Project: Smart Home Dashboard

August 2, 2021 by Tobey Leave a Comment

Yesterday I have released a new page on this blog, which describes my most recent project: a smart home dashboard using an Inkplate 10 e-ink display and Home Assistant as a backend. Home Assistant displays a lovelace view of the dashboard which is then rendered to a JPG-image. The Inkplate wakes up every 20 minutes … [Read more…]

July 31, 2021 by Tobey Leave a Comment

For my current personal project in developing a dashboard, which displays metrics of my servers and devices among other things, I was faced with the challenge to collect metrics from all devices.

DIY Smart Home Thermometer / Humidity Sensor with ESP32 and DHT22

April 4, 2021 by Tobey Leave a Comment
ESP32

As I got further into the Smart Home game, I encountered a type of device I’ve never thought of using: microcontrollers. Reading into the possibilities I recognized these little things as a power and cost efficient way of handling different (light) tasks. Because I’ve already had a DHT22 lying around, which was used with a … [Read more…]

The need for a query Some time ago I’ve decided to gather information from my FritzBox router to display in Grafana. I stumbled upon a TIG (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana) stack on Github, which I forked and dockerized.

Connecting Telegraf to Mosquitto with output to InfluxDb

February 14, 2021 by Tobey 2 Comments
Mosquitto

For a small project (a microcontroller with a temperature sensor) I needed a mqtt broker to process the sensors data to display it in Grafana. There’s already a TIG stack running on my server, so it was obvious to me that I will go with Mosquitto. For some reason Mosquitto never returned any data scraped … [Read more…]
