I have a hard time with names, so I called it WIoT (Weather IoT) - and it's the 2nd iteration. It uses a NodeMCU ESP + Blynk + a Nextion display. In a nutshell, it displays weather forecast data and a bunch of other stuff.
Features:
Features:
- Display current and forecast weather information. This time around, I used the Weather Underground API to pull both current and forecast data in JSON format.
Display weather data generated outside the house via another ESP unit. It polls temp, humidity and battery info (it’s solar powered) – Integrated with Blynk
Poll and display the temperature of the hot tub – Integrated with Blynk
Poll and display the status of garage doors (open/closed) – will be integrated in the future – Also integrated with Blynk
Allow our kids to interact with the unit – sends notifications via Blynk
Polls waste collection calendar information to show us which waste items are being collected on a weekly basis.
Show the current date and time – uses Blynk RTC widget
I also added a picture viewer which shows family photos (for those times when people are bored standing at the door waiting for others…)
