Building new weather stations: ESP, ESPHome and Arduino
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- I had a weather station which I wanted to redesign and break it into two different station measuring different weather data. This video is about the build of these two weather stations.
Temperature Station ESPHome file: github.com/nygma2004/km/blob/...
secrets.yaml is a simple file like this:
wifi_ssid: "xxx"
wifi_password: "xxx"
ota_password: "xxx"
mqtt_ip: "192.168.1.xx"
mqtt_user: "xx"
mqtt_password: "xx"
ip_gateway: "192.168.xx.xx"
ip_subnet: "255.255.255.0"

Cool Projects and many work for some Values
Just an idea for later projects. There are i2c extenders like Adafruit LTC4311 or SparkFun QwiicBus. With those you can use i2c up to 40 meters or so.
Oh that is cool, did not know about these. 40m is quite a big distance for sensor applications
I have a temp sensors on the east and west side of my building. I then use the lowest of the 2 as the most accurate reading.
What a simple and great idea! I also have a sensor on the other side of the building. But the neighbour's house is only 3 meters away. And that small space also created a micro climate. But I think it would still work.
Can be nice if is connected to Wunderground , and later you have real predictions
I am using OpenWeatherMap for weather forecast, but for these projects I need actual data.
Csongor fascinating again! Why didn't you use tasmota firmware?
No particular reason. I got used to ESPHome more in the past few years, so this is usually the first option that comes to my mind. But the temperature station could certainly be Tasmota as well. I am not sure if SI1145 and VEML6070 is supported by Tasmota or not.
Ah ok, I fully understand. You made a very nice project. You are very skilled and you have good ideas. How do you use the measured value? influx/grafana?
Another vote for tasmota. I run a wemos D1 mini pro on 6 x 18650 batteries. Lasts about 6 months using tasmota power saving.
@@VladoM I store it in influx, I don't think I have a grafana dashboard for it. But mainly I have a flow in Node-Red which looks at the brightness value and triggers some actions (Like lower the blinds in the evening in the bedrooms).
@@SmithyScotland Great! At some point I should also build a matter operated meter, maybe with a small solar panel.
