ESP8266 Weather station InDoor & OutDoor

Updated: Jul 2, 2021

In this project you’ll create a standalone web server with an ESP8266 that displays the temperature and humidity with a DHT11 or DHT22 sensor for Indoor weather and Weather widgets used for Outdoor weather data using the Arduino IDE . The web server you’ll build can be accessed with any device that has a browser on your local network.


For Indoor Weather station already posted, Refer https://www.dofbot.com/post/esp8266-server-dht-weather-station





To Interfacing the Widgets in the Local web page already posted in Covid-19 tracker, Refer


Circuit Diagram:





Uploading code

Having the ESP8266 add-on for the Arduino IDE installed (how to Install the ESP8266 Board in Arduino IDE), go to Tools and select “NodeMCU (ESP-12E Module)”.




Subscribe and Download code.


Copy the following code to your Arduino IDE and upload it to your ESP8266 board.


#include <Arduino.h>

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

#include <Hash.h>

#include <ESPAsyncTCP.h>

#include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h>

#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>

#include <DHT.h>


// Replace with your network credentials

const char* ssid = "SSID"; // your SSID

const char* password = "PASSWORD"; // your wifi password


#define DHTPIN 5 // Digital pin D1 connected to the DHT sensor


// Uncomment the type of sensor in use:

#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11

//#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302)

//#define DHTTYPE DHT21 // DHT 21 (AM2301)


DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);


// current temperature & humidity, updated in loop()

float t = 0.0;

float h = 0.0;


// Create AsyncWebServer object on port 80

AsyncWebServer server(80);


// Generally, you should use "unsigned long" for variables that hold time

// The value will quickly become too large for an int to store

unsigned long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time DHT was updated


// Updates DHT readings every 10 seconds

const long interval = 10000;
