This project is a smart and interactive clock built using the ESP8266 module. It combines essential timekeeping features with a modern design and advanced functionalities, such as alarms, weather updates, dynamic animations, and web-based configuration. The device uses an OLED display for a sleek time and date presentation, while the WS2812 LED enhances the experience with colorful visual cues.
The ESP8266 connects to your Wi-Fi network, enabling it to:
- Fetch real-time time data from an NTP server.
- Retrieve live weather information via APIs.
- Host a web-based configuration interface for user settings.
Once connected, the clock displays its IP address on the OLED screen.
The OLED screen showcases:
- Time: Hours and minutes are prominently displayed.
- Seconds: Updated dynamically for precision.
- Date: Day, month, and year are shown in an elegant format.
The display transitions smoothly between time, date, and other features using eye-catching animations.
A WS2812 RGB LED provides visual feedback for the day of the week:
- Each day is represented by a unique color, such as red for Sunday, green for Monday, and blue for Tuesday.
- The LED brightness is adjustable and complements the clock's aesthetic.
The clock includes an ambient light sensor to adjust the OLED brightness automatically based on the surrounding light. Users can also manually configure brightness levels through the web interface.
The clock supports multiple alarms and a countdown timer, all configurable via the web interface:
- Alarms: Set daily alarms with customizable times.
- Countdown Timer: Perfect for reminders or time-sensitive tasks.
The alarms and timers are saved to persistent memory, ensuring settings remain intact even after power loss.
Stay informed about local weather conditions with live data fetched from an API:
- Temperature: Displayed in degrees Celsius.
- Humidity: Monitored to provide current atmospheric conditions.
- Weather Conditions: Indications like sunny, cloudy, or rainy weather.
Weather data is updated periodically whenever the device connects to the internet.
A user-friendly web interface allows you to:
- Configure Wi-Fi credentials.
- Set alarms and timers.
- Adjust display brightness and other settings.
- Enable or disable specific features.
Simply connect to the clock's IP address to access the control panel from any browser.
The OLED display includes smooth and visually appealing animations for:
- Switching between time and date.
- Transitioning to weather updates.
- Alarm notifications.
These animations enhance the user experience and bring the clock to life.
All user settings, including alarms, Wi-Fi credentials, and brightness preferences, are stored using the ESP8266's LittleFS file system. This ensures:
- Settings are preserved across reboots.
- Users don’t need to reconfigure the device after power loss.
