Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a fun project I worked on over the weekend—a DIY weather station!
I used a NodeMCU, BME280 for temperature, humidity, and pressure, and a BH1750 for luminosity. The data gets displayed on an old LCD screen I found from my Arduino days. It’s been a great way to keep an eye on the weather right from my living room!
I also wanted to talk about something I’ve been experimenting with in my smart home setup. I’ve been trying to incorporate more themed lighting, and I have to say, setting up The Witcher-themed ambiance has been a blast! ![]()
I paired dynamic lighting with some eerie music to create the perfect atmosphere for movie nights. It’s amazing how a little tweak can completely change the vibe of a room!On a more technical note, I’ve been exploring how to optimize my network setup. I came across a tip about adjusting the OpenThread link request interval, which really helped stabilize my mesh network. If anyone’s dealing with connectivity issues, tweaking these settings might be worth a shot!
Lastly, I just wanted to give a shoutout to the incredible community here. Seeing all the creative projects and helpful tips people share is truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work! ![]()
