# Weather and Soil Moisture Logger

This project logs temperature, humidity, and soil moisture data using an ESP8266 microcontroller and sends the data to Adafruit IO.

Components used

* ESP8266 Microcontroller

* DHT11 or DHT22 temperature & humidity sensor

* Soil moisture sensor ("Capacitive Soil Moisture Sensor V1.2")

### Setup

1. **Hardware connections:**

   - DHT11: Connect to GPIO12 (D6)

   - Soil Moisture Sensor: Connect to A0 (ADC)

2. **Software requirements:**

   - MicroPython installed on ESP8266

3. **Human requirements:**

   - A smile on your face

4. **Configuration:**

   - Update `config.py` with your Adafruit IO username and API key.

### Usage

1. **Upload Code:**

   - Flash the provided MicroPython script to the ESP8266.

   - See https://github.com/wendlers/mpfshell

   - `mpfshell -n -c "open tty.usbserial-529A0037391; put boot.py"`

2. **Run:**

   - Power the ESP8266 and monitor the serial output for data readings and status messages.

3. **Data Logging:**

   - Data is sent to Adafruit IO feeds for neat dashboards you can show your friends and claim you didn't waste an entire weekend working on this project..
