πŸ”Œ Connecting a Device

Any device on your home network can send sensor data to the Pi's MQTT broker. Publish to a topic like devices/your-device-name/sensors with a JSON payload:

// Arduino / M5Stack (PubSubClient) client.publish("devices/m5stick-1/sensors", "{\"temp\":22.4,\"humidity\":58,\"battery\":87}" );

Node-RED listens, processes, and makes it available to this dashboard via the Pi proxy. Device cards appear automatically once data is received.
