Getting Started with Machinechat’s JEDI One IoT Software | Digi-Key Electronics

In this tutorial, Shawn walks you through the process of setting up Machinechat’s JEDI One Internet of Things (IoT) server on a Raspberry Pi.
JEDI One is an IoT service that collects and timestamps incoming data. Unlike other similar services, it can be run on a home or office computer in a local network, giving you control of your data.
JEDI One can run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. However, we choose to show using it on a Raspberry Pi, as the Raspberry Pi is a small, low power computer that is easily turned into a headless Linux server.
Once JEDI One is set up on your server, you can create users and configure data collectors using a web portal. Data can be sent to these data collectors over HTTP (using POST requests).
Then, we construct a simple IoT sensor node using Arduino and an ESP8266 development board (the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH). We read temperature, humidity, and pressure data from a BME280. This information is packaged into a JSON string, which is then sent to the JEDI One server.
The JEDI One server can display a variety of charts and gauges to give users near-real-time status updates of their collection of sensors. In addition to looking at plots over time, you can upload a floor plan to your system view and add gauges on top of it to remind you where sensors are placed in your house, office, factory, farm, etc.

This made my day! I love that Shawn seems to be at the forefront of practical tech for makers. Exactly what the doctor ordered! Thanks.

[@ShawnHymel]

Thanks! I'm glad that you find the videos helpful :)

[@dustind3502]

This is a great learning video. Thanks for taking the time to help us out.

[@johnsagsveen8238]

Wow that's awesome that it is available at Digi-Key!

[@lernenmitrobin]

great work as usual!

[@eranfeit]

Thanks. Wonderful guide. I have a question. Can you recommend for a cloud iot data collector and dashboard that is “friendly” for learning ?

[@sunshinelabz]

Nice Was just curious how is it different from Mozilla web of things ? iot.mozilla.org/ Any major difference, pros n cons can you make video ? Thx

[@Good0Music0for0you]

Woow niceeee

[@danielv3228]

Is there an IOT system that allows for 2 way communication with a phone app thru the Pi to a remote 8266? Ex. A home wifi enabled thermostat. Thanks!
