It's very simple only a few components needed you can use either an ESP32 or ESP8266, I'm using an esp32 and we need a DHT11 or DHT22 Temperature & Humidity sensor. We are using DHT11, The ground pin of the DHT11 goes to the ESP32 Gnd and VCC goes to 3.3 volts of the ESP32 and finally the data pin goes to the ESP32 pin 18.

Uploading Firmware to ESP

connect the USB cable, click the three lines in the top right corner select the port and click on connect, then hit upload firmware then click the plus icon and select DHT 11, also it supports

DHT21 and DHT22 as well change the output pin to 18.

Connecting ESP to WI-FI

Once it uploads Wait for 15 sec and press and hold

the boot Button for 2 seconds for Smart Connect mode then open the KME Smart app,

click the plus icon click add devices then give the SSID and PASSWORD of the

WI-FI choose the first option in some seconds the device will be detected and you can change its name and save.
