[FEATURE]: Single ESP32 board with all sensors included

[vimes1984]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently to run multiple enclosures on terrarium PI it requires either individual off the shelf sensors of differing types or wiring directly into the Raspberry PI.

Describe the solution you'd like
Building a esp32 WIFI enabled breakout board, that will accept a collection of sensors and offer a json endpoint with tasmota so we can have one sensor array per terrarium.

Additional context
We've started the basic design here, and added got a basic breadboarded prototype working with Tasmota...
You can see the basic wiring diagram here:

As we work through this from breadboard to breakout ESP32 board we'll keep that repo updated with more details.!
Just thought we'd let you know @theyosh :)

Hi @vimes1984

This is cool. I am currently playing with a ESP8266 ( https://components101.com/development-boards/nodemcu-esp8266-pinout-features-and-datasheet ) and Micropython to read out some senors and provide a JSON endpoint.

My experience with the ESP8266 is that there is not much memory to run everything. And that a ESP32 is a bit stronger.

But this is very cool to make. And makes is more easier to add more sensors on difficult to reach locations.

Have you looked into tasmota yet? I'm pretty sure it'll work out the esp 8266's and it'll do the JSON output for you out of the box:) getting this esp32 wired up with UVB/temp/temp+humidity only took a day or two of futzing on the esp32's

He, I like to program myself :P

Fair enough!!

But I can confirm using Tasmota works way better :P And it is that easy to do.

Based on Tasmota, adding a sensor would go through https://theyosh.github.io/TerrariumPI/hardware/sensor/remote-sensor/ and using the following url: http://[TasmotaIP]/cm?cmnd=Status%200#StatusSNS/DS18B20-2/Temperature

Where the part of -2 is the second DS18B20 sensor.

Following! This seems great!
