This project aims to monitor the temperature and humidity in a room, through a compact and cheap device, powered via USB and which sends data to our smartphone through WiFi communication. The circuit consists of an ESP8266 module, a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor and a 3.3V voltage regulator. The ESP8266 module will connect to…
Today we will make a room temperature monitor, which we can use to monitor our room from anywhere in the world and to do that we will use a BLYNK IoT plateform and we will use DHT11 to read the room temperature we will use a ESP8266 to access the internet and it will send…
For most of us, getting weather information is as trivial as unlocking a smartphone or turning on a computer. But, in all of this, it lacks a certain panache that old weather stations had with their analog dials and stained wood cases. If you are a lover of vintage, you can’t help but love this…
This project helps make your day a little easier if you’re a remote worker using Slack. I’ll show you how to build it using an ESP8266 wifi board. Don’t miss the video above for the overview. More info
The Glowtie is a light-up bowtie! It clips onto the top button of your dress shirt and can display any number of colors and animations. When you turn the Glowtie on, the onboard ESP8266 hosts an AP network that you can connect to with your phone to control the lights. The Glowtie is based on the ESP-12F…
In this project I present you an easy and economic way to convert a touch toggle light switch with a face plate similar to the one in the image above, to a touchless one you can manage waving your hand or from your mobile. The brain of this project is an ESP8266 board and a…
This project is so easy to build. Using the ESP8266 WiFi module can connect to the internet. Once connected, using the YouTube channel ID and the API key we obtain the YouTube subscribers count and then we print that value to a 7 segments screen module. More info
This project uses ESP8266 NodeMCU as the control device that easily connects to existing WiFi network & creates a Web Server. When any connected device accesses this web server, ESP8266 NodeMCU reads in temperature & relative humidity from the DHT11, DHT22/AM2302 sensor & sends it to the web browser of that device with a nice…
For those of us fortunate enough to be able to work from home, we are probably finding that there are some major challenges when it comes to boundaries with others in the house. To help with this, I created a really simple build with ESP8266 board that allows you to control the colour of LEDs…
On-line shopping has changed the way goods are acquired. For most packages it is not necessary to be around for the dropoff. But… for the important stuff it is. Those packages always seem to show up right when you are in the backyard for mere seconds causing that frustrating “Personal Signature Required for Delivery” note on the…
It happened to everyone, you buy an avocado, it’s not ripe yet. A few days pass by, and by the time it’s ripe you have forgotten about it… and in a few days, it may go bad! lucky for you we designed and built AvoRipe, a device that checks your avocado twice a day, or…
In this project, I am going to show how I made Alexa enabled home monitoring and controlling system using RSL10 Sense Development Board from ON Semiconductor. RSL10 is used to sense the environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, air pressure, and light intensity) of a room. An Alexa Skill was developed to remotely access these…
