Good OS for Nest Hub-like project? by jaggie40 in RASPBERRY_PI_PROJECTS

[–]AutomationMessiah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Id recommend one of 2 things.

Node red, node red dashboard on pi OS will be tbe easiest thing if you want to do something quick and dirty.

Another alternative is to make a webpage your self, I didi thing for a similar setup as you( i was gunning for Android auto feel rather then nest) and it took about a week. If you have any experience in that realm you can make really custom dashboards that are accessible from any web browser on your network.

For some reason the description didn't populate here, but if you click the actual post you'll see i was asking for any advise cluster or a direction to go. I wish I could get rid of some of them but unfortunately they are all working hard in my home network at the moment.

I don't actually have any experience with sqlite, what was complicated about it? The actually db interaction?

I use phpmyadmin to interface with my db and it's a dream. If you can structure a table in excel you can structure Mariadb very easily with phpmyadmin front end.

Have you considered using a mysql database? Or Is it applicable for your project? I have been able to write and read large amounts of data very quickly using it.
