Humidity on Internet of Things with the NanoESP

Day 23: MQTT Climate

Fri, 23 Dec 2016 00:01:49 +0100

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.

Day 18: Weather monitoring

Behind today’s door is a very special component, namely a humidity sensor. Together with the phototransistor and the NTC, it creates a weather station for at-home use. The following layout is necessary for this purpose:

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.
