I have been away from the scene for a couple of years (House rennovations etc)
Now I have reinstalled my RAK2245 Pi GW and a couple of sensors, Water temperature and flow rates, and got a bit of data flowing.
My question is what options do I have for displaying this data on a “Site” would something like Datacake suite my needs or would you recommend something else, I would only be looking to use around 5 to 10 sensors for water monitoring etc. The sensors are homebuilt Arduino units.
The end result would be to go to a dashboard and view the data from the sensors like water inlet flow, temperature , tank levels , consumption and run-off
how tech savvy you are (which sounds like you are)
how much effort you want to put it vs. how custom you want things
how much of a cost tolerance you have.
There are a few options:
Free + fully custom, but highest effort to integrate (Grafana)
Not free ($10 per month for 10 devices), and fair number of options (https://thingsboard.io) - community edition is free, but I don’t recall the limitations there.
KaaIoT is another option (➤ IoT Dashboards | IoT Solution Templates | Kaa IoT Cloud) but last time I used them they were a bit more limited than things board and did not have a free option. It seems they do have a free option now though.
