Raspberry Pi 3+ Sensors:

• DHT11
• LDR
• MCP3008 (To read analog data of the LDR)

NPM/Node

Installation

1. Download Ganache

2. Start a local blockchain network in Ganache

3. Clone this repo

4. Check if you have the contract in /build

5. In /frontend, change the .env.example to .env and fill in the details. Also run npm install!

6. Set up your RPI, clone this repo and run the server.
