Has any developers that have a RPi thought about a way to get data from the GPIO into HE ?

I've thought about it and I have a couple of ideas, but nothing implemented. For those skilled in coding, there's a Python websocket server floating around GitHub that could be used with the pyGPIO project to expose the GPIO data back to HE. One would just need to write a driver/app for HE to creat…

I see a lot of potential in this feature. I know many RPi owners that use sensors for many home applications like soil moisture, temp and humidity that could be used in RM.

I asked Dan if it would connect to a pi and get data from a DHT11.

I have. But, I don't think it applies to the RPi unless Dan made some changes to it recently. For my idea, I'm using 3 RPis as reef controllers (using ReefPi). Currently, I can poll data off of them via an API call, but it's a poll and not a push. So, for my temp probe sitting on GPIO12, I can't get…

If you already have the RPi and are using it, the OPs question makes sense. If starting from scratch few people would use an RPi for sensor input, and would go the ESP/other small board + hubduino route.

I know. I was being sarcastic (again). :smiley: I totally get what you mean though. Honestly, if I could easily port ReefPi over to an Arduino based system, I would do it in a heartbeat.

You've seen HubDuino?
