Tony, Thank you so much for a fantastic series. Not only have I watched most of them so far but I have purchased 6 of the Huzzah esp8266. I have already installed 1 on the fridge monitoring the Freezer and the Fridge and one controlling my sprinkler systems. Both of which have replaced Raspberry Pi's doing the same thing. I have now started the process of adding more sensors around the house and adding an alarm system as well. You have been such an inspiration and have made DIY easier. Thank you soooo much. Please keep going. Adafruit needs more people like you.

Folks should consider setting "static leases" on their routers rather than using static addresses on individual devices. That way the addresses are managed in a central location.

I'm using 921600 baud with my Feather Huzzah ESP8266. Works flawlessly almost all the time, only complains a bit every now and then. So overall I'm saving a lot of time :).

what if you don't have internet? is it possible to do this over an intranet rather than using an internet? I have a project I'm working on in Dubai and I'm using TKinter to build my GPIO interface and using RS232 communicators to handle my network communication. This way I could get around having Internet because in Dubai, not all buildings have internet believe it or not.

the /24 the end of an ip address i.e. 192.168.1.5/24 is the length of the subnet mask, giving it a 24 bit subnet mask which will be 255.255.255.0 for your subnet mask.

[kevinwright]

on the command ip address 192.168.1.42/24 the /24 is the subnet mask, it's telling the router to 24 bits of the 32 bit mask. 24 bits is equals the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

I used that example to read gps data from an ultimate gps breakout with an esp8266 and send latitude & longitude over to my pi. the pi loggs the data into an csv file with a timestamp.

keep that series going !

[johndasilva]

Great Tutorial and series you have ! Thank you and looking forward to viewing all your future projects.

[kevinwright]

I running Manjaro on my tower computer, how would I install nc on it?

[rodneyeng]

just what i am looking for -- keep it coming !!!

[CONTROLTHEYOUTH]

When will the PiGrrl 2.0 be restocked? I'm interested in purchasing it.

[stealth]

Will the Ras Pi and the arduino need to be on the same network?

[FJX]

How would to approach controlling a WeMo switch with a Harmony hub/remote. I have a working command line and python script that can toggle it with a web request using Maker on IFTTT. I have seen some examples using a Pi or PC with an IR sensor. I am thinking maybe one of these smaller Wi-Fi enabled boards would be a better choice. Great Vid.

Thanks,
James

The /24 on the end of your IP configuration is the subnet mask. /24 is equal to 255.255.255.0, and is equal to a full Class C network (254 usable IP's)

[hamoodelholandy]

is there eny toutial about sending data from Raspberry pi to arduino using ESP 8266
or eny Module (wifi)
thanks in advance

[charlienash]

Thank you so much for sharing ... I have been learning so much!
Question: I replicated your setup and I get "Failed to read from HDT sensor! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[cffellows]

I like this video and where you are going with it. Waiting anxiously for the next installment!

[parleckius]

Tony, I really like what you did here. keep it simple, that is good thinking! I have plans for logging temp. and humid. in my house. It gave me new hope for really getting started!

[quaternion-pi]

Amazing!

Suggestion: Could you show an easy way to have the raspberry pi save the data file(s) directly to a networked MAC, PC, linux box (like ubuntu), or networked attached storage instead of to the raspberry pi? Or even store the data file directly to Google Drive in the cloud?

[RCTurbine]

Fantasic video, Tony - Thank you so much, I was just getting started with the steam powered version - this will save me days of work.
