Bosch BME280 Environmental Monitor

This project focuses on building a compact, efficient, and wireless environmental monitoring station. At its core, it uses a Raspberry Pi Pico W paired with the Bosch BME280 sensor.

The software is written in MicroPython, making it easy to iterate on. By leveraging the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol, the Pico W reads temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure data directly from the BME280 sensor module.

Instead of just logging the data locally, the system takes advantage of the Pico W's onboard Wi-Fi capabilities. It formats the collected environmental telemetry and securely publishes it to an MQTT broker. This allows the data to be easily consumed in real-time by smart home systems (like Home Assistant), dashboard applications, or custom data-logging backend services.
