GETTING STARTED WITH HOME ASSISTANT (Part 2) - TASMOTA
In part 2 of our Home Assistant series we will look at how to do the wiring and preparation of the sensors to prepare them to be added into Home Assistant using the Tasmota integration.
GETTING STARTED WITH HOME ASSISTANT (Part 1)
This blog focuses on using Home Assistant, an open source and FREE home automation operating system, to integrate sensors and operate relays from your smartphone or computer, without writing a lot of complicated code.
HOW TO SETUP ARDUINO IOT CLOUD
The Arduino IOT Cloud is an easy to use cloud solution to connect your things to the cloud. This blog goes through how to set it up and if it really is easy.
FRIDGE MONITORING PROJECT
Many people leave for holidays with freezers full of perishables at home or you might have a business where freezers, fridges or coolers are used and need to stay below a certain temperature. This blog describes a possible way to monitor fridge temperatures and send notifications on abnormal conditions.
CREATE YOUR OWN IOT APP WITH BLYNK
To be able to interface with some of your IOT projects might be the end goal. Their are a lot of platforms as a service (PAAS) available that you can use but most of them are web based and still requires a bit of setup to get started.
This is where Blynk comes in. Blynk is an IOT platform that is mobile based and makes it easy to connect to any hardware platform in minutes. I tested this with my existing Particle Argon to see how easy it is.
GRAFANA DASHBOARDS
Grafana is used to visualise data. There are a lot of interesting ways to show data that has been collected. Each of the different ways can be used to visualize the data in the most informative way.
HOUSEHOLD IOT PROJECT IDEAS
The revolution of maker electronics, started by Arduino more than 10 years ago, has made a lot of household projects possible which seemed far fetched, difficult and expensive.
In this blog post I discuss some of the technology I used and examples of home IOT projects that I implemented.
