Pi Pico W Multi-Room Thermometer
Pi Pico W Multi-Room Thermometer – WiFi Mesh Temperature 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.
Watch temperatures across three rooms—kitchen, bedroom, living room—streaming live onto one OLED screen, without a central hub. This project uses three Raspberry Pi Pico W boards and waterproof DS18B20 probes that self-organize into a WiFi mesh. Whether you’re logging data for a smart home prototype or preparing for a college hackathon, you’ll bring a real wireless monitoring system to life.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble three independent Pico W sensor nodes, each armed with a waterproof temperature probe, and program them to share readings over their own mesh network. A fourth Pico W acts as the dashboard, pulling data from all nodes and displaying current room temperatures on a crisp 0.96-inch OLED. From the first wired test to the final wireless dashboard, you’ll hold a working multi-point thermometer you can expand with cloud dashboards or mobile alerts.
What You'll Learn
- Deploying DS18B20 one-wire temperature sensors with Raspberry Pi Pico W in MicroPython
- Configuring a WiFi mesh for resilient device-to-device communication
- Reading sensor data and transmitting it wirelessly between multiple microcontrollers
- Creating a live-updating OLED dashboard to visualize real-time temperature streams

Who This Kit Is For
This kit fits CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring IoT concepts in their curriculum, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates building sensor networks for Smart India Hackathon entries, and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors running wireless sensor workshops. It’s equally valuable for engineering students at IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS Pilani prototyping home automation systems, or any maker eager to move beyond single-board projects and into distributed mesh networks.
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?
Our AI companion walks you through every connection and code snippet; you can also message us on WhatsApp for human help within hours.
Can I view the temperatures on my phone?
The default project shows readings on the OLED, but the companion guide includes optional steps to send data to Blynk or ThingSpeak for smartphone dashboards.
How far apart can the sensor nodes be?
The Pico W mesh uses WiFi, so nodes can be placed up to 30–40 meters indoors (through walls) depending on your home layout and router placement.
Do I need soldering?
No, all connections use the breadboards and jumper wires provided. Soldering is not required for the core build.
Three DS18B20 probes on different Pico W nodes report to a central Pico W dashboard over WiFi mesh.
