Port to Esp8266 #53

Hi

How hard would it be to port this to Esp8266 and transmitting data to MQTT? It could use Telegraf and InfluxDB after that.

Sort of like this project.

Esp8266 seems to run an OS, FreeRTOS, that can support perl. Getting access to an RS-485 also seems within reach on the platform.

But look at the cost of a USB-serial and a small RPI board, and look at the maybe 100 hours spent tinkering with hardware and software. I realize now, that the previous sentence may be read as both a warning and a recommendation.

Have fun!

Ok - that makes sense :-)
