WordPress with embedded systems
-
I’m currently a senior at my university undergoing and senior capstone design project and I’m hopeful that I can use wordpress to implement the functionality I need. First, I plan to host a wordpress website on a Raspberry Pi. This raspberry pi will be communicating with an ESP32 micro controller via MQTT on a LAN. The ESP32 will be continuously sending sensor data to the Raspberry Pi which will then store that data on a SQL data and display it on a web page. From the web page, the use can do several things such as:
1: Choose when the ESP32 should turn on a motor or not
2: Choose what data to display
3: Display any errors received from the ESP32and other things, but you get the idea! I know wordpress is an amazing web development tool, and if I need to do any custom scripting work, I am familiar with web development so I may be able to manage. If anyone here has experience with electronics/embedded design, do you think this is definitely manageable? I’ve tried researching this topic, but I have yet to see someone doing something similar to this with wordpress. This is definitely an IoT project, but less working with generic IoT products like a Nest and more communicating/configuring a microcontroller on another end.
Thank you!

That’s awesome! So that almost confirms that I’m good to go, except for one thing. Since this is all on a local network, I’m not so sure that I’ll be able to use the wordpress api since I won’t have internet access. I’m looking to see if they have some sort of local cloud, but do you know if I will be able to or not?
