Getting into IoT

[Aromat ZA]

Hi all,

I would like to get into IoT but not sure where to start. I am more into the reading data from sensors and visualizing it than the soldering and resistors part of it.

Anyone here working on IoT or busy getting into it?

Where do I start?

Sounds like fun! You could start with an Raspberry Pi or an Arduino which often have plenty of ‘plug and play’ sensor kits to make a weather station, security camera, or maybe hook up a screen and have some kind of personal dashboard? 😄

I have played with the Nerves Project and found it awesome! It has a learning curve because it in the language Elixir but that’s what makes it so fun! The Farm Bot that went around FB a while ago was built in Nerves. 😄
