Welcome to my Station_meteo project !

This is a home made weather station based on MQTT (IoT transmission protocol) using ESP8266, ESP32 hardware, various sensors and a WeeWX to take care of the database and report generation.

WeeWX and MQTT server (mosquitto) are setup on an Orange Pi PC PLUS (low cost raspberry pi-like)

Sensors are connected directly to the orange pi (barometer) or to the wifi network using very low cost ESP8266 boards.
