ESP32 Wifi BBQ thermostat and thermometer
For BBQ enthusiasts: this is what you where waiting for: control your coal-fire and monitor the temperature of your meat on your telephone!
This toy was developed for my son Thomas who is an enthusiastic barbecue fan. He has several installations that require a constant temperature for a long time. Also the temperature of the meat must be monitored. This project is a followup of a bluetooth version I made earlier. Due to complaints of the limited range I made this wifi version. The thermostat itself works remarkably well.
The thermostat can be accessed as a station in a network and at the same time as a accespoint for operating without a network.
The temperatures are measured with NTC sensors from a cheap Ikea thermometer.
The coal fire is controlled by regulating the airflow by means of a small fan.
It is powered from a USB power-pack.
The whole project can be made from a few cheap modules and is simple to solder on a breadboard.
The ESP32 is great for this task.
