Garden sensors on a Raspberry Pi - the pump from the tablet
Leo's Raspberry Pi reads the soil sensors in the garden. With a Beam-in code from Francesca, Leo and Zoe switch the pump on from their tablet.
Leo and Zoe about Awacino
- What I like
- We switch the pump from anywhere, and the Pi runs on its own.
- Use case
- We use Awacino to read our garden sensors and switch the pump on our Raspberry Pi.
- What works better than with alternative solutions
- No cloud account for the sensors and no open port at home - the tablet talks to the Pi directly.
Coming soonThe story
Francesca installed the Raspberry image with Awacino running unattended and gave Leo a Beam-in code. Now Leo and Zoe beam out from their tablet, see the soil moisture and switch the pump.
We are filming this tutorial right now. Until it is here, the parts of Awacino it uses are linked below - and you can try the same with two free slots.
What the tutorial will show
