WiFiOutdoorSensor

WiFiOutdoorSensor is a wireless outdoor temperature and humidity monitoring system. It uses ESP8266 for network communication, BMP180 for barometric pressure measurements, and DHT-22 for temperature and humidity data. Powered by a battery, it's designed to be low-power and can be accessed via a web server, an Android application, or a Windows desktop application.

Features

  • Wireless Communication: Uses ESP8266 for wireless data transfer.
  • Sensors:
    • BMP180: Measures atmospheric pressure.
    • DHT-22: Monitors outdoor temperature and humidity.
  • Battery Power Management: Optimized for prolonged battery life.
  • Web Server with Interface: Access sensor data remotely via any web browser.
  • Android Application: Conveniently view sensor data on-the-go.
  • Windows Desktop Application: Access the sensor data from your PC.
