Expanding ESP32-Based Weather Station: Seeking Advice on Multi-Sensor Integration and Data Logging

Hi SparkFun Community,

I’ve been working on a weather station project using the ESP32 and DHT11 sensor to monitor temperature and humidity. I recently came across this detailed tutorial on interfacing the DHT11 with ESP32 (Blog - The Engineering Projects). Inspired by this, I’m aiming to enhance my setup by integrating additional sensors like the BMP280 for pressure readings and possibly a rain sensor. My goal is to create a comprehensive environmental monitoring system that logs data locally and also sends it to a cloud platform for remote access. I’m seeking advice on:
Best practices for integrating multiple sensors with the ESP32. Efficient methods for data logging and cloud synchronization. Recommendations on power management for continuous operation.
Has anyone undertaken a similar project or have insights to share? Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated.

We don’t have anything specific to the DHT11, but other DHT models will likely be very similar…There are a lot of examples on youtube or other IoT/hardware sites…

If you’d like an integrated solution, we have this SparkFun DataLogger IoT (take a look at the ready-to-run/log sensors list on the product page, it has PHT sensors, environmental sensors, etc that can be seamlessly added!) that has several integration guides for iot & cloud services (see left side here)
