Story

Hi Folks, hope you are doing fine. I am back with another interesting post on IoT which is IoT Weather Monitoring System. This is like a mini weather station that can tell us the weather conditions in our nearby environment. It can calculate the temperature, humidity in our local area. It can also detect if there is rain outside or not. We are using multiple sensors with an esp8266 nodemcu board that can able to collect the data and upload it wirelessly to the cloud storage platform. For more information about this project visit the original post of this project also bookmark TECHATRONIC.COM as all my further projects and tutorials will be pre-uploaded there.

Working of the IoT Weather Monitoring System

We are using some sensors with the nodemcu such as the DHT-11 sensor, Rain sensor, and LDR sensor. The DHT-11 sensor is used to calculate the temperature and humidity values in the environment. It has three pins and is generally operated on a 5 volts supply. Then we have a raindrop sensor that can detect the rain and send the signals to the nodemcu. We are using an LDR sensor that is a light-dependent register so that the system can tell us that if there is day or night. All the captured data is displayed on a 16x2 LCD as well as on the Blynk app also.

Material Required:

NodeMCU (EP8266 MOD)
DHt11
Rain Sensor
LDR Sensor
16×2 LCD with I2C module
Breadboard
Jumper Wires
Blynk App with Wi-Fi connection

NOTE: You have to upload the code which is given below to the nodemcu.

Set up the Blynk App:

Download the blynk application and then install it.

Now create a New Project with your preferred name. Here I have used ‘IoT weather Monitoring’.

Then follow the screenshots given below.
