ADABOX018: There's No Place Like Home
There's no place like home... and if you're like us you've spent a lot of time at home over the past year. It almost feels like a whirlwind picked us up and flew us to a strange world, and we've had to adapt to all these new customs when really we want to return to how life used to be. And, maybe, slowly, we're starting to make our way back. Until that day, we can stay at home and tinker with electronics.
This ADABOX is all about home projects, with the FunHouse development board. It's powered with an ESP32-S2 WiFi chip that can run CircuitPython or Arduino, so its easy to make Internet-connected sensors. And sensors are plentiful in this box, with lots of home automation-friendly sensor modules that you can plug right into the FunHouse.
Whether it's tracking the environmental temperature and humidity in your laundry room, or notifying you when someone is detected in the kitchen, to sensing when a window was left open, or logging when your cat leaves through the pet door, this ADABOX is designed to make it way easy to make WiFi-connected home automation projects.
A huge thank you to Digi-Key for going above-and-beyond to help support Adafruit over the last year. Digi-Key's support made this box possible, check out the millions of sensors and devices they have stocked at digikey.com that you can use to automate your home!
