Greenhouse Climate Monitor Kit with ESP32 - Find by Name, Not IP
Greenhouse Climate Monitor Kit with ESP32 - Access Your Greenhouse Readings by Hostname, Not IP
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine walking into your greenhouse and opening any phone or laptop browser to compoden.local to instantly see the current temperature and humidity - no IP address, no port forwarding. This kit equips you with an ESP32, DHT22 sensor, and all supporting components to build a Wi-Fi-connected climate monitor that announces itself by name on your local network. In about 2 hours, you'll have a live dashboard that anyone on the same Wi-Fi can reach.
What You'll Build
A self-contained monitoring station that reads the DHT22 every few seconds and displays live temperature and humidity on a web page served by the ESP32. Two indicator LEDs light up - one blinks when humidity crosses a threshold, the other when temperature does. Because the ESP32 registers the mDNS hostname compoden.local, you can type that name into any browser on your local network instead of hunting for a changing IP address.
What You'll Learn
- Program the ESP32 to read temperature and humidity from a DHT22 sensor
- Create a simple web server on the ESP32 that displays live sensor readings
- Configure mDNS so your device responds to a friendly hostname, not an IP
- Breadboard a circuit with LEDs, resistors, and a sensor, powered via USB

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is perfect for students in CBSE-affiliated schools working on Class 11-12 IoT projects, for ATL Tinkering Lab sessions, and for young makers exploring connected devices. It introduces networking concepts without the complexity of cloud services - the data stays on your local network, visible to any browser that knows the hostname.
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 box to launch the AI companion trained specifically for this kit. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for a quick reply - we'll help you debug any connection or wiring issue.
Will this kit help me learn about IoT and networking?
Absolutely. You'll see how a microcontroller serves web pages and uses mDNS to make itself discoverable by name on your local Wi-Fi - core concepts behind many smart home devices.
Can I access the climate data from outside my home Wi-Fi?
No, this kit is built for local network access only. The hostname compoden.local resolves only on your router's network. Remote access would require additional configuration like port forwarding, which is beyond the scope of this beginner project.
Do I need to install any software on my laptop?
Yes, you'll need the free Arduino IDE to upload the code to the ESP32. Any modern web browser will display the monitor page. Our AI guide walks you through the installation process.
Greenhouse - ESP32 registers compoden.local mDNS hostname. Any browser on local network finds it by name not IP.
