Read IO data with a pyportal

Post by Kidkill »

Hello, is is possible to post sensor data to adafruit IO with a device like the funhouse then display that info on a device like the pyportal? I have figured out how to connect the funhouse to IO and post data, but not how to display that info other than on the web browser. Is there a guide I am not finding for displaying that info on a device?

This should have what you need. You may need to cut out a few bits you don't need, but the important stuff's there, https://learn.adafruit.com/pyportal-pet ... code-setup

Also, if you want to just display it on the FunHouse (and PyPortal, when I get around to adding support), check out this library that does all the heavy lifting of creating the UI and setting callback functions: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Ci ... sh_Display

dherrada, thank you for your response. I'm not sure if these will do what I am looking to do, but I could be wrong. I'm looking to put a device such as the funhouse in the garage to collect sensor data and post it to IO, then have another device in the house to display that info. I don't know if IO can even be used in this way, but it seems like it might. Are the examples you've shared showing me how to do this, and I am just missing something?

Thanks
