OSOYOO ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module Lesson 2: User browser to monitor remote temperature

In Lesson 1, we use Basic board and OSOYOO ESP8266 WIFI module to make simple website and displayed “Hello World!” in your browser.

In this lesson, we will use DHT11 to grab environment temperature and humidity data and combine the data into your website. Then you can use a browser to monitor the remote temperature and humidity. This kind of application is very useful in farming, fire alarm system and environmental data collection projects.
