Display different Roomtemperature on MagicMirror

[Xilef]

@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

Edit: With Power Supply i mean this one: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08LMFBV55/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1XVC08L2WVJCV&psc=1

@Xilef Hi, the list sounds good. I use old mobile chargers to power the boards. I have heard that some had problems with mobile chargers but I had no problems for years now.
