How to Automate Anything At Home With Ignition Maker Edition

Home: Illinois, United States of America

See how to use the free version of Inductive Automation's powerful industrial SCADA/MES program, Ignition to automate just about anything in your home! Ignition Maker Edition is a fully featured version (with minor limitations) of the software that allows you to control and automate non-commercial projects ie: a home automation project that could expand into IoT, robotics, and more. And you can collect data to display however you wish! I'll share a few of my own Ignition Maker Edition projects to show how this software isn't just for factory/industrial automation with my inventory system for DIY project components, and my Meshtastic MQTT data project that lets me track my nodes on a map (and save location info) from radio adventures. Build Ignition experience for your career too.

What Inspired You to Make This?

I love using the full version of the Ignition SCADA/MES software at work and began to brainstorm ways that I could use it's functionality to extend a number of home projects.
