Weather station
Description
I'm working on (or rather have on our site and looking at how long it will last). It's a battery-powered weather station that's giving me everything but wind and rain amounts. STLs included: Top - that's the main piece that houses the Dallas temperature probe, the 5cm x 7cm prototype board with all the components on it, and the 18650 battery. Bottom - This part houses the BME680 sensor (air quality, pressure, humidity, etc.) and mounts to a tree and a Solar Panel bed. SP_Bed - This is the clip-on and glue bed for a 10cm x 10cm 5V 3W solar panel that will keep the battery topped off. Electrical Components: ESP32 - the main MCU (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805379076276.html) BME680 - Air Quality sensor (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803489909248.html) ADS1115 - for Voltage monitoring (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VPFLSMX) DS18B20 - the only genuinely accurate temperature sensor (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012C597T0) TP4056 - Lithium Battery Charger module (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804241424963.html) 3W 5V 100x100 Solar Panel (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804146436660.html) The ESP32 runs ESPhome firmware using the attached YAML config file. The module is capable of a very nice deep sleep feature that allows for weeks of dreary days without the battery running out. The node connects to Wi-Fi and reports to the Home Assistant via MQTT. I've also added an "OTA Mode" to the firmware to force the node to stay awake to perform updates and allow the one-hour BME680 calibration after deployment. I'll add the wiring diagram and more pictures later. Also, feel free to comment and ask questions.
