PowerplantModule - PJON Temperature Sensor Network

A robust temperature sensor network using the PJON protocol for reliable ESP8266 communication. This project provides master-slave temperature monitoring with enhanced stability compared to OneWire implementations.

🎯 Projects Overview

OneWireHost (Master)

• Role: Temperature data collector and network coordinator
• Protocol: PJON with SoftwareBitBang strategy
• Features: Slave polling, heartbeat management, data aggregation
• WebSerial: http://PjonMaster.local/webserial

OneWireSlave (Slave)

• Role: Temperature sensor node
• Protocol: PJON responsive slave
• Features: Temperature simulation, heartbeat response, status reporting
• WebSerial: http://PjonSlave.local/webserial

🚀 Key Features

• PJON Protocol: More robust than OneWire with automatic retries
• Multi-Device Support: Master can handle multiple slaves
• Real-time Monitoring: WebSerial interface for remote debugging
• OTA Updates: Wireless firmware updates for both master and slaves
• Temperature Simulation: Slaves provide simulated temperature data
• Heartbeat System: Master monitors slave health

📋 Quick Setup

1. Hardware: Connect all devices to shared PJON bus (GPIO2/D1)
2. Master: Flash OneWireHost to one ESP8266
3. Slaves: Flash OneWireSlave to other ESP8266s with unique IDs
4. Monitor: Access via WebSerial or USB serial
