In this project you’ll create a standalone web server with an ESP8266 that displays the temperature and humidity with a DHT11 or DHT22 sensor for Indoor weather and Weather widgets used for Outdoor weather data using the Arduino IDE. The web server you’ll build can be accessed with any device that has a browser on your local network.
For Indoor Weather station already posted, Refer https://www.dofbot.com/post/esp8266-server-dht-weather-station
To Interfacing the Widgets in the Local web page already posted in Covid-19 tracker, Refer
https://www.dofbot.com/post/esp8266-covid-19-live-tracker
Having the ESP8266 add-on for the Arduino IDE installed (how to Install the ESP8266 Board in Arduino IDE), go to Tools and select “NodeMCU (ESP-12E Module)”.
// Import required libraries
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <Hash.h>
#include <ESPAsyncTCP.h>
#include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h>
#include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>
#include <DHT.h>
// Replace with your network credentials
const char* ssid = "SSID"; // your SSID
const char* password = "PASSWORD"; // your wifi password
#define DHTPIN 5 // Digital pin D1 connected to the DHT sensor
// Uncomment the type of sensor in use:
#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11
//#define DHTTYPE DHT22 // DHT 22 (AM2302)
//#define DHTTYPE DHT21 // DHT 21 (AM2301)
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);
// current temperature & humidity, updated in loop()
float t = 0.0;
float h = 0.0;
// Create AsyncWebServer object on port 80
AsyncWebServer server(80);
// Generally, you should use "unsigned long" for variables that hold time
// The value will quickly become too large for an int to store
unsigned long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time DHT was updated
// Updates DHT readings every 10 seconds
const long interval = 10000;
