Grafana Sensor Dashboard
Grafana Sensor Dashboard – Turn Your Room into a Live Data Lab with ESP8266
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 a wall‑mounted screen in your room showing live temperature, humidity, and air pressure – just like a weather station, but built by you. This kit takes you from the very first wire to a professional Grafana dashboard displayed on your PC, with real sensor data streaming from your ESP8266. No prior coding or electronics experience is needed: the step‑by‑step AI companion and illustrated guide make the entire journey smooth for kids, hobbyists, and school projects alike.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a compact sensor station that reads the environment using the DHT22 and BMP280 sensors. The ESP8266 NodeMCU sends that data over Wi‑Fi to InfluxDB running on a Raspberry Pi. Finally, Grafana queries InfluxDB and renders beautiful time‑series charts you can watch update live. The result is a personalized, interactive dashboard you can access from any PC in your home network.
What You'll Learn
- Connect and program an ESP8266 to read temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure
- Wire DHT22 and BMP280 sensors using a breadboard and understand I²C and one‑wire protocols
- Install and configure InfluxDB on Raspberry Pi to store time‑series sensor data
- Design and publish a live Grafana dashboard with auto‑refreshing graphs and gauges

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for young explorers aged 5‑15, this kit perfectly fits CBSE Class 11‑12 IoT electives, ATL Tinkering Labs, and Smart India Hackathon senior‑secondary tracks. Parents working with children, beginners in B.Tech ECE/EEE, and IoT club mentors at IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS will find it an ideal hands‑on data‑science introduction. Adult supervision is recommended for the youngest makers.
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 inside the box to activate your AI companion, which offers step‑by‑step troubleshooting. If you still need help, WhatsApp our support team directly — we typically reply within an hour.
Do I need a Raspberry Pi to complete the kit?
Yes, a Raspberry Pi (any model with Wi‑Fi) is required to host InfluxDB and Grafana; the kit provides the complete sensor and microcontroller hardware plus pre‑written setup scripts for the Pi.
Can I view the dashboard on a phone or tablet?
Absolutely. Once Grafana is running on your Pi, the dashboard is accessible through any browser on your PC, tablet, or phone connected to the same network.
Is this kit safe for a 5‑year‑old to use alone?
The kit includes small parts and requires plugging in a USB cable. We recommend adult supervision for children under 8. Older kids can often complete the build independently with the AI guide.
ESP8266 posts data to InfluxDB on Raspberry Pi. Grafana renders beautiful time-series charts on PC.
