Generic Micropython based IoT Device (ESP8266/ESP32) - Configurable via https://github.com/hacklabza/iotserver
- esptool.py
- screen (OSX)
- ampy
Either a manual install or commandline install is available - the cli is recommended. Once this is done, head over to the iotserver and create the device.

}I.e. The solenoid relay will switch on if the soil moisture returns dry, the time is between 07:00 and 15:00, it will not rain today and tomorrow, the temperature is above 10 and it is not currently raining or it has been toggled on by via MQTT (override).
