At Yoctopuce, we even have several that we use every day to monitor various experiments. But when we stumbled across SeeedStudio's reTerminal, we were keen to test it out to see if it could be used as an alternative.

Advanced use of Home Assistant

In our series of posts on using Yoctopuce modules with Home Assistant, we're going to show you how to integrate the more advanced functions of Yoctopuce modules, which are not directly offered by MQTT discovery. This will enable you, for example, to control a Neopixel RGB LED panel from Home Assistant, display information on an external Yoctopuce screen, or control an external device via an RS-485 link.
