Weather Station 🌤️

A very simple yet powerful weather station built using the ESP32 microcontroller.

The Project

This GitHub project showcases a simple weather station powered by an ESP32 microcontroller, dedicated to monitoring environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, pressure, gas, and particulate matter levels. The station utilizes a BME680 sensor to read temperature, humidity, pressure, and gas levels, and a PMS7003 sensor to measure PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 particulate matter concentrations.

The ESP32 collects this comprehensive environmental data and transmits it to a Node.js server using the MQTT protocol, ensuring real-time data communication and efficient handling of sensor data. The server processes this data and stores it in a MySQL database, providing robust data storage and retrieval capabilities.

To make the data easily accessible and user-friendly, a web application is developed using Vue.js and Tailwind CSS. Vue.js, a progressive JavaScript framework, is utilized for creating an interactive and dynamic user interface, while Tailwind CSS enhances the app's responsiveness and aesthetic appeal, ensuring it works seamlessly across different devices and screen sizes. Users can view the latest readings in real-time, benefiting from a well-designed, intuitive dashboard that highlights key environmental conditions monitored by the weather station.

This project not only demonstrates the integration of various technologies, from microcontrollers to cloud storage and web development frameworks, but also serves as a practical solution for individuals interested in home automation, environmental monitoring, or IoT projects! ❤️
