ESP32 MQTT Home Sensor Network Kit with ESP32 + DHT22
Build a 5-Node Wireless Sensor Network with ESP32, MQTT & Node-RED Dashboard
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 monitoring temperature, humidity, and pressure from five different rooms in your home on a single live dashboard — all without a single cloud service. This kit makes that a reality with five ESP32 nodes, MQTT communication, and a Node-RED interface. It’s the ideal way to understand distributed sensor networks and local data pipelines without piecing together parts from multiple sellers.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble and program five wireless sensor nodes that publish environmental data to a local Mosquitto broker. A Node-RED dashboard displays real-time charts and gauges, accessible on any device on your network. The result is a fully functioning, expandable home monitoring system you can demonstrate in school projects, hackathons, or personal portfolios.
What You'll Learn
- Configure ESP32 boards for WiFi and MQTT communication with QoS levels
- Interface DHT22 and BMP280 sensors using Arduino libraries and I2C/1-Wire protocols
- Set up and secure a Mosquitto MQTT broker on a local machine
- Create interactive dashboards in Node-RED with live data feeds and real-time charting

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11–12 students taking IoT as a skill subject, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates building communication lab projects, and participants in Smart India Hackathon or ATL Tinkering Lab mentors who need a reliable, reproducible multi-node sensor setup. No prior MQTT experience is required — the build path introduces each concept as you go.
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 talk to the AI companion trained specifically on this 5-node sensor network project. If you need more help, reach our team on WhatsApp, and we’ll guide you through from breadboard to dashboard.
Do I need any prior knowledge of MQTT or Node-RED?
Not at all. The included step-by-step documentation introduces MQTT fundamentals, explains how to install Mosquitto on Windows, macOS, or Linux, and walks you through building a Node-RED flow from scratch.
Can I expand the network with more than five nodes?
Absolutely. The Mosquitto broker can handle dozens of topics. Once you’ve completed the initial build, the concepts scale directly — you can add more ESP32 boards and sensors with minor code changes, and the dashboard updates automatically.
What computer setup is required to run the broker and dashboard?
Any laptop or desktop running Windows 10/11, macOS, or a Linux distribution can host Mosquitto and Node-RED. The kit includes OS-specific installation scripts so the software side is ready in minutes.
Five ESP32 sensor nodes publish to a local Mosquitto broker. Node-RED dashboard shows all readings live.
