IoT home monitoring device
for ITP course Connected Devices with Tom Igoe
March 2023
These are two buddy home monitoring devices I designed and built with my friend Gracy. They both feature an Arduino Nano 33 IoT which sends collected RGB, temperature, humidity, and loudness data using the MQTT protocol to a custom web dashboard. One house even has an OLED screen to display sensor data right on the device. The circuits were soldered on protoboard and the houses were fabricated using laser cut and painted acrylic.
Here’s some documentation on how we made this thing:
