HabitatMonitor

HabitatMonitor is an IoT project designed to monitor environmental conditions in a habitat using a network of ESP32 microcontrollers. Each ESP32 node collects data from connected sensors and sends it to a central Flask server for aggregation and display.

Features

• Temperature and Humidity Monitoring: Uses DHT22 sensors to measure temperature and humidity.
• Soil Moisture Monitoring: Uses soil moisture sensors to monitor soil conditions.
• Wireless Data Transmission: Utilizes the ESP32’s Wi-Fi capabilities to send sensor data to a remote server.
• MicroPython on ESP32: Leverages MicroPython for easy and efficient development on the ESP32.
• Flask Server with WebSocket: Implements a Flask server to receive, process, and display the data with real-time updates using WebSocket.
• Real-Time Data Visualization: Displays the collected data on a web interface.

Components

• ESP32 Development Boards
• DHT22 Temperature and Humidity Sensors
• Soil Moisture Sensors
• Power Supply (e.g., battery packs for each ESP32)
• Wi-Fi Network
• Central Server (e.g., Raspberry Pi or any server running Flask)
• Cables and Connectors

Setup

ESP32 Nodes

1. Flash MicroPython firmware to your ESP32.
2. Upload main.py to your ESP32 using a tool like ampy or mpfshell.

   ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 put main.py
