Internet Weather Observations, Data Logger with Rain Gauge

Just curious, are you posting data directly from the ESP32 to webhostapp hosted website?

Function "webInterface" sends data to Domain, hosted web site.  HTTPClient library sends data to "dataCollector2.php"

script; which also creates the HTML page every 15 minutes!

I modified script from Stephen Borsay:  https://www.hackster.io/detox/send-esp8266-data-to-your-webpage-no-at-commands-7ebfec

Features of "Rain_Gauge_Two.ino". Version 2.7

1. NTP Time Server is used for 15 minute time interval, date-time stamping; Data log file gets created daily.

File name is in the format "LOGxxyyzzzz" xx being the DATE and yy being the MONTH and zzzz being the YEAR; a

new log file is created after every file renaming.   Only LOGxxyyzzzz.TXT file are listed for viewing.

2. Both (ESP32 Based and Domain, hosted) have dynamic web pages of current observations show Last update time and

date, humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, rainfall by five minutes, hour, and day.  Two web sites; one Sketch!

3. Data log files on server, are listed as displayable, web links.

4. LOGXXYYZZZZ file is appended every 15 minutes with the latest update; sending data to Dynamic web pages.

5. Sketch features FTP file transfer easing requirement for server maintenance.   Server can store a month of

data log files.

6. Optional; two-line LCD Display of Barometric Pressure, in both inches of Mercury and millibars.

7. Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, and Dew Point have four embedded "ThinkSpeak.com" graphs on one

web page. Graphs are created from Iframes provided by "ThingSpeak.com"

8. HTTPClient library is used to POST data to the Domain, hosted website. Function "webInterface" function sends data.

9. Free, "000webhost powered by HOSTINGER" may be used for Domain, hosted website.

10.  "dataCollector2.php" needs to be uploaded to Domain, Hosted web site.

11  OTA updates are a feature of the Sketch.

12. Two web sites, one sketch: "Rain_Gauge_Two.ino"

Note this project is in development; maybe offline or log files may be affected. Server is online 24/7; except during

periods of testing.

Server is a "HiLetGo,” ESP32 Development Board, a GY-BME280 breakout board, purchased from "Ebay.com," a NEO m8n GPS

Module and a "tipping bucket" rain gauge are required for project.

Development board is "Arduino" friendly; can be programed using the Arduino IDE.

Hi William, just catching up with your project. Very impressive.

I'm running a 2 sensor temperature monitor for my greenhouse - 1 probe inside and 1 probe outside - on ESP8266, posting data to a webserver on my private network.

I'm very interested to see that some of your techniques are different to mine; I'm adding a note to my "to do list", to remind me to do some experiments.

Good Morning Neil,

Thank you for reply; it is appreciated. Are you using the Asyncwebserver?  Found it to be very much faster; responding to url requests.

There have been some additional coding on the posted project; added some features and improved other features.

My Github Repositories can be found at https://github.com/tech500/  most recent version of posted project can be found

here:  https://github.com/Tech500/Environmental_Rain_Gauge.

Checkout WIFI status monitoring and logging in the project.  My ISP "pushes" firmware/security patches to Router/Gateway on occasion;

causing loss of WIFI connection.

Hi William

I'm not using Asynchwebserver, because I'm using the web server built in to my Netgear NAS. I chose to use it because it was easy, already there and the NAS is already running 24/7.

It will be a while before I can study your code more deeply.

Thanks again for posting

Neil
