Home Assistant on linux with arduino and RPi

1

Hey All,
So I have HA running on an Ubuntu 18 machine as I could not get the Pi Zero version of Hassio working. I am using an Arduino Uno for the DIY smart home gear and want to use a DHT11 sensor with it but I can’t use it with HA’s Arduino component. So my next thought was to use the pi with MQTT on it but I could not get it working.

Am I being dumb?
Someone help

Why can’t you use the arduino component?

3

there is no way to use the dht11 sensor and the only component in the repo is for the pi

4

The arduino component uses the firmata firmware, which appears to support dht11. Also it is not restricted to pi, so I am not sure where you are getting your info.

5

i couldn’t get HA / arduino to use it as a sensor as it isnt an analog signal

Ok I see the problem. I don’t think my suggestion is going to work.

I think a wemos d1 or similar with tasmota would work.

esphomelib would also work.
