High humidity can cause mold, mildew, or rust, especially in rarely visited areas like attics or garages. To prevent your favorite tools from rusting, it’s crucial to monitor these spaces.
👉 Our DIY Home Monitoring Kit Offers a Solution 😎👌🔥
Unlike Amazon sensors only monitor one spot, forcing you to go to the attics or garage to check the readings or low-cost devices solutions from unknown vendors that store your data in their own cloud, risking third-party access, our sensor-based solution stores data locally and accumulates it over time, ensuring privacy and comprehensive monitoring.
👉 Keep Your Attic, Crawlspace, and Garage Climate in Check with Our DIY Home Monitoring Kit 🎯
Why You’ll Love Our DIY Kit
Keep Your Data Private: Unhappy with monitors that demand account sign-ups? Our DIY Kit keeps your data local – no internet, no cloud, no hassle. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your information remains secure and under your control.
Save Money: We’d love to propose a cheap and easy to use alternative to overpriced commercial monitors. Our DIY Kit is affordable and comes with everything you need to build your own system.
Totally Customizable: Whether you’re an engineer, a hobbyist, or just someone who loves to tinker, our DIY Kit is designed for flexibility. Add more sensors, tweak the setup – make it your own!
Smart Home integration: Provided that the components communicate using MQTT – it should be quite possible to integrate with HomeAssistant.
What’s Inside?
Digital Sensors: We’ve picked the DHT22/AM2302 sensors. They’re super reliable and won’t break the bank. Perfect for keeping tabs on temperature and humidity. You can find more about these sensors and explore various Go-bindings.
Microcontroller: The ESP8266 is the brains of the operation. It’s got built-in WiFi and is perfect for sending data from your sensors. Learn more about it.
Custom PCB: We’ve created a slick, custom circuit board using KiCad. It makes putting everything together a breeze. Our PCB design files on our GitHub account.
3D Printable Case: We’ve got a FreeCAD design for a case to keep your setup neat and protected. Print it at home and you’re good to go! Our case design files on our GitHub account.
How It Works
Data Collection: Place sensors in key spots (attic, garage, crawlspace) to gather temperature and humidity data.
Data Transmission: The ESP8266 sends this data over WiFi. We use MQTT, which is a super-efficient messaging protocol. Learn more about MQTT on their official website and check out the ESP8266 MQTT client example.
Data Storage and Visualization: Store your data in InfluxDB and visualize it with Grafana. You’ll get clear, real-time insights and can set alerts for any unusual conditions.
Set Up your kit easily with our step-by-step instructions on GitHub. From hardware assembly to software setup, we’ve got you covered.
