Crocodile-Solar-Pool-Sensor

A rather special looking pool sensor measuring the pool temperature and transmitting it via WiFi to Blynk App and to a MQTT broker https://www.instructables.com/id/Crocodile-Solar-Pool-Sensor/

Version 1.0

  • Fully independent from power sources (solar panel feeds the LiPo battery)
  • Low power ESP8266 WiFi connected sensor
  • Rather high precision temperature sensor (DS 18b20)
  • Data transmission of temp and voltage to Blynk APP for your mobile phone
  • Data transmission of temp and voltage to a MQTT broker (can be switched on/off in Settings.h)

Version 1.1

  • Corrected error handling if there is no WiFi

Version 1.2

  • added switch to change between Celsius and Fahrenheit (Settings.h --> is_metric true or false)

Version 1.3

  • added NTP time fetch, DST conversion and data transmission of last update timestamp to Blynk APP

Version 1.4

  • added battery saving mode when batt level goes below 3.3 V
