Display different Roomtemperature on MagicMirror

@wishmaster270 Thanks for your reply.

@wishmaster270 said in Display different Roomtemperature on MagicMirror:

Do you plan to power the devices with a power supply or do they need to run on battery?

Mostly on power supplys

In general, I would think your solution would work for me, but the big problem is, if i buy like an EPS8266/ESP32 and BME280/HTU21 sensor, i can solder them together, but i have no idea how to set up the software.

Im glad that i managed it to run Weather, Calendar and an RSS-Feed on my Mirror. But I don’t know much more than that. If there were step-by-step instructions, I would definitely be able to do it, but I don’t think there is one for exactly my needs.
I would definitely try to do it, but i need help i guess.

@Xilef esp8266, see the instructables.com site

also download the Arduino ide to create and load sw on the device.

I capture the temp and push it to a local server running and http server. you can also use Matt to push

@sdetweil no idea what you are talking about after Arduino ide xD but thanks anyway

I think I will first order an ESP8226 and see if I can set it up/play a sample program on it, with the help of an YT Tutorial. And then Im trying to connect it with the sensor and display the data on the Mirror using an http server

and it would be cool if someone would upvote my posts so that they arent dumped into the moderation queue

@Xilef https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v2/tutorials/getting-started/ide-v2-downloading-and-installing

that’s for programming the ESP8266

@sdetweil thx

@Xilef
ESP8266 is a good choice. I prefer ESP32 cause it has more power but does not need that much more energy. You have a lot more GPIOs with a ESP32 than a with the ESP8266.

I can provide you a ESP32 sketch which is ready to flash and only needs the Wifi-SSID, Wifi-Password and the MQTT parameters configured.
I use the Arduino IDE to flash the boards.

@wishmaster270 thanks

As I understand it, something like this is my target:

And i would need:

ESP32
DHT11-Sensor Problem with this Sensor is the accuracy i think, but if it works I can swap them out I guess
BreadBoard

And as Powersupply something with 5V and 1-1,5A right?

I would probably do it like this guy on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebJpXs2-WgM&list=PLUwa0e4GQGhS6KCSbLAQGog4_Z7eIWOm3&index=3

And from the ESP32-Website the MagicMirror should be able to read the data and display it

@Xilef
You need a ESP32 ( I use a D1 Mini but nearly everyone should be fine)
You need a Temperature and Humidity Sensor (BME280 and HTU21 are a lot more accurate and use I2c to communicate with the controller.
A Power supply with 5V 1A should be more than enough.

That’s how I display my values…

The first three are ESP32 the others my thermostats.

@wishmaster270

nice…

Xilef

@wishmaster270 Thats exactly what i had in mind

The BME280 sensors on amazon are a litte expensive so Im think Im order 3 form this shop They have 5 Pins but I think this will work to, on Aliexpress its even cheaper but i have no experience with the shop, and 1-3€ difference is ok i guess

And I wanted to ask what power supply you use e.g. just a cell phone charger?
I think im gona go with this one and hope that it doesnt explode

So if I have everything right this is my shopping list:
ESP32
BME280
Power Supply
BreadBoard

And then I just have to figure out the programming
