Top Amateur IoT Projects with Arduino/Raspberry Pi - 2020

More and more the creation of amateur IoT (Internet of Things) projects is becoming viable, cheaper boards and parts allowing the wide access and development of community projects. I separated a list with some projects to inspire your projects in 2020! The project tutorials are in English, but nothing that the Google translation doesn’t count…

1. Door Lock with Face Recognition - Raspberry PI
