Hey there,
I’m having a little trouble figuring out the right way to connect sensors on a Raspberry pi unit that isn’t the primary install location.
MySensors seems like an option but it’s design for wireless sensors, which I don’t have (yet).
Is there another option, or should I use that even with wired sensors?

I use this and highly recommend it:
Expose GPIO modules (Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, PCF8754, PiFace2 etc.) and digital sensors (LM75 etc.) to an MQTT server for remote control and monitoring. - flyte/pi-mqtt-gpio
It has been running without issue for over a year on two raspis. I only use it for the GPIO (binary sensors and outputs) but I see that it now supports a range of sensors.

Thanks. I am currently using my own python code for my sensors connected to my pi and will check this out
