Game-changing technologies like the Nest learning thermostat have added some much needed transparency to the space. Enthusiasts can now design and develop their own hardware for controlling the temperature in their home. The go-to hardware for such a project is the Arduino controller.
What Is Arduino?
Arduino is an open-source hardware and software system that consists of an easily programmable circuit board, known as a microcontroller. The system also includes software to be run on a computer. Arduino allows users to create devices that can sense and interact with their environment both physically and digitally.
New possibilities for the casual tinkerer
These projects should provide an idea of how Arduino can be a great entry point to what was once an inaccessible part of home control. Arduino is a great learning tool and an even better gateway to new programming projects. If you’re interested in other project for Arduino, look into ideas like Arduino motion sensor projects or Arduino thermostats projects.
