In this project I will show you how to create a weather station along with a WiFi sensor station. The sensor station measures local temperature and humidity data and sends it, through WiFi, to the weather station. The weather station then displays the data on its LCD screen. It also grabs the current temperature and humidity data in your city from the Internet and displays it as well on the LCD screen. Let's get started!

Oh I see. Normally the hardware guys says, "ehh, fix it in software." Until he has to write the software, then suddenly more hardware shows up!

Developer's time is expensive, but esp's are cheap 😀
@tf3confirmedbuthv54 5 років тому
Man, I’m still surprised you can upload with such high consistency and still have high quality videos! Keep up the good work!
@sgsax 5 років тому
ESP2866 is a game changer. Way easier to use and cheaper than Xbee for local communication. Integrated arduino-compatible microcontroller is a bonus. Really want to build a weather station to put on top of my house. Got some good ideas here. Thanks for sharing!
@twilightknight123 5 років тому
This is perfect timing, actually. I'm waiting on a bme280 to be delivered to set up an automated climate system in a vivarium. Always glad when there's a greatscott video to help back up my work so I don't get too lost

Regarding the Nextion Editor, it was probably expecting a monospace font, which would explain the weird text spacing.
@nhisme9805 5 років тому
Yes to the monospaced font. I ran into the same problem.
@nicolasperdrix5617 4 роки тому
I think icons are better than text
@RequiemForABuckeye 4 роки тому
Would it be better to generate pics of words through an external app and upload them to the nextion instead?

@jonty1857 5 років тому
I had a play around with the BME280 and needed 2 of them connected to the same processor. After looking through huge amounts to datasheets, I found that you can indeed change the address on these boards; you have a choice of 2! If you look carefully at the 3 gold pads on the pcb, you will see that 2 are connected (middle and 1 side). You break this connection and join the middle to the other pad. One address is 0x76 and the other 0x77. This saved my project, hope it helps someone else too.
@justincastilloux8051 5 років тому
You can also use them as SPI devices and have as many as you want. Provided you can supply a 'chip select' signal for each. Also, the BME280 datasheet is only 55 pages long. That's tiny. :)

if you only just found his channel, then you need to take some time off. There are many more, very interesting videos you will like. Have fun watching them!
@rklauco 5 років тому
Those 2 Wemoses made my day :) Seems like a bit of overkill to me. First of all, ESP is pretty fast, so any LCD will be capable to display the graphics directly from ESP - you can even utilize the SPIFS for storage of the data and, potentially, upload a new background using web interface. But I admire your - let's just hack it together - attitude, really. I usually spend LOTS of time on my projects just because I don't want to do it this way and go with something like "this has to be possible - how hard can it be?". 3 months later I am left with lots of unfinished or half-done projects ;)

Regarding the temperature sensor, you should keep it separate from everything else, since the boards develop some heat too, and could so influence the result.
@moeburn 5 місяців тому
Yes but at 35C he must have put it right on top of the wifi chip lol. I have some that are 5-10cm from the wifi chip and they only read 1.5C over ambient.

@packratswhatif.3990 5 років тому
SWEET !!!! After all the failed purchased weather stations I have tried, I wish you could design a complete all-out enhanced station with wind, direction, uv, temp, humidity, rain amount and pressure. This idea of going thru the wifi sounds absolutely grand compared to the expensive crap I have purchased that failed which operates over their own RF signal. My problem is that I an Not a programmer (mental block) and I get too frustrated trying. With having all the basic sensors already up and installed, just communication setup would needed to get all info back to the head unit.
@noweare1 5 років тому
Yup, agreed. Using wi-fi to get to the internet is the way to go. An outside station is not needed. I bought a bunch of RF2401 to build weaterstations and I guess I will use them for something else.

you can also collect data from the sensor and plot them over a large period of time (say a month, or a year) to get the weather trends in your apartment

You are the first left hander that has very ledgiable penmanship. I am left handed and my writing is terrible. My son is left handed and his is worse than mine. All my coworkers I have come across in my career that were lefties, also had bad penmanship. I am curious what your secret is, or how they taught you this in school. And it isnt fun when I have to design software on a white board going left to right. BTW, excellent videos.

@alexanderislas4382 3 роки тому
I would guess it is because you could have the sensor in one room and the screen in another. Honestly, I would have settled for having the sensor and the lcd together.

Hi I have always enjoyed your you tube channel. Have you ever considered making an anemometer? I have printed the casing but have not figured out the sensor and also a directional wind sensor. Thank you.
@defaultuser000 5 років тому
Why not put the little wires through the holes in the boards when you solder them on? It does make them harder to remove if you take the project all apart, but you don't have to worry about the wires ripping the pads off the boards when moving them around.
@Ed19601 5 років тому
Looks great. I didn't go in detail through your code but just want to leave some info on the BME280 for those who might work with it the first time: by default it usually is in continuous mode, taking g reading after reading and that way heating up itself. Best use it in 'forced mode'. I infact had problems with a Bosch sensor once. A BMP180 stopped working, so I have slight reservations :-)
@OldCurmudgeon3DP 5 років тому
I have 2 of these on different projects. I need to look into setting forced mode I think. I only poll in 15sec (minimum) intervals.
@Lisas4us 4 роки тому
Great video, Scott, thank you so much. I was wondering, could you make a video to messure several temperature and several umindity through several esp8266. And than have high temp and low temp switch points, send signal send back to the respective esp8266, where some relays are switched, for example a heater, a fan, a/c dehumidifyer, window-opener, sprinkler, whatever. etc. I think that would be something really usefull, we not quite so smart people could learn and program with.

@zephalon 5 років тому
You could use the MQTT protocoll and a Node RED server, it's very versatile.
@electron-1979 5 років тому
Over-kill for this project, but a great solution if you want to greatly expand with more/other sensors.
@aarondcmedia9585 5 років тому
Do you prefer soldering wire directly to the boards vs using headers and cable so they don't fall out if it gets bumped? Or another reason? Appreciate the videos - interesting as always.
@vaioskaliakoudas6388 5 років тому
Awesome project, and pretty useful but, could the Nextion LCD screen work with Arduino or other similar microcontrollers, and is it also avalaible in bigger dimensions and better quality resolutions???
@MedSou 5 років тому
Very useful 👍👍👍👍
@Fifury161 5 років тому
Nice DIY project, however for me the BOM seems a tad high for such a simple project - that LCD is overkill - especially if you aren't going to use the touch screen function... As ever you have inspired me to make my own and implement my design changes!

@bag-stg-kft7445 3 роки тому
Great explanation. But I have questions: I have three stations (ESP8266 with BME280) and Openweather on Nextion. These also send the data (all, not just Temp and Hum) to Thingspeak. How should I send this data on another Nextion? Reading Thingspeak doesn't work, although that would be the simplest solution, because in this way many stations could be created and all data would be shown on a display (that would then be a real "station" and could also be used for thermal heating)

My guess on the font spacing is that the editor expect you to use a monospaced font, try with a monospaced font it should work better.
@monojithalder3993 4 роки тому
This is a great project but now day anyone likes to see all sensor value into their mobile phone or their smartwatches. Please try that. I already build this kind of project. This is a just suggestion do not take it otherwise. I like your video very much. Thank you.
