Alternatives to FreeBoard.io that can use Dweet.io (or similar)

Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:13 am

Hey folks

I have recently been having a smashing play around with the RPi SenseHat and successfully configured it to send it's ambient conditions data up to Dweet.io. Whilst so doing, I spotted that with Freeboards.io one is able to create aesthetically pleasing and meaningful dashboards.

Now... I think the way my small RPi hobby is progressing, that I am probably likely to find a use for one such dashboard, and wouldn't mind paying the $12 monthly fee they ask for, however, as I only found the sweet.io and freeboard.io services after watching a very informative yet 3 yr old YouTube video on data and the sense hat, are there other alternatives to these two services that I should look at?

Certainly not planning on being a heavy user, so probably services who offer smaller plans would be better suited to my needs.

Any suggestions folks?

I've never used it, but https://www.datadoghq.com seems to be another provider in the same niche.

Hey, freeboard has a few cheaper options, including a free forever option.

For $3/month, you can sign up through AWS:

Or for free, you can host your own dashboards on your own server:
