IOT Weather

I set up an IoT weather station, and placed it in my backyard to collect data.
The data was transmitted and stored on to my main web-server.

This required:

Assembling the IoT device from components I bought.
I used an ESP8266 as the microprocessor.
Then some sensors such as:
- DHT22 weather sensor,
- an I2C 20x4 LCD
Programming the microprocessor to sample the weather, and then send the data to my central collection server (this website).
I installed and used MicroPython for the programming on the device.

Utilised some Micropython packages such as:
- dhylands/python_lcd, and
- pfalcon/picoweb
Compiling the firmware manually to freeze in the packages, using vagrant.

Setting up my online web-server to receive and store the weather data

Results

These were the readings recorded from the IOT device:

(NB: the IOT station was placed on a black chair, and in the sunlight. It is possible that affected the results - it never really got over 50°C!
