Hi all, Wei from New Zealand. Complete beginner. I’ve got a workshop out the back with no decent WiFi but a Cat6 cable already running to it, and I’d like temperature, humidity and maybe a door switch from there. Haven’t bought anything yet.
Welcome Wei. Before buying hardware you can try the whole path from your laptop: Connect your first device uses mosquitto_pub as a stand-in device and takes about five minutes. If you want to sketch a board first, widgets can use the sample data source, so they show something real-looking before any device is connected.
Another Kiwi here. Cable already run to the workshop is a good start, plenty of people would love that. Buy two of whatever sensor you pick, one always turns out to be dodgy.
Ha, will do. Trying the laptop thing this weekend.
