## About
The Environment Measurement Plugin will allow nodes to send a specific message with information from connected environmental sensors. Currently supported sensors are DHT11 and Dallas 1-wire DS18B20. This plugin does only work on ESP32 devices.
The Environment Measurement Plugin will allow nodes to send a specific message with information from connected environmental sensors. Currently supported sensors are BME280, BME680, DHT11, DHT12, DHT21, DHT22 and Dallas 1-wire DS18B20.
The preferred setup is using I2C, so the `environmental_measurement_plugin_sensor_pin` may not be needed.

## Usage Notes
@ -63,22 +70,22 @@ For basic usage, start with:
environmental_measurement_plugin_enabled = 1
environmental_measurement_plugin_screen_enabled = 1
Depending on which pin your sensor is connected to, set it accordingly:
environmental_measurement_plugin_sensor_pin = 13
:::note
The device must be restarted after the settings have been changed for the plugin to take effect.
:::
## Hardware
The sensors can be wired differently, here's one example for sensor DS18B20 https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-ds18b20-temperature-arduino-ide
## Known Problems
* No default configuration values are currently set, so this must be done when enabling the plugin.
