Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit with ESP32 + Camera
Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit — Real-Time AR Overlay with ESP32 Camera
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Preserve your wine collection with a climate monitor that overlays temperature and humidity directly onto a live camera feed of your cellar. Using the ESP32-S3 camera module and a TFT display, this advanced project transforms raw sensor data into an augmented reality heads-up display, giving you instant visual awareness of your storage conditions without separate instruments.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a complete monitoring system that captures real-time video of your wine cellar, reads ambient temperature from a DHT22 and barometric pressure/humidity from a BMP280, and renders the readings as AR text superimposed on the video stream via the ILI9341 TFT screen. The result is a compact, standalone device that shows both the visual state of your cellar and critical climate metrics in one glance — no phone app or cloud dashboard required.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing OV2640 camera with ESP32-S3 for live video capture over SPI
- Reading environmental data from DHT22 and BMP280 sensors using I2C and one-wire protocols
- Layering text and graphics onto a video frame buffer for real-time augmented reality on a TFT display
- Integrating power management and PCB prototyping for a self-contained embedded system

Who This Kit Is For
This kit targets advanced makers: B.Tech ECE/EEE students diving into IoT and embedded vision, Smart India Hackathon teams needing rapid prototyping, and hobbyists from IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS who want to explore computer vision on microcontrollers. It assumes prior experience with Arduino IDE or ESP-IDF, basic soldering, and reading sensor datasheets.
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?
Open the AI companion from the QR code; it provides step-by-step debugging specific to this kit. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for direct engineer support.
Can I use this kit to monitor multiple shelves?
The kit captures a single camera view. For multiple zones, you would need additional sensor modules and a multiplexer — the AI companion can guide you on expansion options.
What power options does the enclosure support?
The included 5V 3A PSU connects via a barrel jack on the enclosure. You can also power the board via USB-C for bench testing before final assembly.
Is the AR overlay customizable?
Yes, the provided firmware is open. You can change font size, position, and the data displayed. The AI companion explains the code structure so you can adapt it easily.
