Nice project.

Currently, my temperature sensors connect to an ESP8266 which connects to my WiFi network.

I may have an application coming up which is out of range of my WiFi network. I could try and introduce a WiFi range extender, OR I could do what you have shown here.

Thanks very much for sharing this

Very cool project. I have used some of the FTDI Vinuculm parts in the past to allow embedded products to interface with USB thumbdrives and printers. We were not able to use any existing drivers, but we did manage to fully integrate and utilize these parts (which was far easier than developing a full USB stack.

Well done!
