using Arduino board, ESP8266 to collect temperature, humidity, light intensity and such, transmitting data to a MQTT broker, storing data in SQL database, and displaying data on web inteface
4. Home Weather Station (v1.0) with double sensors, more data QA/QC:
Measure three environmental parameters: light intensity, temperature and humidity
Each parameter is measured by at least two sensors
Data is dislayed with standard deviation
1. Using Multiplex (MUX) to collect multiple analog inputs through one analog pin on ESP8266
CD4051 MUX IC acts as a very fast potentiometer that it seqentially reads the analog value of sensors
2. Example using 4 temperature sensors (18B20) with an Arduino Nano
The 18B20 is a simple devide using one-wire bus that is similar to I2C method. Each devides has one unique address so we can daisy-chain as many sensors as wish. To ouput, in this case the temperature, can be distinguish from others by specifying the address of the target DS18B20.
This example was setup to demonstate using a Raspberry Pi to collect and log the Print out information making the Raspberry Pi a simple logger. The full tutorial is posted on Instructables.com
3. A complete setup of weather station with:
a WEMOS ESP8266 using deepsleep mode (with 5 minute interval)
collect light, temperature and humidity, posts data to the MQTT broker
sparse out data using Paho-MQTT-Python, store in sqlite database, and display data in a web-based platform
