#58579 Greetings,
i have plan a "little" project. I want to watch all my plants with a ESP8266 and a humidity detector module (like the FC-28). The problem here is i have around 10 plants and now is my question:
Should i make one esp with one humidity detector or should i make myself a cluster like ... 5 humidity detector on one ESP. Sure, the wiring will be like hell, but what is the most efficient way to make that projekt to happen? And i'm not a professionel at wiring or making a cluster connected with a ESP :P

See ya!

#58603 if plants are all together in one garden, its ok to connect multiple sensors to one esp8266.
but if plants are scattered around your house, like, 3 in front garden, 2 at the back, etc, doing 1 esp 1 sensor would be easier.
