Had a look around and found a copy of my UDP version. I used the BME sensor as it has temp, humidity and pressure. I also had a DHT sensor I used for testing and it went wrong but the BME is still going strong.
From memory the Python code sent a string "get data" and the Nodemcu replied. The python code was run every 10min via a cron job and the Nodemcu woke up from sleep every 9min. This was time enough for the sensor to warm up and allow for any problems with timing.
This is an example page of my current setup output. I used the same graphing software for the code below as well and had all the outputs on one graph - scaling the pressure : http://rubblewebs.co.uk/IOT/
You can "drag" over the graph to see more detail.
This was my first real program and can probably be improved.
