Remote WiFi DHT11 Temperature an Humidity Display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/remote-wifi-dht11-temperature-an-humidity-display/

BoianM @ instructables.com shows us how to build a remote temperature and humidity display using DHT11 sensor and two ESP8266 modules. To program the ESP8266 modules a visual programming software is used. The advantage of the ESP8266 over Arduino and other controllers is the builtin Wi-Fi. In this Instructable I will show you how with the […]

Jimb0 @ sparkfun.com takes a first look on the new ESP32 WiFi board by Espressif that’s an improvement of the ESP8266 board. The ESP32 doesn’t replace the ESP8266, but it does improve on it in every aspect. Not only does it have WiFi support, but it also features a Bluetooth 4.2 radio, making it even […]

ESP8266 mains energy monitor


https://www.electronics-lab.com/esp8266-mains-energy-monitor/

Brian Dorey has designed a mains energy monitor based on ESP8266 that have sensors for the mains current, electric meter and gas meter. As the new solar logger did not have this functionality we decided to design a new data-logger that would measure not only the mains current usage but also keep track of the […]
