Hi,
I am currently experimenting with Pi Zero W, which is a Raspberry Pi board with minimal configuration and has a very small form factor and has wifi.
Raspberry Pi is a good generic board. But for specific applications like Home Automation etc. we probably don't need a generic board. As of now we could think of only few functions that the board must support. Example,
- Switch on/off something
- Report status
- Support for external sensors
- Low power (must survive a couple of months without charging)
If anyone of you have worked on similar applications then please suggest me some alternates. I want a really tiny system to be fixed into a cabinets along with 3-4 sensors and battery.
Regards.
