    NodeMCU API Sketch With 5 Temp and 1 Humidity Sensor, and 4 Line LCD Panel Example

    This is a small write-up to show how we are monitoring temperature from 5 different points in our garage around the gas water heater. It started out as a project to see if we could monitor temperature using the API sketch and it grew to include humidity and a 4 line LCD.

    The NodeMCU units are fairly small and reasonably priced, so we use them throughout the house to monitor and report on a number of things, such as contacts, temperature, and humidity,

    This unit has 4 DS18B20 One Wire temperature sensors hanging off the NodeMCU. One temp sensor for each water line (hot and cold), the other two sensors monitor temperature from the top and bottom of the water heater unit. The unit also has two LEDs on it that I flash from one to the other as a visual indication that the NodeMCU is reading through the sensors. As the lights jump from one to the other, the LCD also has a flashing spot up in the right upper quadrant. In that section of the LCD there two asterisks that move left and right, sorta like a ping pong ball effect. I have not had any issue with the unit since it was deployed. these things just seem to work. The unit uses the Arduino plugin API to function.

    The NodeMCU unit is mounted in a small Tupperware container. This helps to protect it and also finds a cool use for some of our old Tupperware containers. I also used some Knexs to hold the LCD and right now the digital temperature and humidity sensor is just hanging off to the side. Over the years, along with our kids, we have built countless things with the Knexs (see https://www.knex.com/). Funny, I found a use for them years later with Home Automation. The plan is to mount it in a more suitable location in the garage in the future.

    Some pictures of the completed device in its working location.

    This is a picture of complete unit resting on the side of the water heater, it has the LCD angled down for easy viewing from the workbench.

    This picture shows a close-up of the LCD. Two pictures showing the double asterisks bouncing back and forth.

    These are links the parts used in the project. FYI, I have no vested interested in the sellers of the parts on Amazon. These worked for me, they delivered what I ordered, it was on time and at the time had a reasonable price.

    Very cool. Are you using 3.3V for VDD and VPU on the OneWire Devices? If so, are they reliable? I’m getting ready to test some DS18B20 sensors on a NodeMCU for a friend. Are you still using a 4.7K pull-up?

      I am using 10k resistors for the individual DS18B20 temperature sensor runs on the 3.3 volt output. I have experimented with different value resistors on the single temperature sensor runs, these seem to work well in my setup. I bought a kit some time back and it had some in it, thought I would give them a try. Using the 10k resistors on the DS10B20 sensors seem to allow the units to report a little quicker.

      These NodeMCU units work really well, have a small footprint, wireless, reliable, and have lots of potential. If you have not messed with them much before, I believe you will be pleased.

      Thanks

        Bdraper,
        I like it. I especially like the led screen. I use the NodeMCU units as well, but with AM2303 sensors and a barometric sensor. I use one with the sensor and also LEDs to let me know if the hot water recirculate pump is on, or doors are unlocked. I have used the one-wire sensors similar to what you have done, but connected to a raspberry pi and use MQTT protocol to get the data into Homeseer. I haven't attached the one-wire sensors to a NodeMCU before.
        Here are a couple of pictures of my setup:
        The button turns on and off the hot water recirculation pump with mqtt as well.

            I am using 4 of them already for LCD displays. I used some little stands I picked up on eBay. I'm testing the new version of Greig's plugin with OneWire and Analog support, so I am going to add a DS18B20 to each. About an hour ago I connected one with a 4.7K and using 3.3V. It is working very well. Tomorrow I may try adding a couple more to the single pin, just for grins.



            I posted about them in 2017 here

            The data is still about the same for the two general displays, I also have one specific to the heating system and another specific to energy.

            Time, outside temp, humidity
            Occupancy schedule, hot water temperature and the + means it is currently heating
            Total energy today and current energy
            Sunrise, sunset and moon percentage

              Thanks to all for sharing your setups. I've been wanting to get some temperature readings into Homeseer. This thread pushed me into action - I've ordered a few parts so I can give it a try...

                Thanks Billy (bdraper) for sharing and taking the time to detail your setup. Being an Arduino noob, I cut down your code to just the DHT22 sections and have mine up and reporting temp and Humidity. Can I ask which DHT library you used? That took me the longest to figure out which to install as there are a number of options. I used Seed Studios

                Based on this thread, what attracted me to HS3 instead of other HA software was it flexibility and customization capabilities. What is challenging with HS3 is the flexibility. Just for getting temperature, there is so many ways, its mind boggling. Now I'm going to look at MQTT as that opens up even more possibilities :-)

                    Sorry, I never even thought about posting any of the libraries... thanks for asking. I will try to update the post this weekend...

                    This is the DHT Library that i have installed.

                      Thanks for posting this. Could you possibly point me to the LiquidCrystal_I2C library you used? I'm having trouble finding one that works.

                      Thanks in advance,

                        Sure, no problem. I was going to update the original post but ran into the limit no more than 6 pictures per post.

                        Used Arduino IDE version 1.8.1

                        See this link for the NewLiquidCrystal library used in the project https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/ne...stal/wiki/Home

                        These are the libraries and version used in the sketch.
