Progress Update

November 4, 2022

Done setting up Esspressif Device
- We Done Setting up an ESP device with mockup sensor ( Potentiometer )
  - At first we sending data to the MQTT Broker on Host device
  - Its works perfectly fine, But if the host machine is offline, Data can’t be send to the database
- So, we decided to move to public MQTT Broker
  - By this method, database can receive data without by passing to the MQTT host machine ( Linux Laptop in this case )
Done setting up Zigbee MQTT device
- On the host machine, We done setting up Zigbee2MQTT like we done in the practice session. To the smart device we prefer, The smart plug Socket in this case.
Setting up new host device on ubuntu
- As we already said, We have host machine for some services on Linux Laptop insted of Rasperry Pi SBC
  - Why we Dont use Raspberry Pi
    - From our Experience, The Pi itself like to stop working and freeze all the time and its ruin our work progress
    - This can cause from many ways,
      - Maybe we ssh login from too many devices ( Two Client at most )
      - Maybe the power adapter is not sufficient for the board itself
      - Maybe the hardware itself is outdated when compared to the newer version of software
  - So, One of us decided to dedicate his old laptop to be a host machine
    - We decided to use Linux : Ubuntu Desktop Distribution for a new OS on the machine
- Setup node red
- Setup Zigbee2MQTT
- Setup MQTT Broker
  - Yep we already done it but, lastly
  - We moved to Public MQTT Broker
