Dude you need to use a fixed width font to avoid the letters spacing problem. Second, that Impact font is really unreadable from far distance, since you are wasting all that screen estate I suggest to add some big modern geometric fonts like Roboto, San Francisco, Helvetica Neue for example. Also that background has no functionality and makes no contrast, use a simple solid one, a subtle gradient or a very blurred image. Would be nice to change the wallpaper according to the forecast conditions as an addition to the script

Great video, Scott, thank you so much. I was wondering, could you make a video to messure several temperature and several umindity through several esp8266. And than have high temp and low temp switch points, send signal send back to the respective esp8266, where some relays are switched, for example a heater, a fan, a/c dehumidifyer, window-opener, sprinkler, whatever. etc. I think that would be something really usefull, we not quite so smart people could learn and program with.

The question of the day: do you believe the bme280 is accurate? I have constructed already several of those devices and I always had a problem with temperature readings, which in some extreme cases were like 6. 5 degrees off. I I'm aware of self heating issue but that thing does not seem to be the 'large scale' issue. I did not do any tests yes, but is seems that this sensor has some dependency of temperature vs power supply

This is a great project but now day anyone likes to see all sensor value into their mobile phone or their smartwatches. Please try that. I already build this kind of project. This is a just suggestion do not take it otherwise. I like your video very much. Thank you.

Trying to build based on your design. one note so far. your ebay link for the display is not 480x320 but 320x240 so the tft and hmi files provided, while instructive, don't work. None the less, trying to power through.

One hint: Never touch that BME280 directly with your fingers. That's really bad for the sensor because part from your scin are falling in that little hole and will destroy the little diafragma which safes the sensors.

Are you sure that the diodes should be connected in this way?
In this configuration you block the signal from TX to RX, so it can't go through the diode?

Wait. I own an ESP8266 and when it is operating, it is generating heat. Could that influence the sensor readings? (mainly when it is in it's 3D printed enclosure)
