What is room-assistant? A quick explainer
The room-assistant app takes presence detection to the next level. It not only tracks whether you are home, but in which room you are currently in.
Release date: October, 2021
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a compact, yet powerful device designed in the UK with a custom-built system-in-package, the RP3A0. The device features a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1GHz and 512 MB of SDRAM, making it up to five times as fast as the original Raspberry Pi Zero. The Zero 2 W comes with a built-in wireless LAN in a shielded enclosure for improved RF compliance, making it flexible for different designs. Its tiny size of 65 mm × 30 mm makes it perfect for a variety of smart home applications and IoT projects, such as security cameras and Bluetooth speakers. Like the original, the Zero 2 W also features a mini HDMI port, a micro USB port, and a micro USB power port.
