BME280 and MQTT

Open rto54 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hello,

How can we implement the BME280, as well as an MQTT connection ?

Thanks

@rto54 depends on what type of HiGrow board you have: the one with DHT12 or BME sensor? To which server you want to make the MQTT connection ?

I have a similar issue. I own the BME /ESP32 sensor board and run Home Assistant. I would like to make a connection by using mosquitto broker if possible. Can ESP-Dash connect to the wifi and then deliver the sensor data - finally to Home Assistant? Just a simple one way flow of its data Any ideas what I have to do? Thanks

When you first get the HiGrow device, it runs as WIFI access point and server which means the only way to view anything is to connect your wifi to it and view the web page. Kinda of annoying.

This repository has new firmware that can connect to Home Assistant. https://github.com/pesor/TTGO-T-HIGrow

NOTE: It can also run as a standalone server on your LAN which you connect to as well. Simply comment out SOFTAP_MODE and fill in WIFI_SSID and WIFI_PASSWD defines for your router and rebuild/upload. Then you'll need to start the serial monitor to figure out it's IP address which you can then view from your browser of choice.
