Update: Check out my latest version of this project WIoT-2<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a project that I have been wanting to do for some time. \u00a0Since the marrying\u00a0of IoT with microcontrollers, the world of cloud-connected devices \"IMG_1473\"<\/a>has taken off. \u00a0I had a hard time naming this thing because its sort of a swiss army knife of IoT. \u00a0I keep coming up with new ideas as to what to connect to and control. \u00a0 \u00a0I’ve done other similar projects (like\u00a0my garage door monitor \/ opener<\/a> project), but this is the first complex project that I’ve embarked on. \u00a0(BTW – It also now integrates that garage controller I just mentioned!)<\/p>\n

All too often, we are in a rush to get out the door (kids school, soccer games, dance etc). \u00a0We often want to know what the weather is or I want\u00a0a status update on other things (i.e – hot tub temperature). \u00a0I\u00a0wanted something that was (BAM!) in our faces, at the door and had the info right there.\u00a0I also wanted to be able to expand on it. \u00a0 \u00a0A few wifi enabled controllers, some sensors, an LCD and other bits later, and WIoT was born. \u00a0Read on for details… \u00a0BTW, I am also interested in knowing if there is a market for such a thing. \u00a0Drop me a line if you have ideas or are interested…<\/p>\n

So, what does it do you ask? \u00a0Lots!<\/p>\n
