️ Take your home weather forecasting to the next level with our custom-made advanced weather station, powered by an ESP32 WROOM and displaying data on 8 2.8/" ILI9341 TFT displays. This high-tech weather station not only provides accurate 8-hour data and 8-day Weather Forecast but enriches your planning with additional data on sunrise, sunset and moon phases.

Main features of our weather station:

Comprehensive Forecasts: Provides short-term (8 hours) and long-term (8 days) weather forecasts, pulling data directly through the OpenWeather API.

Dynamic Display Control: Uses an MCP23008 I/O expander to drive the TFT backlight via MOSFETs, ensuring optimal display visibility.

Interactive User Interface: Three capacitive touch buttons allow users to toggle between hourly and daily forecasts, switch units of measurement between metric and imperial, and put screens to sleep.

Rich visual presentation: Weather information is clearly displayed through a combination of attractive graphics and text, making it easy to read and understand.

From concept to reality:

Watch me walk you through the development process of this innovative weather station, from hardware assembly to software integration. Learn how to interface the ESP32 with multiple TFT displays, manage I/O expansions for display control, and use API data to power real-time weather forecasts.

Why build your own weather station?

Training Opportunity: Get insights into building IoT devices, data management, and graphical user interface design.

Customizable Features: Personalize the device to better meet your local weather needs and display preferences.
