How to make a Temperature and Humidity monitoring system using Nodemcu and Blynk

Hello, welcome back. In this tutorial, we will learn how to make a Temperature monitoring system using the Nodemcu board
and Blynk application. The DHT11 sensor is mainly used for this project. Also, since this project belongs to IoT technology,
we can monitor temperature and humidity from anywhere in the world through the smartphone or tablet. We can use this
system mainly for animal farms, greenhouses, and factories.

When power ON this system. The Nodemcu board connects to the Blynk app through the internet and Blynk cloud. And then,
the Nodemcu board receives values through the DHT11 sensor. Also, those values can be seen on the interface of the Blynk
app and on the LCD.

OK, let’s do this project step by step. The required components are given below.

Nodemcu board x 1 — Amazon / Banggood

DHT11 sensor x 1 — Amazon / Banggood
LCD display x 1 — Amazon / Banggood
I2C module x 1 — Amazon / Banggood
Breadboard x 1 — Amazon / Banggood
Jumper wires — Amazon / Banggood

Step 1

Firstly,identify these components.

Code Explanation

Firstly, libraries are included.

#define BLYNK_PRINT Serial

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
#include <DHT.h>

Secondly, objects are created for these libraries,

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);

DHT dht(D3, DHT11); //(sensor pin,sensor type)

Thirdly, includes the Blynk auth token and WIFI connection details as follows.

char auth[] = "DPOPmn8DiqBjklFYXy0itleC1Szog"; //Enter the Auth code which was send by Blink
char ssid[] = "srituhobby"; //Enter your WIFI Name
char pass[] = "123456"; //Enter your WIFI Password

This is main function of this program,

void sendSensor() {
// Humidity and temperature values are obtained and these values are inserted into float
variables
float h = dht.readHumidity();
float t = dht.readTemperature();

// The sensor is checked

if (isnan(h) || isnan(t)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
return;
}

// These values are printed on the LCD

lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
lcd.print("Temp : ");
lcd.print(t);
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("Humi : ");
lcd.print(h);
// These values are printed on the Blynk app
Blynk.virtualWrite(V0, t);
Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, h);
}

In the setup function,

void setup() {

//The wire library is begin

Wire.begin(D2, D1);

//The I2C library is begin

lcd.init();

// LCD backlight is turns on

lcd.backlight();

//The Blynk library is begin using the Blynk auth token and WIFI connections deatails
Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass);

//The DHT11 sensor is begin

dht.begin();

// This code is called the main function

timer.setInterval(100L, sendSensor);
}

In the loop function, the Blynk library is run.

I have two options for that. First, please adjust the contrast of your LCD. The other is to check your jumper wire and LCD.
