I decided recently to set up a string of temperature sensors around our house to work out the temperature profile of different rooms.<\/p>\n

With the recent release of the Pico W, I realised that I could do this quite simply, as long as I could find a way to “nicely” display the data.<\/p>\n

You’ll have read my exploits with Anvil<\/a> last week, I expect, and saw that I didn’t have much luck. However, I knew that Adafruit had their very own IoT platform – Adafruit IO – and that it had been around awhile, so I thought I’d give that a try and document it.<\/p>\n

Set-up your Adafruit account<\/h2>\n

Go to https:\/\/io.adafruit.com\/<\/a> and register an account if you don’t have one. You’ll be creating Feeds and Dashboards in a bit.<\/p>\n

Assemble your hardware<\/h2>\n

For this project, I’m using:<\/p>\n
