Built around dual ESP8266 microcontrollers, the system publishes sensor data to an MQTT broker, giving you a professional-grade lab safety monitoring network that mirrors industrial IoT deployments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll create a complete lab monitoring network: two ESP8266-based sensor nodes, each with its own OLED display, publishing to a common MQTT broker. A Node-RED flow on your laptop subscribes to the data and renders live gauges and time-series graphs for gas concentration (MQ‑2), temperature \u0026amp; humidity (DHT22), and atmospheric pressure (BMP280). The dashboard logs historical values so you can analyse trends over hours or days.
