Summary

With this project, we successfully created a portable and deployable thermostat using Arduino, which monitors temperature, humidity, and ambient light. During this process, we assembled the thermostat sensor unit using the necessary components and developed custom Arduino program to support them. We also utilized Python programming methods including GUI development and plots using Tkinter and matplotlib libraries respectively. Later in the chapter, we utilized the Raspberry Pi to convert a mere project prototype into a practical application. Henceforth, you should be able to develop similar projects that require you to observe and visualize real-time sensor information.

Going forward, we will be expanding this project to accommodate upcoming topics such as Arduino networking, cloud communication, and remote monitoring. In the next level of the thermostat project, we will integrate these advanced features and make it a really resourceful DIY project that can be used in everyday life...
