I currently use a bunch of Phidgets devices with Berkinet’s excellent plugin. However, while this has proven easy to deploy and is very reliable, Phidgets is an expensive set. I’ve looked at Arduino prices and they seem to be much much cheaper, but I’m not sure how the ease of use, plugin support, reliability etc is. I’d like to avoid setting up scripts if possible. I’m looking at temp/humidity and digital I/O - relays.
Any thoughts?
