Reviving a Weather Underground Station with Home Assistant and ESPHome
Reviving a Weather Underground Station with Home Assistant and ESPHome Station IBRIGHTO3 had been dormant for years. Reviving it required no dedicated weather station hardware — just sensors already deployed around the house, a few template conversions in Home Assistant, and a REST command firing every five minutes. Hardware The station currently reports three parameters: Temperature and humidity — AirGradient O-1PS outdoor sensor (SHT40), reporting via MQTT to HA Barometric pressure — DPS310 sensor on an ESP32-C6, integrated via ESPHome native API The DPS310 is a good choice for pressure — it is a high-resolution MEMS barometer with better temperature compensation than the commonly used BME280, and ESPHome has native support for it. ...
