ESP Easy

ESP Easy is an interesting piece of firmware, it really makes interfacing to an ESP 8266 a breeze. It has a very comprehensive user interface to configure practically everything: MQTT setup All the GPIO pins behaviour. Configure the supported sensors setting. Configure the OLED to display the value of the sensors. and more... In this setup, I used my custom Wemos D1 Mini shield extender to connect to additional I2C devices. I have connected to a BMP280 temperature/pressure sensor and a TSL2561 luminosity sensor. For fun, I have also connected the DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor. All this setup is done without writing a single line of code. Amazing. Kudos to ESP Easy. One interesting observation, the temperature reading from DHT11 and BMP280 differs by abt 1.5 to 2 C. I wonder which sensor is accurate?
