5 Easy IoT Projects you can do! With Particle Photon

[@mbrew345]

I would like to see videos on the thermostat and house power usage

[@650Wendy]

This is awesome! I used to wish I knew how to do so many of the things you designed when watching your vlog and now you are providing tutorials! I would love to see tutorials on everything you covered here, Joe. I’m looking forward to more videos.

[@warrense1]

Excellent video, I’ve been waiting for somebody like you! You’re doing all of the things that I’m interested in… I’ve been dabbling in electronics for 40 years… But unfortunately still dabbling. I’m recently retired and hope to have more time and a place very soon to dedicate to all of my hobbies, ( or new priorities in life!) I very much look forward to your instructional videos… your error checking and a word you mentioned in the barcode reading segment about your code being very robust appeals to me. I don’t want to have to be constantly monitoring and resetting all of these little projects that I have planted all over my house. But don’t sacrifice much-needed rest and sleep for the upcoming videos. Don’t burn yourself out… We can be patient, your family is number one! Thanks again, Steve I just noticed this was posted nine months ago… I hope you come back Joe! Do you have an amazing demeanor for this!

[@Bluesjanet]

We enjoyed your video. And I watch your chicken cam. No place to make a comment. Can I do that here? I just wanted to suggest removing the dividers in the nesting box. The chickens have no concept nor expectation of privacy. It was difficult to see them crowd into the same box. I think just one big area for them would make them more comfortable and it would cause less stress for them (since they WANT to all lay their eggs in the same box!)

[@gnvdude]

Too bad Joe just stopped making Photon videos. Great video. Good presenter.

[@almcpherson233]

Please do a video on the thermostat and the current mon. And how to talk to the fridge. Thanks and I really appreciate your enthusiasm.

[@ChaseGouldMMA]

Can you post a more detailed video of the breaker box power monitor? I’d love to implement that project in my home!

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

Great start! I'd like to see details on all your projects, esp. the barcode reader and the energy monitor.

[@wolfrobots118]

Yes! More tutorials please. You're very good at it.

[@charlottechan0507]

This is awesome!!! Keep it long or short, I wouldn’t skip a second! Thank you Joe!

[@cubicleight]

More videos please 😀

[@G8rRay]

Although you haven't posted an individual Particle project in more than a year and if you are still monitoring this channel, maybe you could develop a Particle solution for monitoring and recording a well pump, for potable water, running and a flow meter for the amount of water pumped. And, maybe, adding remote control of an irrigation pump (that might be pressure drop control or flow control; i.e., either a drop in pressure or a detection of flow would turn on the pump with no flow turning off the pump). Thanks for considering the project.

[@BelvidereGuy]

Joe, great video. I caught at the very end that you've got one setup as a sump monitor? I'd be really interested if you did a video on that! I'm diving into the world of Photon and am hoping to turn one into a DIY sump monitor too

[@voice4voicelessKrzysiek]

By all means, please do tutorials on all these projects! I would love to learn how to use the Particle Photon but more generally, I would like to play with IoT.

[@DARARobot]

I would love to see more about the power usage in my house.

[@tecjunky222]

Great Job! Have done several of these same projects but not with wireless, so this started me thinking. Curious about some details, server, code, etc. I assume server meant SQL, but not sure. Thanks again for putting this together!

[@melenaativea87]

Finally! Been waiting on your channel since watching Laura in the kitchen and the vitales

[@iron2steel]

Would you do a video on the Keurig?

[@lens9401]

I like the bar code reader. Everyone is on a diet these days. Could you use this to keep track of the calories a person eats to keep your weight under control?

[@eduardoarevalo3208]

Thanks Joe, cool stuff! hopefully you will posting more cool ideas

[@gregpowers8095]

Looks like the Photon is in very limited supply and possibly replaced with the particle Argon.

[@PatrickMeskell]

​Hey Joe, quick question, what motor have you to raise and lower the chicken coop gate? thanks in advance

[@centre8212]

Liked the video! Please do one on the home energy sensors and program. Thank you..

[@mwest3583]

The biggest problems with Keurig are: - makes crap coffee - more single-use plastic

[@furiousfellow1583]

loved the thirsty plant, really would be awesome to have a tutorial on it :)

[@russrockino-rr0864]

Hey Joe! Where do you get those nice plastic project cases? Great video, cool projects. Thanks, Russ

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

I could've swore ODBII could get odometer information. Seem to recall mechanic's level odbII readers could get the data.

[@zwhirlwhorled7570]

Am interested in environmental controls in greenhouse mangement. Had semester of that, unit was hard to understand. Can lose a lot of profit real quick with malfunction of automated louvers. Think there maybe a market for this for homeowners that want a more sofistacated cold frame for home gardening. Thermostat that could communicate to phone would help gardener maintain ideal temp.

[@jeffchen8460]

Good job! These projects are really practical and innovative. Keep going!

[@mistervacation23]

👈Joe knows all the words to "Ain't that a kick in the head".

[@CarlGolden]

like the video. I would like to see more on the OBDII port chip. I want to build something in the car to read some data and display on a small screen. maybe report some data to my phone. depends on what data is available. anyway like the concepts

[@michaellafond2238]

Enjoyed this video. Hope you make more soon!

[@DutchKC9UOD]

Great video worked with a UNIX main frame with PLCs in 1975 this reduces the cost by 10,000%. Looking forward to using this to automate my home without a cloud, using a VPN to my home servers

[@petermacdonald8479]

I feel like this channel is going places and I'm just excited to be one of the first ones to see it.

[@juliablack13]

i’d love a video on all them 👍

[@robertlongoria765]

Hi Joe we would like to see some more videos..they are very good. also would like to see the code for the watering sensor it looks like it will be easier than the esp32. Can you give us some code for the watering sensor and if you could also make something that uses the mesh protocol I don't know how this could be used in real life. Thanks again.

[@JoeDidItTV]

Once the holiday excitement winds down I’ll get some more content up! I’m hosting some family from out of the country until the 9th. Excited to dive in some more!

[@robertlongoria765]

@@JoeDidItTV Thanks your tuts are among the best!

[@AngellXP]

Code would certainly be great. Awesome projects!

[@nkdigitalsignage8912]

Hello Great video. I would like to have a go at the moisture sensor. I have got all the bits .can you please share the code. Thanks

[@sparkymarkm322]

3:06 kept you off the streets (mostly) :-) Man I sure would like to see that DS18B20 code!

[@Inquire98]

"Thank You", thank you very much ☺️ I would like to build ALL the projects in this video 😎

[@big_guy9604]

Thanks Joe, Does most Arduino stuff work with the Particle Photon? ie: sensors, relays servos etc?

[@spu3]

Hi Joe, I am interested in weather protection for the Relay Shield. What enclosure were you showing in the video?

[@JoeDidItTV]

I use the polycase WH series enclosures. I have about 100 of these in greenhouse and outdoor environments and have had no issues. I always install them using cable glands for the wires with cable glands pointing down. If you install the cable glands on the side or top, when the box cools (sun sets) the air will compress inside sucking in water.

[@spu3]

@@JoeDidItTV Thank you!

[@terranwoods7503]

Awesome video!!

[@cubicleight]

Great topics! More please.

[@Emily_Hurley]

@Joe Did It What is your cover photo of, and curious why it says 'Joe Did It' ?

[@Who5tealmynamE]

Hey Joe Could I ask you more about the bar code reader via e mail, Im a electronics student from Finland, and I'm very interested in creating my own reader as a part of my schools innovation course. Atte

[@Gygqfip]

Very nice quality for sub-1000 channel. Liked, subscribed, commented. Let the youtube algorithm be with you.

[@David-lt7ko]

Why is this on Google ads

[@JoeDidItTV]

Where did you see it? Pre-roll? Or on the related videos section?

[@BharatMohanty]

Best of luck !! Tip - don't make lengthy videos,duration should be between 7-15 minutes.👍

[@JoeDidItTV]

Yeah I know I rambled quite a bit lol. I actually run my wife’s channel with 3M subs so I should know better!

[@JoeDidItTV]

Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@LeddingtonGuitars]

@@JoeDidItTV Your video is 20 mins... hardly a marathon.... all good son, thanks for sharing.

[@mickyfranks]

What software are you using to build casa.joe?

[@JoeDidItTV]

Casa.joe is written mostly in php (all the backend workings of it). The front end is JavaScript. To interface with my Z-Wave and Insteon devices, I use the isy994i controller because it has both technologies (z wave and Insteon). Then casa.joe communicates with the isy994i via the LAN. I also communicate with various other devices around the house such as an alarm panel using a network card that I installed on the panel, WiFi thermostats using their API and also RTSP streams from IP cameras. Additionally, there’s a MySQL database which stores info about the endpoints and some data for logging. The energy monitor talks to casa.joe which updates this database with power usage. I think I’ll have a video series on this soon. The reason for going with both Insteon and z wave rather than one or the other is because there are things I like about both technologies and you can’t get all the hardware from one or the other.

[@mickyfranks]

@@JoeDidItTV Would definitely be interested that video series. I like how everything is centralized to one interface rather multiple apps and needing internet to be able to access them. The applications I would like to use this internet is not always accessible and being unable to use it when your internet is down by LAN is accessible is frustrating.

[@dariodraws7495]

On ur first vid u did great

[@azazer1700]

cool videos! keep it going :)

[@SV-bs7mw]

Jose do it

[@smartassist9700]

Build all and show each step slowly. Describe parts each time. List website where to buy each component, if you write code, post below that video or provide website storage matching code with video number and name. To fast and we can't learn or lose a step. Explain boards , where to solder wire , etc. I want to combine with my automation. If I get cheap video equipment to make video, we can share project builds. With each other and viewers.

[@floridaman8200]

Who’s Joe?

[@rottison]

looks like the channel is dead or unresposive

[@gregpowers8095]

To bad as the videos received a LOT of views and content was informative

[@JoeDidIt]

cmon man xD
