Also look at Blynk or Adafruit IO if you want something simpler than AWS. These platforms are specifically designed for maker projects and much easier to setup. AWS IoT is powerful but has steep learning curve if you're beginner. I use Adafruit IO for my home sensors and its working great.

For personal projects I would recommend starting with AWS IoT Core. They have free tier which gives you 250k messages per month which should be more than enough for home automation. Documentation is pretty good and there are tons of tutorials available. Google Cloud IoT was actually deprecated last year so dont go with that.
User: DevOps_Learner_2024 Hi everyone, I'm working on a home automation project using ESP32 and want to connect multiple sensors and devices. Which IoT platform is best - AWS IoT, Google Cloud IoT or Azure IoT? I need something that's not too expensive for personal project and has good documentation. Any suggestions?
