Arduino Packages

Extra Bits That We Will Be Using

We’re going to need 4 extra packages for building the kit:

  1. ezTime, to get the current time when it turns on
  2. MQTT, to send data over the internet
  3. ArduinoJson, to format data for our dashboard connection
  4. Seeed_Arduino_AHT20, to connect to the temperature board

Finding the Library Manager

To locate the Library Manager, click on the third icon on the left side that looks like a stack of books.
