How to monitor a sourdough starter with Grafana

Ivana Huckova shares her experience of creating an IoT project to monitor a sourdough starter using Grafana and various hardware components during the coronavirus lockdown. Inspired by Christine Sunu’s sourd.io, Huckova's project employs sensors to measure temperature, humidity, and the rise of the sourdough starter, collecting data with an ESP32 development board. The data is stored in an InfluxDB time series database and visualized in Grafana, allowing Huckova to track her starter's condition and potentially improve the quality of her bread. This project, designed to appeal to beginners in IoT development, includes detailed instructions for assembling the hardware and configuring the software, aiming to inspire others to explore similar creative projects.
