Project 8: Web Server
5 min readApr 6, 2022
This week’s project, we’ll explore on making room monitoring and controlling system using ESP32 Web Server.
Gather the hardware! ESP32, breadboard, jumper wire (just customize it according to your needs, you may need male-to-male, or female-to-male), 330 Ohm resistor, LED, BMP-280 sensor and also microUSB.
After that, as usual put them together according to this scheme.
Connecting the jumper’s tricky, may we be careful enough in this part. Keep an eye on the scheme.
Before running our program, make sure that Adafruit Unified Sensor and Adafruit BMP280 Library are installed in our ArduinoIDE. We can find it by clicking Tools → Manage Library. Just type them down and press install.
Use this code to run the program.

Remember to change the SSID and password to your own wifi.
Now open browser and type the IP address on your browser and press enter.
This will shows, we can also turn the on and off button to turn LED on and off.
