What is it?
A Raspberry Pi and custom python software to read devices, and then publish to my home network. Primarily intended to gather and collect data around the house, and then communicate that back to me in meaningful ways.
How Long has this script been around?
My first git commit for homepi started in 2016. SInce then, this script has evolved to reading multiple devices in a distributed and OO fashion.
Why?
Learning
The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic platform to learn both software AND hardware. You must have a basic knowledge of electrical concepts, but additionally, the know-how to author scripts to read, and then utilize that content.
