Indoor Climate App

A fun wee project, playing around with an ESP8266 and a temperature sensor to create my own indoor weather app.

an iOS like indoor weather app, with temperature and humidity readings.

The Indoor Climate App is a fun project where I combined React, hardware programming, and design to create a personal indoor weather app. Using an ESP8266 and a temperature sensor, the app monitors pressure, humidity, and temperature, displaying the data in a sleek interface inspired by the iOS weather app.

The ESP8266 samples sensor data using MicroPython and temporarily caches it in an SQLite database. Every few minutes, the data is pushed to a Flask server, where it’s stored long-term in a MariaDB database. This setup ensures efficient local storage and reliable server synchronization.

This project was a chance to learn more about React, hardware programming, and backend integration. It blended technical challenges with creative design, teaching me how to integrate hardware and software while building something practical and enjoyable.
