Re: Some help with an Arduino project

Post by Flynn »

I have been playing with Mosquitto (which is a locally run free MQTT broker) and node-red (which is a graphically based programming solution) running on a raspberry or orange pi which provide web based browser control of ESP8266 devices via your LAN - sounds quite like what you are trying to achieve. There are plenty of examples of remote weather stations using this setup and it is pretty easy to get into.

It is also the base for home automation, either internet based or all run locally behind your router firewall once Sonoff Tasmota firmware has been flashed onto the ESP device. See the sonoff range of switches and sensors or build you own from one of the basic ESP8266 modules.
You only ever need two tools....WD40 and duct tape.
If it doesn't move when it should use the WD40 and if it moves and it shouldn't use the tape.
