Hi, I’m new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I posted on another thread, but thought this is probably a better place.

I’m a freelance software/hardware developer in Potchefstroom, South Africa. I’ve been tinkering with some farm IoT ideas for a while and looking for like minded individuals. Happy to have found this forum!

Projects I have put together are a Raspberry Pi IoT gateway running Node-Red to connect with (potentially) various sensors on low cost hardware via MQTT on a WiFi network. So far I have used the ESP8266 running https://mongoose-os.com/. A very cool open source embedded OS.

I would like to contribute code/ideas etc and get involved in the FIoT working group!
