In the past I have used various ESP8266 modules (Wemos D1 Mini) and sensors, DHT22, 18B20, BME280 etc to provide intrumentation distributed over a fairly wide range (connected by WiFi.
I have done a quick and scruffy cut & paste (hack) to get a DHT22 temp/humidity sensor up and running. The only section I’m not familiar with is the interface to my Pi3B based GateWay.
I’ve included the code below and if anyone could suggest a neater way of sending data / interfacing to the gateway I would be obliged… The code works by the way but I get a disconnected message despite the data being updated?
(Code Hacked from various sources)
