In an article by Machinechat’s Daryl Miller, developers can learn how to build a basic universal sensor hub and incorporate professional data monitoring and visualization without having to spend days or weeks coding.

This project can be completed with components and software that can be purchased for less than $100. In approximately 30 minutes (give or take), you’ll be able to create an easily adaptable sensor hub that can be used to monitor humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure, or anything you want.

The Machinechat article, 30 Minutes or Less: Build A Universal Sensor Hub and Monitor Anything You Want with a Raspberry Pi, provides a step-by-step procedure on how to build your own sensor hub and get it up and running quickly.

Your completed sensor hub will allow you to easily collect and deliver sensor data in the form of professional real-time and historical data dashboards, as well as establish rules for generating alerts and notifications when environmental conditions change.
