ESP8266 Weather Station

This project utilizes an ESP8266 microcontroller and a BMP280 sensor to create a small, WiFi-enabled weather station. This weather station measures temperature, pressure, and altitude, and exposes this data over a simple HTTP interface.

Prerequisites

The project uses the following hardware components:

• ESP8266 Microcontroller
• BMP280 sensor

And the following Arduino libraries:

• Arduino
• LittleFS for ESP8266
• ESP8266WiFi
• ESP8266WebServer
• Wire
• Adafruit Sensor
• Adafruit BMP280

Setup and Installation

1. Clone this repository.
2. Open the project in Visual Studio Code.
3. Make sure you have the PlatformIO IDE extension installed for handling Arduino code.
4. PlatformIO should automatically detect the libraries needed and prompt to install them. If not, manually install the above-mentioned libraries.
5. Build and upload the code to your ESP8266 using PlatformIO. The index.html file located in the /data folder of the project will be uploaded to the ESP8266's LittleFS filesystem during this step.

Usage

Once the ESP8266 is powered on and running, connect to the WiFi network with SSID ESP8266 and password Test1234!. Enter to IP adress : http://192.168.3.1/

The web server has two available routes:

• / : This route serves a basic HTML page, which is stored in the ESP8266's LittleFS filesystem at /data/index.html. You can extend this page according to your needs.
• /data : This route provides the current sensor data in JSON format.

The sensor data is updated every 2000 milliseconds.
