Finally got around to trying out a standalone ESP8266 setup on the home sensors. The overkill Arduino + unreliable Bluetooth combo needs to make way for the compact ESP.

Been noticing the ESP8266 without the USB connector(show below). I assume you can use one of the many usb board devices that plug into the non-8266 type board is this true?
Just for fun, here is my kinetic ESP8266 servo clock 😉
Arduino ESP8266 WiFi, on the Cheap!If you are looking for Wifi for for your Arduino Project, look no further! For less than $9 you can add wifi capability to your Arduino Project, without loading down your Arduino with a bunch Read More
Air Pollution Detector with NodeMCU V3 ESP8266 Today I updated my HowTo Guide about the Particulate Matter Sensor project. This is my blog with the instructions: https://www.byteyourlife.com/en/household-tools/particulate-matter-sensor-controller-project-luftdaten-info/7204

ESP8266 Guesswork | Scargill’s Tech BlogHopefully some improvements to typical FLASH storage use on the ESP8266 – awaiting feedback from those who know better… http://tech.scargill.net/esp8266-guesswork/
ESP32 using Arduino IDE works pretty good already and is improving rapidly. The Arduino port does not have Bluetooth yet but the WiFi and all kinds of other stuff works like OLED, and BME280 that I used for this. This Read More
BME680If people are interested in a Bosch BME280, note there is a BME680 as well, with a gas sensor! It’s pin compatible, so… solder away! https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/bst/products/all_products/bme680 Edit: it might be pin compatible, but it does have the same footprint (slightly Read More
