ESP32 BLE HVAC Monitor Kit - Build a Tiny Sensor Beacon
Build a Tiny BLE HVAC Sensor Beacon with ESP32-C3
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Place this coin-cell-sized sensor near an AC vent, and your phone will pick up real-time temperature and humidity-without pairing, without an app, just by scanning for BLE advertisements. The HVAC Performance Monitor Kit turns an ESP32-C3 into a broadcast-only beacon, giving you instant, wire-free monitoring of any space.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a battery-powered ESP32-C3 board that reads a DHT22 sensor and continuously transmits the readings as a BLE advertisement. Open any free BLE scanner app on your phone and you'll see temperature and humidity update every second-no passwords, no pairing pop-ups. It's the quickest way to make a discrete, low-power environmental monitor.
What You'll Learn
- How BLE advertising packets work-from raw data to phone interpretation
- Programming an ESP32-C3 to read and format sensor values
- Structuring a custom advertising payload with temperature and humidity
- Using free mobile apps to read BLE broadcasts from any device

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for ATL Tinkering Labs and school STEM clubs where students 10+ move from simple breadboard circuits to wireless IoT. CBSE Class 10-12 learners can use it to demonstrate BLE communication in their final project. Hobbyists who want a quick, no-solder way to monitor air conditioner performance will have a working beacon in under three hours.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the kit box. The AI companion will walk you through every wire and line of code, and you can message us on WhatsApp for human help if needed.
Can I see temperature history or store data?
This beacon continuously broadcasts live values only. To log data over time, you can connect the ESP32-C3 to a web dashboard or SD card module-we provide sample code to extend the project.
Does this work with both Android and iPhone?
Yes. BLE advertisements are a universal standard; any phone running a free BLE scanner app can read the temperature and humidity data without pairing.
How long can the beacon run on a single coin cell?
With the default 1?second broadcast interval, a CR2032 coin cell typically lasts 3-5 days of continuous operation. Slowing the broadcast rate can extend it further.
