Introducing the ESP32 Green Monitor Webserver
The ESP32 Green Monitor Webserver is an open-source IoT project designed to provide remote control and automation for ESP32 devices using MicroPython and the MicroWebSrv2 library.
- ✅ Monitor and control GPIO ports via a web interface
- ✅ Set automated timers for connected devices
- ✅ Secure connections with SSL (HTTPS) support
- ✅ Run on ESP32 with SPIRAM (due to memory requirements)
Perfect for home automation, smart agriculture, or industrial IoT applications, this project brings flexibility and accessibility to embedded systems.
Key Features & Showcase
1. Web-Based Device Control
Access the ESP32's GPIO pins from any browser, enabling:
- Remote switching of lights, motors, or sensors
- Real-time status updates
- Timer-based automation (via
devicetimer.json)
2. Secure & Lightweight
- Built with MicroWebSrv2, optimized for low-memory devices.
- Supports SSL encryption for secure remote access.
3. Cross-Platform Compatibility
- Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Uses rshell + rsync for seamless file transfers.
Installation Guide
Prerequisites
Hardware:
- ESP32 with SPIRAM (e.g., ESP32-WROVER).
- USB cable for flashing.
Software:
rshell,esptool, andrsync(install viapip).
pip install rshell esptool
# Linux/macOS: Install rsync via package manager
# Windows: Use cwRsync
Step 1: Flash MicroPython
Erase the ESP32 and flash the latest MicroPython firmware:
esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 write_flash -z 0x1000 esp32-firmware.bin
(Replace /dev/ttyUSB0 with your ESP32's port.)
Step 2: Upload the Webserver
Sync files to the ESP32 using rshell:
rshell --buffer-size=30 -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -a -e nano
rsync . /pyboard
Step 3: Access the Webserver
- Connect the ESP32 to Wi-Fi (configure
wifi_config.json). - Open the ESP32's IP in a browser.
Customization & Usage
- Edit
devicetimer.jsonto configure automated tasks. - Modify
www/files to customize the web UI (HTML/CSS/JS). - Debug via REPL (
Ctrl+Dinrshell).
Why Use This Project?
- Open-Source (Apache 2.0 License): Free to modify and distribute.
- Low Power: Optimized for ESP32's limited resources.
- Scalable: Extend with sensors (DHT22, relays, etc.).
