Topic: Simple DHT Display for my desk using ESP-01 and and old tablet.

As the title says, this is just a simple DHT based Temperature and Humidity desktop display that I made for my desk.

To keep the hardware simple, I used an ESP-01 connected to a DHT11 (I didn't have any spare DHT12) and an old Samsung 8" Tablet that is much too slow for anything else.

The idea I had was for Arc Level gauges that dynamically change colour based on their ranges, via the RGB features of the LED as a background.  But lack of Element background transparency became an issue.  So this is what I currently have...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/swkbtjk6jpd7ck8/ESP-01%20%20and%20DHT11.png?dl=1

At the moment the LED colours are an extremely simple range between green and red for temperature and green and blue for Humidity.  But I may work on a better colour range algorithm in time.

Enjoy.

Re: Simple DHT Display for my desk using ESP-01 and and old tablet.

Hello Gunner!
Thank for this project!
I would like to use the graph in another DHT project, and use this graph.
Can you help me to set the graph "Variabile name", and settings?
I tried a lot of settings, but failed.
Thank you in advance!
