarm. Shorting D5 to GND for ~2 seconds — at boot or at runtime — wipes all settings; the onboard FLASH button (GPIO0) held for 3 s does the same.

Safe data-pin choices: GPIO 4, 5, 12, 13, 14. Avoid GPIO0/2/15 (boot-strapping) and GPIO16 for 1-Wire.

Build & flash

Prerequisites

Arduino IDE (or arduino-cli)
ESP8266 Arduino Core 3.x — add this Boards Manager URL, then install "esp8266 by ESP8266 Community":
```
https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
```
Board: NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)
No libraries to install — everything used is part of the core (ESP8266WiFi, ESP8266WebServer, DNSServer, ESP8266mDNS, WiFiUdp, ArduinoOTA, EEPROM, Updater, the SNTP/time.h facility, and BearSSL for SHA-256).

⚠️ One sketch = one folder

The Arduino build concatenates every .ino file in the sketch folder into a single program. Keep exactly one .ino, and its name must match the folder:

netio_probe/
└── netio_probe.ino     ← the only .ino in this folder

If you see a wall of redefinition of '...' / multiple definition of '...' errors, you have more than one .ino (or an old copy) in the folder. Move/delete the extras so only netio_probe.ino remains.

Steps

Put netio_probe.ino alone in a folder named netio_probe.
Open it in the Arduino IDE — you should see a single tab.
Select board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module) and the correct COM port.
Upload. Open the Serial Monitor at 115200 baud to watch boot logs.

Resource footprint (NodeMCU 1.0): roughly a third of flash and under half of static RAM, leaving the upper flash half free for OTA. IRAM is the tightest segment (~92% used) — relevant only if you later add interrupt-heavy code.

Upgrading

Just flash the new firmware over the old one (USB or OTA).

Upgrading to v1.5 is the simplest case: it's a UI-only release with the same EEPROM layout as v1.4 (CFG_MAGIC unchanged), so flashing v1.5 over v1.4 keeps every setting and runs no migration at all.

Coming from an older build, the first boot detects the older EEPROM layout and migrates it automatically — v1.1 → v1.4, v1.2 → v1.4, and v1.3 → v1.4 are all supported (the v1.4 layout is what v1.5 uses):

Wi-Fi credentials, SNMP read community, sysName / sysLocation / sysContact, OTA password, admin username, the ACL/syslog settings, and (from v1.3) the thresholds and trap target are preserved.
From v1.2/v1.3, the salted password hash is carried over as-is (nothing to re-enter). From v1.1, the old plaintext password is re-hashed into the new salted form.
New (v1.4) settings — sensor pin, pull-up mode, alarm-LED pin, NTP server — start at their defaults, so behaviour is unchanged until you adjust them. No factory reset and no re-provisioning are needed. (A factory reset is still available if you want a clean slate.)

First-time setup (Wi-Fi captive portal)

On first boot (or after a factory reset) the device starts an Access Point:


SSID	`netio.probe-XXXX` (`XXXX` = chip-ID suffix)
Password	`snmpsetup`
Portal URL	`http://192.168.4.1/`

Join the netio.probe-XXXX network. Most phones open the captive portal automatically; if not, browse to http://192.168.4.1/.
The page performs a live Wi-Fi scan — tap your network, enter the password.
Optionally expand Advanced to set the SNMP read community, sysName/sysLocation/sysContact, OTA password, and admin credentials.
Save → the device reboots and joins your network. After connecting it is reachable at http://netio-probe-<chip-id>.local/ (mDNS) or by its DHCP IP. Configure thresholds, traps, hardware pins, and NTP from the management UI once it's online.

Web management interface

Once on your network, browse to the device IP (or netio-probe-<chip-id>.local). The UI is protected by HTTP Basic Auth and, if configured, by the source-IP ACL.


Default username	`admin`
Default password	`netioprobe`

🔐 Change these on first login. The password is stored only as a salted hash. Leaving a password field blank keeps the current one.

The interface uses a tabbed layout with a persistent header (wordmark, UTC clock when NTP is synced, online pill) and a colour-coded alarm banner that stays visible on every tab.

Dashboard — read-only telemetry tiles (temperature, RSSI, uptime, free heap, SNMP request count, read/error counters), refreshed every few seconds via a /status JSON endpoint, plus system actions: firmware update, reboot, and factory reset.
SNMP — the read community (applied live) and sysName / sysLocation / sysContact.
Güvenlik — admin username/password, the access-control CIDR, and syslog server IP/port.
WiFi — Wi-Fi SSID/password and the OTA (espota) password.
Alarm — enable the alarm and set high / low thresholds and hysteresis.
TRAP — the SNMP trap target/community and a Test trap button.
Donanım — the DS18B20 data pin, pull-up mode, and alarm-LED pin.
NTP — the NTP server. All settings tabs are one form, saved with a single "Ayarları kaydet" button. Changing Wi-Fi credentials or any hardware pin / pull-up triggers an automatic reboot; everything else applies live.

Endpoint	Method	Auth	Purpose
`/`	GET	✅ Basic + ACL	Management dashboard
`/status`	GET	✅ Basic + ACL	Live telemetry + alarm + clock (JSON)
`/save`	POST	✅ Basic + ACL	Apply settings
`/testtrap`	POST	✅ Basic + ACL	Send a test SNMP trap
`/update`	GET / POST	✅ Basic + ACL	Web OTA page / upload
`/reboot`	POST	✅ Basic + ACL	Restart
`/reset`	POST	✅ Basic + ACL	Factory reset
`/metrics`	GET	🔓 ACL only	Prometheus metrics

Hardware & NTP configuration

Set under the Donanım (hardware) and NTP tabs in the management UI.

Setting	Default	Notes
DS18B20 data pin	`GPIO4`	safe choices: 4, 5, 12, 13, 14 — reboots on change
Internal pull-up	off (external)	enable only if you have no external 4.7 kΩ — reboots on change
Alarm LED / relay pin	`LED_BUILTIN`	any output GPIO (active-LOW) — reboots on change
NTP server	`pool.ntp.org`	blank disables NTP; applied live

Because the 1-Wire driver re-initialises the bus from scratch, a pin or pull-up change restarts the device (the UI shows a "rebooting" page and returns automatically). The NTP server can be changed without a reboot.

NTP behaviour: the device syncs in UTC. The first sync takes a few seconds after boot; until then, syslog timestamps fall back to the RFC 5424 NILVALUE (-) and the dashboard clock is hidden. Once synced, syslog lines carry a UTC timestamp (…T…Z) and the dashboard shows the live UTC time.

Temperature alarms & SNMP traps

Configure these under the Alarm and TRAP tabs in the management UI.

Thresholds & hysteresis

Field	Meaning
Enable	turns threshold evaluation and traps on/off
High threshold (°C)	alarm goes high when temperature ≥ this value
Low threshold (°C)	alarm goes low when temperature ≤ this value
Hysteresis (°C)	the alarm only clears once temperature is `hysteresis` past the threshold (back inside the safe band)

The alarm state is normal (0), high (1), or low (2). It is evaluated only while the sensor reads OK, so a sensor fault won't produce a bogus alarm. While in alarm, the alarm LED lights and the dashboard shows a banner.

Example: high = 30.0, hysteresis = 0.5. The alarm raises at ≥ 30.0 °C and clears at < 29.5 °C — so a reading hovering at 30.0 °C won't rapidly toggle.

SNMP traps

Set a trap target IP (and optionally a community, default public) to push an SNMPv2-Trap-PDU to IP:162 on every alarm transition. Each trap contains:

sysUpTime.0 (TimeTicks)
snmpTrapOID.0 (the notification OID, below)
entPhySensorValue — current temperature ×10
the enterprise alarm-state object Notification OIDs (under .1.3.6.1.4.1.63333.2.0):

Trap OID	Meaning
`.1.3.6.1.4.1.63333.2.0.1`	temperature alarm raised (high or low)
`.1.3.6.1.4.1.63333.2.0.2`	temperature alarm cleared
`.1.3.6.1.4.1.63333.2.0.3`	test trap (from the UI button)

Verifying traps

Listen with net-snmp's snmptrapd (the trap is community-authenticated v2c):

# quick test: print traps, skip authorization config
sudo snmptrapd -f -Lo --disableAuthorization
 
# or accept a specific community
echo "authCommunity log,execute,net public" | sudo tee /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf
sudo snmptrapd -f -Lo

Then click Test trap in the UI (or push the temperature past a threshold). Each transition is also written to syslog (temp alarm HIGH/LOW/NORMAL …).

Traps are fire-and-forget UDP. For guaranteed delivery you'd want INFORM (acknowledged) — not implemented here; alarms are also observable via polling (netio_alarm_state, the alarm-state OID) and via syslog.

Access control (ACL)

The ACL restricts who can reach the device, by source IP, expressed as a single CIDR:

Applies to the SNMP agent (out-of-range packets are dropped silently), the web UI (returns 403), and /metrics (returns 403).
Set it in the management UI under Security & Wi-Fi → Access list (CIDR).
0.0.0.0/0 or an empty value means allow all — the default. | Value | Effect | |-------|--------| | 0.0.0.0/0 | allow all (default) | | 192.168.10.0/24 | only the 192.168.10.x management subnet | | 10.0.5.20/32 | only a single host (e.g. your NMS / Prometheus server) |

The ACL is an IP filter, not a substitute for encryption. Outbound traps and syslog are sent regardless of the ACL (the ACL governs inbound access).

Monitoring & integration

Prometheus (`/metrics`)

/metrics serves text-exposition metrics with no login (so a scraper can read it) but subject to the ACL — point the ACL at your Prometheus host to lock it down.

# prometheus.yml
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: netio-probe
    metrics_path: /metrics
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['netio-probe-abcd.local:80']   # or the device IP

Exposed series:

Metric	Type	Meaning
`netio_temp_celsius`	gauge	temperature in °C (omitted while the sensor is unavailable)
`netio_sensor_up`	gauge	`1` = sensor OK, `0` = unavailable
`netio_alarm_state`	gauge	`0` normal, `1` high, `2` low
`netio_rssi_dbm`	gauge	Wi-Fi RSSI
`netio_free_heap_bytes`	gauge	free heap
`netio_uptime_seconds`	counter	seconds since boot
`netio_snmp_requests_total`	counter	SNMP requests served
`netio_sensor_reads_total`	counter	successful sensor reads
`netio_sensor_errors_total`	counter	failed sensor reads

Syslog (RFC 5424 / UDP)

Set a syslog server IP (and optionally a port; default 514) to stream events using facility local0. With NTP enabled, each message carries a UTC timestamp; otherwise the RFC 5424 NILVALUE - is sent and the collector's receive-time applies. Logged events include:

boot up ip=… host=….local
config saved
OTA basladi: … / OTA tamam: … byte / OTA yazma/dogrulama hatasi
sensor fault: … / sensor recovered
temp alarm HIGH/LOW/NORMAL temp=…C
test trap gonderildi -> …
web auth fail src=… user=… / web ACL deny src=…
dusuk heap … -> reboot Example line (a failed login, NTP synced):

<132>1 2026-06-04T12:00:01Z netio-probe-abcd netio.probe - - - web auth fail src=192.168.10.50 user=admin

Blue-team tip: the web auth fail, web ACL deny, and temp alarm events are clean signals for a detection/alerting rule — forward them into your SIEM and alert on bursts or critical transitions.

OTA firmware updates

Web OTA (browser)

In the management UI, click Firmware güncelle / Firmware update (or browse to /update).
Select a compiled .bin (Arduino IDE: Sketch → Export Compiled Binary).
(Optional) paste the firmware's MD5; the device verifies it and rejects a corrupted upload.
Upload — a progress bar tracks it. On success the image is verified and the device reboots automatically. A failed or interrupted upload leaves the running firmware untouched.

Get the MD5 with md5sum firmware.bin (Linux/macOS) or CertUtil -hashfile firmware.bin MD5 (Windows).

IDE OTA (espota)

After the first USB flash, the board also advertises itself for over-the-air uploads from the Arduino IDE (Tools → Port → Network ports). The OTA password defaults to esp8266ota and is configurable.

Factory reset

Any of the following wipes all settings (Wi-Fi, communities, admin password, ACL, syslog, thresholds, trap target, hardware pins, NTP, …) and returns the device to the setup AP:

Web UI — the Factory reset button (with confirmation).
Hardware jumper — short GPIO14 (D5) ↔ GND for ~2 seconds.
FLASH button — hold GPIO0 for 3 seconds.

SNMP usage

Replace <IP> with the device address and public with your community if you changed it. If you set an ACL, queries must come from an allowed source IP.

Quick test

# System group
snmpwalk  -v2c -c public <IP> .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
 
# Entity Sensor MIB (the temperature)
snmpwalk  -v2c -c public <IP> .1.3.6.1.2.1.99
 
# Temperature ×10 (e.g. 235 → 23.5 °C)
snmpget   -v2c -c public <IP> .1.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.4.1
 
# Enterprise subtree: diagnostics, alarm state, thresholds
snmpwalk  -v2c -c public <IP> .1.3.6.1.4.1.63333
 
# Alarm state (0 normal / 1 high / 2 low)
snmpget   -v2c -c public <IP> .1.3.6.1.4.1.63333.10.8.0

The temperature is published per the Entity Sensor MIB with type = celsius, scale = units, and precision = 1, i.e. the raw entPhySensorValue is the temperature ×10. Most NMS platforms render this automatically.

Security considerations

Be clear about what the device does and does not protect:

Admin password at rest is safe. Stored only as a random-salt + SHA-256 hash and compared in constant time — never written as plaintext, never pre-filled into a web page.
Online password guessing is throttled. Five failed logins from an IP lock that IP out for a minute (429).
Reachability is controllable. The source-IP ACL limits inbound SNMP and HTTP/metrics to a subnet or host you choose.
Transport is still cleartext. SNMP v2c (including traps) and HTTP Basic Auth are not encrypted: the community string and the base64-encoded credentials are visible to anyone who can sniff the segment. Run the device on a trusted/management VLAN, and for browser access prefer a TLS-terminating reverse proxy in front of it. (Encrypted, authenticated SNMPv3 is on the roadmap.)
OTA is a powerful capability. Web OTA requires authentication and supports an optional MD5 integrity check, but it can replace the firmware — keep it behind the ACL and your network controls. For cryptographically signed updates, use the ESP8266 core's signed-OTA toolchain.
NTP is unauthenticated. Timestamps are for log correlation, not a security control; SNTP responses are trusted as received.

SNMP is read-only (no SET) and v2c only (no v3 yet).
GETBULK is handled as a single repetition (protocol-legal; walks still complete).
Traps are v2c Trap (fire-and-forget UDP), not acknowledged INFORM.
One DS18B20 per device (Skip ROM addressing); multi-sensor 1-Wire enumeration is not implemented. Roadmap (not in v1.5)
SNMPv3 (USM: HMAC-SHA auth + AES-128 privacy, engine discovery, time-window) — the next planned release (v1.6).
INFORM (acknowledged) traps.
MQTT publishing (Telegraf / Home Assistant).
Multi-sensor 1-Wire enumeration and optional SHT3x humidity.
Configurable PEN from the UI.
