Home Server Environmental monitoring
-
I've been out of programming for about 30+years, and never really into IoT, buy not after seeing what SSP32's can do, thanks to DavesGarage a YouTube Channel, I like to start a project I had in mind for a little while no, but of course I no idea where to start.
I like to setup up environmental monitoring my home server room, I been using a red alert setup, however, it's quite underwhelming and seems flaky as best, so i like to make a suitable replacing, I like to monitor
- 3 Independent power (on/off and voltage)
- Outside/Inside Temperature and humidity
- 3 ESXI Servers (Heartbeat)
- Several IPs can be pinged.
- Door Open/Closed (read switch already in place)
- like to use the light tower if possible the rest is disposable,
- Ethernet network connectivity.
- Battery backup just in case.
- with Information compiled to a json file
- I like basic stats shown on a 10"+ LCD with the server room
I would appreciate any pointer, be gentle it my first time :)

That sounds like a great project, peter2cfu! Building an environmental monitor with an M5Stack is a perfect way to get started with IoT. The light tower sounds like a cool addition for a quick visual status check. There are some great tutorials out there for M5Stack and ESP32 that should help you get going with the sensors and coding. Good luck
