From idea to IoT data: building an environmental monitor with Adafruit Clue and Python

This post was originally published on officeofadamthede.com on April 8, 2025. I’m consolidating it here because the data this Clue has been quietly logging ever since became the dataset behind a bake-off post a year later — capture solved here, synthesis explored there.

Have you ever had an idea for a connected device, something that could sense the world around you and share that data? I recently embarked on such a journey, diving headfirst into the Internet of Things (IoT) with the goal of creating an environmental data logger using the versatile Adafruit Clue board. As someone relatively new to both IoT hardware projects and Python, this was an exciting, challenging, and ultimately very rewarding experience, made significantly faster and more manageable with the help of AI development tools.
