Hi,
I copied this code from a Youtube video to make a small weather station. The wifi range it's driving me crazy!! About 10 meters from the wifi spot!!!
I searched Google for an answer but there's a lot of different options/opinions...
I'm using a None MCU v3 + DHT11 + temt6000
Could someone PLEASE take a look at the code? I'm new to Arduino and I'm still learning.
I bought one GY-30 and one BME-280 to replace for these ones but I don't even know how to merge the code of both. As I said I'm still learning...
I would love to use the new borads but for now I just need to improve the wifi signal.
/*
Thanks much to @corbanmailloux for providing a great framework for implementing flash/fade with HomeAssistant https://github.com/corbanmailloux/esp-mqtt-rgb-led
To use this code you will need the following dependancies:
- Support for the ESP8266 boards.
- You can add it to the board manager by going to File -> Preference and pasting http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into the Additional Board Managers URL field.
- Next, download the ESP8266 dependancies by going to Tools -> Board -> Board Manager and searching for ESP8266 and installing it.
- You will also need to download the follow libraries by going to Sketch -> Include Libraries -> Manage Libraries
- DHT sensor library
- Adafruit unified sensor
- PubSubClient
- ArduinoJSON
UPDATE 16 MAY 2017 by Knutella - Fixed MQTT disconnects when wifi drops by moving around Reconnect and adding a software reset of MCU
UPDATE 23 MAY 2017 - The MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE parameter may not be setting appropriately due to a bug in the PubSub library. If the MQTT messages are not being transmitted as expected you may need to change the MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE parameter in "PubSubClient.h" directly.
UPDATE 27 NOV 2017 - Changed HeatIndex to built in function of DHT library. Added definition for fahrenheit or celsius

/**************************** START TRANSITION FADER *****************************************/
// From https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ColorCrossfader
/* BELOW THIS LINE IS THE MATH -- YOU SHOULDN'T NEED TO CHANGE THIS FOR THE BASICS
The program works like this:
Imagine a crossfade that moves the red LED from 0-10,
the green from 0-5, and the blue from 10 to 7, in
ten steps.
We'd want to count the 10 steps and increase or
decrease color values in evenly stepped increments.
Imagine a + indicates raising a value by 1, and a -
equals lowering it. Our 10 step fade would look like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
R + + + + + + + + + +
G + + + + +
B - - -
The red rises from 0 to 10 in ten steps, the green from
0-5 in 5 steps, and the blue falls from 10 to 7 in three steps.
In the real program, the color percentages are converted to
0-255 values, and there are 1020 steps (255*4).
To figure out how big a step there should be between one up- or
down-tick of one of the LED values, we call calculateStep(),
which calculates the absolute gap between the start and end values,
and then divides that gap by 1020 to determine the size of the step
between adjustments in the value.
*/
int calculateStep(int prevValue, int endValue) {
int step = endValue - prevValue; // What's the overall gap?
if (step) { // If its non-zero,
step = 1020 / step; // divide by 1020
}
return step;
}
/* The next function is calculateVal. When the loop value, i,
reaches the step size appropriate for one of the
colors, it increases or decreases the value of that color by 1.
(R, G, and B are each calculated separately.)
*/
int calculateVal(int step, int val, int i) {
if ((step) && i % step == 0) { // If step is non-zero and its time to change a value,
if (step > 0) { // increment the value if step is positive...
val += 1;
}

val -= 1;
