This little creation is called HumeOS. It is a mini web server that data logs the values from a DT11 humidity and temperature sensor. I made this project in an effort to try and save some money on getting a sensor that would be able to project the values and be accessible at any given time. The reason I need to track the humidity is because my home has had mold issues in the past in my basement. I was also pleasantly surprised when I ended up being able to make it in such a small form factor as you will see in the progression photos. It has made me want to venture more into other small form factor designs and prototypes.
Parts List:
-WIFI Dev Board - ESP 8266 12E
- Humidity Sensor - DT11
- 3D printed housing
Process and Progression Gallery
As you can see the actual build itself ended up being fairly simple: three wires, the ESP board, and the DT11 sensor. To access the server it must one be connected to WIFI, then you must type in the servers IP into your URL in your browser of choice. After that you are free to see the data whenever you want where ever you want!
Below is a video showing how the HumeOS works in action.
