The full story
A full temperature-monitoring pipeline: one real ESP32 with a DS18B20 sensor plus 19 simulated sensors, an MQTT broker, TimescaleDB storing about 1.7 million readings a day and a Grafana dashboard that alerts the moment a threshold is crossed. Claude generated the firmware, back-end code and dashboard configuration.
The prompts used are shared; the video is partly sponsored by the database host.
