Creating and configuring the five-zone temperature sensors and the ESP32 module-based temperature hub
What we will need to do to create the hardware and software ecosystem presented in the last section, and Figures 10.1 and 10.4, is add the Bluetooth temperature sensors and the temperature hub hardware devices and set up the software on them. The Bluetooth thermometers are battery-powered and come with an adhesive sticker, so you can glue them to any room of your home. I have these sensors spread apart in distances varying from 5 to 13 meters. The ESP32 module will just be connected to the power supply, so you can connect it using a USB type A to micro USB type B cable, connected to a USB power adapter, or follow my approach by connecting it to Raspberry Pi, as shown in Figure 1.8 in Chapter 1.
In the following subsections, I will guide you on how to upload and configure the software for the Mi thermometers and also how to install the Tasmota variant in the ESP32 communication...
