This is a really cool idea. I bet scenic could help visualize/control it. I’m putting this on my list for after christmas.

Awwwwwwwesome!!! I can’t wait!!! Please keep us posted! I reckon it could be quite a lucrative market too 
‘Nerves’ is such a fantastic connection too - you could all it Nervonics 
I keep meaning to get a Phillips Hue set - but all of the ‘light shows’ I have seen with it seem pretty rubbish tbh

I was thinking of making it larger, but it would be pretty slow. Basically i have a phoenix app hosted by gigalixir’s free tier, and the nerves device is just sending raw bas64 encoded jpegs over phoenix channels, and replacing an <img> tag’s src attribute. I think to make it much bigger, i’d have to build out a real stream somehow.

I would really like to create a air pollution monitor that sends data back to a central server. Probably using a raspberry pi and a PM2.5 sensor.
I work/live in a city with major pollution issues and this might just be the push needed to get my company to get us air filters in the office.

This is a really interesting idea.

For about $35 dollars, you can get this sensor and a PI to drive it. I’d love to see some distributed stats being reported!

I am hoping to start a project that was asked about during my ElixirConf '18 talk. It’s a Phoenix app for projects to send their data to, and provides some basic stats/graphing/etc. End of December I might start streaming my progress on Twitch.

Feel free to ping me when you get to this. We are hoping to make Nerves Hub able to delegate auth for this kind of thing and this would be a great way to field test it.
