Long time lurker, always wanted an excuse to get one to tinker with and now I think is maybe the time?
So where I work, we have a network rack in an "out building" (it has power, ethernet and WIFI) BUT we have no way to know the temperature inside the rack - so was thinking to get one of these Espruino boards and a couple temp sensors to report to a our monitor server (Zabbix for those interested).
However this raises a few questions, the boards themselves don't have WIFI or Ethernet capabilities and finding what's needed to give this boards the capabilities seems a bit of a mixed bag.
So, what does one need to purchase (obviously the board and temp sensors) to get this project going?
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

I'm in the UK if that helps too :)
