  • Before winter I wanted to build a thermostat thing to control my heating mainly in the interests of efficiency.

    I was looking at this which uses an Arduino:

    However I see @lynx did the same with a Raspberry Pi, did that work out? Or I could use the teensy thing posted above...

    Would be nice if I could interact with it from outside my house but I don't have a static IP, maybe a Twitter robot or something?

    Anyone done anything like this?

  • Teensy is Arduino gone nuts, really good microcontrollers but with the ease of use of arduino.
    If you're looking at web access, especially externally, I'd guess a Pi might be easier as you have all the networking functionality of the os

  • And it runs Arduino software, that's cool. I've got another project (which I started 4 years ago...) that uses an Arduino but the one I've got is a Duewhateverthefuck so a Teensy would be a massive upgrade, I think I'll get one.

    Seeing as I've already got a Pi-Hole going I suppose it makes sense to use that. I didn't actually know the Pi had IO pins...
