IoT at home - The solution to all your spare time problems
summary
Argues for building custom home IoT with concrete choices: uses Arduino Pro Mini (modified) and ESP8266 for sensors, Raspberry Pi as local adapters/hub, humidity sensors plus a webcam over an analog water meter with OCR and the heating system API to measure showers and discover showers cost only pennies. Designs for failure and spouse acceptance: decouple local control from cloud, store data locally, use 3.5 years on a 9V battery by using sleep modes, and prefer MQTT instead of HTTP with AMQP to cloud.
