Review on ESP8266 Weather Station Kit with Multiple Sensors & OLED Display for Arduino IDE IoT Starter (Guidance Document Included) by David Butterfield

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Quick and easy way to get started with the ESP8266

I ordered a weather station and smart switch kit. Both came in nice compact packaging and most items were packed in ESD protected bags. I say most because there wasn't an ESP8266, but there was. So for me it was weird. The included instructions and code were clear and complete. The assembly diagrams and what changes to make to the code were helpful and worthwhile. I'm glad they provide ESP code through the Arduino interface, probably because I'm familiar with Arduino. There is also a firmware. called EasyESP, able to achieve almost the same goal. Potentially, this cannot offer a beautiful on-screen interface. It would be nice to include an interface or software for designing screen layouts and fonts. One final note, the seller was very quick to provide links to download the appropriate code as newer computers do not have floppy drives. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • keep quiet
