AMB01 Weather Station - Realtek Ameba RTL8195 demo#004

This video demonstrates how an IoT-ready device (Ameba RTL8195) is applied in real-life scenarios. If you have watched our previous demo videos, you should have no problem understanding how an LCD display, a DHT Temperature Humidity sensor and our Ameba dev. Board can be put together to form a fully functional smart weather station. Simply follow the instructions in our examples as follows to DIY your own weather station,

1. LCD 24H Clock
2. MQTT
3. DHT+MQTT

The key to integrate these 3 examples successfully is to make sure that you have set up your MQTT server correctly and note that here we are using a different set of MQTT topics, namely “dht_data” and “dht_status”. Also, when connect DHT sensor, D13 pin is used as data input pin.

With this smart weather station, you may,
1. Check real-time temperature and humidity from the LCD display
2. Receive warning message when abnormal humidity (higher than 80%) is detected
3. Query your home/office humidity and temperature on-the-go

Of course, there is always room for creativity. Imagine your weather station which is safely stationed at home and detects that humidity is higher than 80%, this could be because it is raining, and you forgot to close the window. Now if you happen to have installed a smart windows system, then you may ask Ameba to send a close-all-windows command via MQTT to prevent your room from getting completely wet.
