This will be topic of one of my next videos.
For now, I'll be working here on the code.
Sensors:

  • BMP280 temperature & pressure sensor (waiting for BME280 to add humidity)
  • BH1750 Lux sensor
  • DS18B20 temperature sensor
  • Rain gauge/sensor
  • Wind speed and direction sensor
    Board also supports UV sensors, but ESPHome doesn't have internal support for it.

As I'm still waiting for some components, currently tested and working is: Temperature and Pressure sensor & rain sensor.
Battery status is not showing correct values and have to tweak it, but it gets charged.
Board goes to deep sleep after 45 seconds and sleeps 5 minutes. This can be further tweaked, but wouldn't recommend going below 4-5 minutes.

Also, there is an issue with wind sensor and looking into replacing it with other to rule out possible hardware incompatibility.

Current ESPHome code for Weather station works great.

I did remove rain gauge from it at the end and converted it to use 9-10$ Aqara Door & Window sensor to track rain. Than in Home Assistant added it via few template sensors and utility meter.
