Based on the work of Open Green Energy: First solar Zambretti Forecaster

Zambretti Forecaster on Solar WiFi Weather Station

Based on the work of Open Green Energy. https://www.instructables.com/id/Solar-Powered-WiFi-Weather-Station-V20/ Authors of the base code: Keith Hungerford and Debasish Dutta - Excellent work, gentlemen!

Major changes:

  • simplified, restructured code (used Adafruit libraries for BME280 instead, sorry for this Keith)
  • added relative pressure, dewpoint, dewpoint spread and heatindex calculations
  • allow Blynk (deprecated by Dec 31, 2022), ThingSpeak and MQTT data transmission
  • redesigned box (simplified printing, less plastic usage, full snap-in)
  • available languages (a big thank you to the contributors!)
    • English
    • German
    • Italian (Chak10)
    • Polish (TomaszDom)
    • Romanian (zangaby)
    • French (Ludestru)
    • Spanish (Fedecatt)
    • Turkish (Mert Sarac)
    • Dutch (Rickthefrog)
    • Norwegian (solbero)

Changes in V2.3

  • included famous Zambretti forecaster (see Blynk example)
  • added translation table for Zambretti forecast
  • added multi language feature

Changes in V2.31

  • added Dewpoint Spread
  • fixed some minor things
  • added Zambretti forecast in Thingspeak (thank you ThomaszDom)

Changes in V2.31 (MQTT version)

  • allows to publish data to MQTT broker (alternative .ino file)

Changes in V2.32

  • Battery monitoring and going to hibernate if battery low (battery protection)
  • Warning text will be shown instead of Zambretti prediction if batt low

Changes in V2.33

  • Corrected bug in the winter/summer adjustment for the Zambretti forecast

Changes in V2.34

  • added August-Roche-Magnus approximation to automatically adjust humidity with temperature corrections
  • Code cleanup

Changes in V2.35

  • corrected TingSpeak communication changes (needs now Channel ID and KEY)

BLYNK legacy (used in this code) will get deprecated! Legacy server shutdown - December 31, 2022 (https://blynk.io/blog/what-will-happen-to-the-legacy-blynk-platform). I do not plan to update to new Blynk - maybe someone here in the community?
