Chapter 4Networking a Temperature Monitor

Now that you have your IT Infrastructure in a Box configured and ready to accept inbound data, you can begin building your first home automation project: a networked temperature monitor. This project will use the Raspberry Pi Pico W’s onboard temperature sensor to report the current ambient temperature around the sensor. The Pico W will then communicate with the Raspberry Pi that is running the Prometheus server that you set up previously to poll a web server running on the Pico W. This web server will provide these temperature values in both Celsius and Fahrenheit measurement metrics.
