Weather station using ESP32 as sensor and Raspberry Pi 4 as server

Idea

The idea of this project is to gather athmosphere data as temperature, pressure and humidity from various sensors (and or websites) and store them centrally on a Raspi 4, which then serves the data on a webserver. The other point is for me to start some advanced Python and get familiar with Git/Github

Goals

The goal is, to have as many sensors or data inputs as you want and have access to the data via the browser. Also, we need a nice graph and comparison between the sensors. The whole project is meant to run on your own local hardware, so nothing has to communicate with the web. At some point, I wanna also try an use docker to run it on my home server, not just the raspberry pi.

What's the status?

Right now, I have the following working:

• Server on Raspberry Pi receiving and serving the data
• ESP32 ready to collect data via a BME280 and send to raspberry via Wifi
• Graph view of individual sensors
• foundation to extend to more sensors, also of different type (module and sensor itself)
• ESP32 with wavesahre ePaper display as additional data display

What's missing?

• the docker part
• a bigger ePaper (have to buy one)
• clean up code, more generalization
• more sophisticated website to display the data
• store data in a databas (like sqlite), not just plain text files
• add more physical sensors
• have some nice housing for the sensors
• power supply for the sensors (right now running via my old phone charger)
• PCB to fit everything into a housing
• Phone app?
