DIY Weather Station & WiFi Sensor Station

In this project I will show you how to create a weather station along with a WiFi sensor station. The sensor station measures local temperature and humidity data and sends it, through WiFi, to the weather station. The weather station then displays the data on its LCD screen. It also grabs the current temperature and humidity data in your city from the Internet and displays it as well on the LCD screen. Let's get started!

Step 1: Watch the Video!

The video gives you all the information you need to create your own Weather/Sensor station. During the next steps though, I will present you some additional information.

Step 2: Order the Components!

Here you can find a parts list with example seller! (affiliate links)

Step 3: Program the LCD!

Here you can find the GUI (.tft file) that I created for the Nextion LCD. Make sure to upload it.

Also you can download the background pictures and use them for your weather station. They were made by Tom Wendlandt.

Step 4: Upload the Code!

Here you can find the code for the three Wemos D1 Minis. Make sure you downloaded all the required libraries before uploading.

Step 5: Solder the Circuit!

Here you can find the schematic of the circuit and reference pictures of my boards.

Step 6: 3D Print the Enclosures!

Here you can find the .123dx files and the .stl files for the enclosures.

Step 7: Success!

You did it! You just created your own Weather/Sensor Station!
