Interfacing sensors with ESP32
In our first topic, we’ll dive into the foundational step of our project: connecting and interfacing two crucial sensors with the ESP32 microcontroller. These sensors – the moisture sensor and the DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor– play pivotal roles in providing essential data for our smart plant monitoring system. The moisture sensor allows us to monitor soil moisture levels, ensuring our plant receives the optimal amount of hydration, while the DHT22 sensor provides valuable insights into the surrounding environment, including humidity and temperature data. This initial phase sets the stage for our project’s success by establishing the means to gather critical information about the plant’s well-being and its immediate surroundings. We’ll explore the wiring, configuration, and data retrieval from these sensors, laying a strong foundation for the interconnected ecosystem we aim to create for our smart plant...
