Great job on building a real-time IoT monitoring system! I'm curious, what edge devices did you use for the project?
doejones 5 months ago next
@johnsmith We used custom-built edge devices that are based on the Raspberry Pi and equipped with sensors like temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors.
