Simple IoT doorbell camera
Build a simple IoT doorbell camera using Adafruit's MEMENTO. Press the mini LED arcade button to take a photo and display it on your Adafruit IO dashboard. Photos from the doorbell will also be sent to your email. The electronics are housed in a 3D printed snap-fit housing. – Adafruit Learning System
Industrial network playground
A “playground” to learn more about the hardware and software components of an industrial setup without accessing a real industrial network. – HackADay.io
IOT squirrel house
In many parts of the world, if you have a backyard, there's a good chance your neighborhood is full of squirrels, so you should make the most of it. Creator David McDaid did just that (and more) when he built this charming IOT squirrel house in his backyard. Home he integrates with the Assistant OS and uses as many off-the-shelf components as possible. ” – Adafruit Blog
Repair a broken smart cat feeder using ESP8266
Jeff Sandberg's PetNet eventually went out of business as the company went out of business. This article describes disassembling a cat feeder, reverse engineering it, and using a custom web interface to replace the original app. – PDX.su
Replace your old Honeywell thermostat with a Raspberry Pi
A DIY approach to upgrading older mercury-based thermostats to a mesh network thermometer system that reports to a central thermostat. – Hackster.io
We’d love to hear your feedback on Adafruit IO (and WipperSnapper firmware) to help us plan for 2024 (and beyond) 🚀
Inspired by Scott's blog post “CircuitPython 2024,” the developers and architects of our IoT platform Adafruit IO are looking for feedback (from you!) to guide the development of this platform in 2024.
If you're a current Adafruit Free IO user, an Adafruit IO Plus (paid) user, or have used Adafruit IO in the past year, we'd love to hear from you.
Designing a smart home from scratch, part 0
Evan Grove writes, “After reading my fair share of terrible, terrible, totally useless, very bad news about consumer IoT products bricking themselves or screwing with their human administrators, I've come to the conclusion that smart… I'll walk you through the process of designing a home from scratch.'' I use the term “custodian'' because I don't actually own most of these products. ” The system they are designing will start designing the platform by considering the ethical implications of which gadgets you bring into your home. – Hard Fault.Life
Hacking smart home devices
A detailed case study on reverse engineering IoT smart devices and the associated network protocols used in them. –jmswrnr
