Integrating MySensors Data with a Custom Website Dashboard

[David Jenkins]

Hi community,

I’m currently working on a project where I use MySensors to collect data from multiple sensors at home (temperature, humidity and motion). I want to display this sensor data in a custom website dashboard for easier monitoring and control.

Here’s my setup:

MySensors nodes: temperature and motion sensors

Gateway: Raspberry Pi

Website: I’m planning a custom website and want it to be user-friendly and responsive

My main questions:

What’s the best way to send MySensors data to a web server for live display?

Are there libraries or frameworks you recommend for visualizing sensor data effectively on a website?

Any tips on designing the website dashboard so it’s both functional and visually appealing?

Any advice, best practices or resources from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

You'd have to implement the serial protocol. But in all honesty why would you put in all that effort while Domoticz and Home Assistent already do it and support many more type of different protocols?

I concur with @TheoL, though I understand the desire to have better control over your interface. The MySensors serial interface is well documented. You might consider MQTT as a transport mechanism. MQTT Explorer allows you to view the data which makes debugging easier.

Good luck with your project.
