IOT Platform recommandation

Development Tools Cloud IoT
1

Hello,

I have set up a temperature sensor (bme280) who send information to adafruit io and it’s working well.

Now I would like to find a similar mqtt (?) platform who can receive my datas which is not limited to 100 entries ( 24 per days and for 2 months so about 1500 per feed), and ideally that is free and open source :blush:

Not sure such thing exists but maybe you have in mind a platform you can recommend ?

I’m ok to pay a little if there is no other solution.

I was very interested in the Arduino IOT cloud but it looks like each feed need to be connected to a selection of hardware and I only have Arduino Uno + Ethernet shield.

Thank you :blush:

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that serves as my MQTT Broker.

You can load MQTT Broker onto a computer and have the computer be your Broker.

Looks like a good idea. Looks challenging for a newbie. But I will losing the Dashboard.

I can run Mosquitto on my synology.

But my current code works with Adafruit libraries, I assume I will have to rework the whole stuff or does the MQTT protocols are 100% standard regardless the broker ?

How do you recover the datas ? Can you make excel exports ?

Check out Node-Red.

The Raspberry Pi, puts the data into a dB for storage.

I second @Idahowalker suggestion. I setup Node-Red locally to test it out prior to my exploring of Arduino's IOT Cloud. Node-Red is easy to setup and this person I found had some great initial starter tutorials:

Thank you both for your answers.

I have changed my mind a bit and now would like data to be stored on local sd card. I need a lot of devices that won’t necessarily be connected to local network.

Will make a new thread as I have complete different issues.
