Automatic Weather Station Project:
A Weather station using NodeMCU and DHT11 able to collects data related to the environment and weather using many different sensors. Using the home weather station, we can measure
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Rain
- gases percentage in air
- UV index
- Wind
- Pressure – Barometric
Objective:
The primary goals of this project to measure the temperature and humidity inside the room and then display this information on a server, including the present time and date. This project also capable of display the information as temperature and relative humidity outside the room.
Components Used:
DHT 11 : Temperature humidity Sensor
NodeMCU : IoT Development board USB cable
Working Principle and Methodology:
In this project, I choose a very low-cost temperature and humidity sensor DHT11. It basically consists of a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor and this sensor also have the capability to convert the analog to a digital signal as a form of temperature and humidity, and this sensor has three-pin data pin, Vcc, and Gnd which is connected to the NodeMcu Esp8266 pins D4, Vcc and Gnd respectively.
After completing all hardware connection I am created an account on the Adafuit.io server for I publish my data or information. Then I was set up the Adafruit account and Write down the program on Andruino Id. At last, I installed the program on my Nodemcu using a USB cable and after that, I run this program and open my serial monitor to check how it works.

Conclusion :
In this project, a weather station has been developed to measure the temperature and relative humidity inside or outside the room at the present time and then share this information on a server through the internet where it can be processed and monitoring for various interesting purposes.
