Description: This is my new favorite IoT project and I've been spending a ton of time adding all of my trigBoard projects to it and creating custom automations and scenes based on all kinds of events. If you haven't checked out Home Assistant yet, then I highly recommend throwing an image of it on a spare Pi just to mess around with it... you'll get the itch... trust me :) And make sure to also check out ESPhome as well for adding other sensors/plugs/lights/whatever, but trigBoard really shines due to its ultra low power and trigger front-end, but also the onboard nano amp RTC that let's you easily log sensor data at some interval. This is what I do with several boards to then log/visualize the data via influxDB and Grafana.
