Bouw je eigen Facebook chatbot met Chatfuel

Ik heb nog geen tijd gehad om zelf te spelen met Chatfuel, maar ik vond het voorbeeld dat My Electronics Lab gerealiseerd had met Chatfuel interessant genoeg voor een blogpost. Chatfuel is een (gratis) online dienst waarmee je zo te zien relatief eenvoudig een Facebook chatbot kunt bouwen. Die chatbot herkent de teksten die een gebruik intypt en reageert daar dan op.

TTN + MQTT + Node-RED + MySQL = local backup of your LoRaWAN data

Because, although I had used the WiFi (and of course LoRA) capabilities of the LoPy a lot, I had not yet played with its BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) capabilities.

I had little luck with the DHT11 temperature/moisture sensor (one of the drawbacks of MicroPython over regular Arduino code is the lack of libraries) and didn’t have any I2C sensors lying around. But I did of course still had […]
