Newb; What components do I need to get PH and EC readings to a home assistant server on Pi4?

Postby oryan2 » Sat May 01, 2021 5:55 pm

Hello,

I'm incredibly new to this stuff and I'm trying to figure out if it would be possible to get PH and EC readings sent from an ESP32 to a Pi4 running a Home Assistant server. I already have the Pi4 and the analog PH and EC meters and sensors. They are the kits from DFRobot. I just don't know how to get them all to talk to each other. I may be in over my head here. I have more ideas but am happy starting there.

Thanks,

Ryan

You would normally use something like MQTT on ESP-IDF or Arduino. However, you're not the first one trying to connect an ESP32 to HAS; there already are pre-made solutions. Your best bet may be to use something that is pre-built to work with it, like ESPHome.
