Smart Window Auto-Close Kit - ESP32 Weather Station with MQTT & Grafana
Smart Window Auto-Close Kit - ESP32 Weather Station with MQTT & Grafana
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Protect your windows from sudden rain and harsh UV by building a smart environmental monitor that triggers alerts-or even an automatic curtain or window motor. The ESP32 reads temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, UV index, and raindrops, then publishes everything to an MQTT broker. A live Grafana dashboard visualises the data in real time, while time-stamped logs are written to a microSD card. You finish with a professional-grade weather node that can form the brain of a window protection system anywhere in India.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a weatherproof sensor node that captures multi-parameter environmental data, pushes it wirelessly to an MQTT server, and graphs historical trends in Grafana via InfluxDB. The 1.8-inch TFT shows live readings locally. On detecting rain or extreme UV, a GPIO pin can trigger a relay to close a window or lower a blind-the hardware pathway is ready, you only need to add the actuator of your choice.
What You'll Learn
- Interface multiple I2C sensors (BMP280, ML8511) and one-wire DHT22 with ESP32
- Time-stamp environmental readings using a DS3231 real-time clock and log them to MicroSD
- Configure MQTT communication to stream live sensor data to a broker
- Build an InfluxDB time-series database and design real-time Grafana dashboards

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech and M.Tech students from ECE, EEE, or CSE streams building IoT final-year projects or competing in Smart India Hackathon will find this kit directly applicable. It also suits home-automation enthusiasts and ATL lab mentors who want a complete, battery-powered weather station that can drive a window actuator-perfect for demonstrating real-world sensor networks in Indian conditions.
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 or drop a WhatsApp message. It understands the exact circuit and code, and can walk you through each step.
Does this kit include a window motor?
No. The kit provides the sensor node and a GPIO-ready signal path. You can connect a relay and motor of your choice; the companion shows wiring examples.
Can I see the dashboard on my mobile?
Yes. Grafana dashboards are fully responsive. The companion guides you through setting up Grafana Cloud or a local server accessible from any browser.
Do I need prior experience with MQTT and InfluxDB?
Some familiarity with Arduino IDE and basic networking helps, but the AI companion explains configuration in detail. Complete beginners may need extra time for the software stack.
Window Protection - ESP32 publishes temperature, humidity, pressure, UV, rain to MQTT broker. Live Grafana dashboard via InfluxDB.
