Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit with ESP32 + DHT22 v15
Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit with ESP32 + DHT22 – Build an Animated Dashboard for Perfect Storage
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform your wine cellar into a smart storage solution. This kit walks you through assembling a climate monitor that senses temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure with industrial-grade sensors, then displays the readings on a vivid 2.4‑inch TFT as animated weather cards – all powered by an ESP32 and LVGL graphics. Whether you are protecting a prized collection or experimenting with IoT dashboards, the build delivers immediate, tangible value.
What You'll Build
You'll construct a standalone monitoring station that continuously tracks the microclimate inside your wine cellar. The ESP32 reads data from a DHT22 (temperature and humidity) and a BMP280 (pressure and altitude-compensated temperature), processes the values, and renders them on a colour TFT. The display uses LVGL to draw animated cards that resemble a professional weather app, pulling live API data for outdoor conditions so you can compare cellar stability against external shifts. Everything runs autonomously once powered via USB.
What You'll Learn
- Interface DHT22 and BMP280 sensors using one-wire and I2C protocols
- Program a real-time data pipeline on the ESP32 that logs and timestamps readings
- Design animated graphical interfaces with the LVGL library on a TFT ILI9341
- Fetch and parse weather API data to overlay outdoor context on local sensor dashboards

Who This Kit Is For
Wine collectors and hobbyists who want a reliable, always-on climate display will appreciate the polished LVGL interface. Engineering students from B.Tech ECE or IIT/NIT/VIT can use this as a capstone IoT project; the sensor integration and API handling align perfectly with Smart India Hackathon themes. CBSE Class 11‑12 students exploring embedded systems will also find it a rewarding intermediate challenge, as will ATL Tinkering Lab mentors looking for a data-visualisation module.
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 open the project-specific AI companion, or drop us a message on WhatsApp. We’ll help you troubleshoot in real time.
Can I leave this monitor running 24/7 in my cellar?
Yes. The ESP32 sips power and the OLED-free TFT is designed for continuous use. Just supply 5 V via the included Micro USB cable.
Does the display work without a WiFi connection?
Local sensor data from the DHT22 and BMP280 appears with full LVGL animations even offline. The weather API card updates only when WiFi is available; the dashboard continues to log all readings.
What wine storage conditions does this kit monitor?
It measures temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure – the three most critical variables for ageing wine. Threshold alerts can be added in code to warn if the cellar deviates from ideal ranges.
Wine Storage — LVGL graphics library on ESP32 renders animated weather cards on 2.4in TFT from API data.
