This project shows a super easy way to get started with your own DIY Multisensor to use with [Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io/), a sick, open-source Home Automation platform that can do just about anything.
The code covered in this repository utilizies Home Assistant's [MQTT JSON Light Component](https://home-assistant.io/components/light.mqtt_json/), [MQTT Sensor Component](https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.mqtt/), and a [NodeMCU ESP8266](http://geni.us/cpmi) development board.
Bonus, this project requires **no soldering** and **no breadboards** - just header wires and the development board!

### 3D Printed Enclosure
In an effort to make the sensor less ugly, I designed an enclosure in 123D Design and uploaded the [STL file](https://github.com/bruhautomation/ESP-MQTT-JSON-Multisensor/blob/master/BRUH%20Multisensor%20V1.stl) in case you want to print your own. It's also availible on [Thingiverse](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2239142). I printed mine on a [Prusa I3 clone](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLRdMtZVQfQ) with a layer height of 0.2 mm, 40% infill, and no supports in [ESUN PLA](http://geni.us/GS3U) and it turned out great.
Alternatively, you can also make your own enclosure by hand using something like [Instamorph](http://geni.us/BtidLG3). It's themoplastic that melts in hot water and then solidifies to hard plastic at room temperature. You can even get [pigment packs](http://geni.us/dNTi) and take it next level. I, personally, suck at using it, but it's cheap and functional.
Of course, you can use a project box, tupperware, a card board box, or skip the enclosure all together.

### Home Assistant Service Examples
Besides using the card in Home Assistant's user interface, you can also use the Services tool to control the light using the light.turn_on and light.turn_off services. This will let you play with the parameters you can call later in automations or scripts.
