WhatsTheWeather (WTW) is a compact weather station built around an ESP32 DevKit C. WTW Combines Live weather data from the internet with Local temprature readings from and onboard sensor. The data is displayed on an OLED Screen, While LEDS Provide a quick visual indication of the current weather temprature, and yes, it is not supposed to have a case, IT IS ASTHETIC ✨

What did you make?
I made WhatsTheWeather (WTW), a compact weather station built around an ESP32 DevKit C. It gets live weather data from the internet and also takes local temperature and humidity readings using a sensor. The information is displayed on an OLED screen, while LEDs give a quick visual indication of the current temperature.
What was challenging?
Most of the project went pretty smoothly, but getting the Wi-Fi connection working properly was probably the most challenging part. It took a bit more troubleshooting than the other parts of the project, especially when connecting the ESP32 to the internet and getting it to reliably receive the weather data.
What are you proud of?
I’m most proud of how everything came together into one working device. The ESP32 connects to the internet, gets real weather data, reads from a physical sensor, and displays everything on the OLED and LEDs. Seeing all of those different parts work together was probably the best part of building WTW.
What should people know to test your product?
Since WTW is a hardware project, the easiest way to see how it works is through the demo video provided. It shows the device running and demonstrates its main features, including the OLED display, temperature readings, and LED indicators.

Rewrote the code again (lol) to use normal LEDS for weather info instead of the single WS2812 as the ESP32 was browning out as it already has 2 things to power (DHT 11 and oled) and the WS2812 needed 5v, so simply swapped it out and reprogrammed, works beautifully now !

Replaced the adressable led with normal leds as the esp32 was having issues powering it along with all the other components and wifi, now i just gotta reprogram it as the entire code was based from the WS2812 led

Re did the code as i left it half done yesterday and i forgot the logic lol :dumb:
What the code does is basically it gets the local weather from open-meteo (internet) and also the sensor data from the DHT11, then it shows it on the oled and shows colours like red, green or blue depending on weather conditions on the addressable leds. the code if for an esp32, forgot to mention that :esp32:
