In this project you’ll learn how to monitor the values recorded by the LDR sensor and the DHT11 sensor only.Create a new project in the Blynk appAfter you’ve download the app and you’ve successfully logged into your account, start by creating a new project.Choose your hardwareSelect the hardware model you will use. If you are following this tutorial you ll probably be using an ESP32 board.Auth TokenAuth Token is a unique identifier which is needed to connect your hardware to your smartphone. Every new project you create will have its own Auth Token. You’ll get Auth Token automatically on your email after project creation. You can also copy it manually. Click on devices section and selected required device, And you’ll see the tokenSet up the Blynk appYou will need to create a project on blynk which is tailored for the purpose of monitoring the parameters recorded by the weather station. Grab 3 value display widgets.Configure them one by one. The first will receive V6 as input, the second V5 and the third V0. You ll notice that they re all set to push mode.Program the ESP32 boardLaunch arduino IDE and open <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1qojsMLKxtJ1t5BSFP7_4LXAHF2UPVZJM">this </a>program. Select the board you re using from the Tools menu, as well as the correct Port. Upload the code. If upload is successful, you should be able to see a message from Blynk on the serial monitor.<figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/044a3ecb-9423-406c-a901-9ddd88d1ad22.jpg /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure>This tutorial has been produced as part of the DEEDU project, co-financed by the Erasmus + Programme of the European commission.
