The DHT11 sensor provides temperature and humidity. The BME280 sensor provides temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude. On the BME sensor altitude is reckoned using barometric pressure and sealevel pressure - i didnt want to mess with that because my sensors will be distrubuted. Because of that I set altitude as a contant for the location im setting up for. The BME280 sensor provides temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude.

the bme280 sensor is connected like this: the bme280 sensor is connected like this:
* sensor + ---> esp 3.3v * sensor + ---> esp 3.3v
* sensor gnd ---> esp gnd * sensor gnd ---> esp gnd
* sensor SCL ---> esp SCL (d1/gpio 5) * sensor SCL ---> esp SCL (d1/gpio 5)
* sensor SDA ---> esp SDA (d2/gpio 4) * sensor SDA ---> esp SDA (d2/gpio 4)
For the solar charging i wanted to stay as close to a gardenlight as possible - so i am using a 5v 500mAh solar panel
and a lm4056 breakout board to charge 4x 1.2v NIMH rechargable batteries, which powers the station. Here is a schematic i got off the net:
