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…]

I stumbled upon a TIG (Telegraf, InfluxDB, Grafana) stack on Github, which I forked and dockerized. I found a Grafana dashboard to import on another fork (included in my fork as well) which is … [Read more…]

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…]
