Setup a weather station with ESP8266 ESP-01, DHT22 and BMP280. It also come with remote switch.
Note:
The experience from this project can be transfer to another project quickly. Such as application with I2C and ESP8266. The MQTT setup is not part of the scope of this project demonstration; therefore, it is not discussed here.
Learned lesson:
1. How to program ESP8266 ESP-01. See my other post at https://ap170210.blogspot.com/2020/03/program-esp8266-01-with-usb-to-esp8266.html
2. CH_PD/EN has to connect to 3.3V in order to work properly.
3. I2C set up with ESP8266 is different from Arduino. For example, I must add Wire.pins(0, 2); Wire.begin(0, 2); in order to make I2C work. But Arduino Uno does not need it.
4. The location of SCL and SDA on ESP8266.
5. When program GPIO0 (not in this example) since it is grounded during the programming, do NOT set it to HIGH, it will damage your chip.

//In order function properly, CH_PD/EN must connect to 3.3V
//BMP280 SDA -- ESP-01 GPIO0
//BMP280 SCL -- ESP-01 GPIO2
//BMP280 VCC -- 3.3V
//BMP280 GND -- GND
//DHT22 signal -- Tx(GPIO1)
//DHT22 VCC -- 3.3V
//DHT22 GND -- GND
//ESP-01 CH_PD/EN -- 3.3V
