Summary
In this chapter, we saw how to build a simple thermostat using the Raspberry Pi Zero board. We were able to make a thermostat that can generate its own interface and we are able to set the target temperature of the thermostat via this interface.
You can of course already use what you learned in this project, and adapt it to a heater you have in your home. I recommend you first try it on a portable heater, and then to install it on an actual heater on your wall, if you are feeling confident with your project.
In the following chapter, we will look in more detail at how to control appliances from your Raspberry Pi, such as LEDs, lamps, and other appliances you could have in your home.
