Day 23: MQTT Climate

Behind the door for today is a battery clip for a 9 V block, with which you can make the entire system moveable. An alternative to a battery is a power bank (a rechargeable battery pack, normally for mobile phones). You can see in today’s layout picture how to connect a 9 V battery correctly. This is how you can connect a 9 V battery to today's layout Climate data should be captured again today. But this time they are published through the MQTT broker and are thus accessible worldwide. The data could thus be called up via a plug-in and stored in a database. ...

The following layout is necessary for this purpose: The layout with all sensors (resistors 1 kohm) Today’s layout is a bit fiddly. Especially at the point where the potentiometer on the right of the image sits, it touches the NanoESP. But that’s not really a problem as long as the contact on the left of the image is plugged firmly into the board. ...
