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

I had an Adafruit Clue on the desk, a board packed with sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, and light. I wanted it to read the air in my office every few minutes and put the numbers somewhere I could use them. I was new to IoT hardware and close to new at Python. The AI tools did a lot of the work.
