sguter90 / esp32-room-sensor

esp32-room-sensor

Uses the BME680 sensor to read temperature, pressure, humidity and IAQ and provides the data via MQTT and Web.

What this code does

1. Connects to WiFi
2. Connects to MQTT broker
3. Reads the sensor data of the BME680
4. Runs a webserver which provides two routes:
   1. "/" -> provides a way to view current sensor data
   2. "/log" -> allows to watch everything printed even if the ESP32 isn't connected to Serial
5. Runs websockets to push everything logged to the "/log" webpage
6. The "/log" webpage additonally sends a ping request via JavaScript websocket and the ESP32 responds with a pong message to identify connection issues on client side.
