[Youtube] WinnerMicro W600/Air602 DIY Weather Station with OpenBeken and DHT11 guide step by step

Here's a step by step guide showing how to use OpenBeken to create a simple Weather station with DHT11 sensor. The guide covers OBK programming (for W600 platform), initial setup (pairing with WiFi), then shows a short example showing how to use a LED and Button with OBK, and finally, covers DHT11 support to get humidity and temperature reading, which can be later published via MQTT to Home Assistant or any other MQTT broker.
Some miscellaneous steps, like Air602 pinout or a method to get 3.3V from Air602 board are also included in the video.

The Home Assistant Discovery (pairing) is not covered in the video. We have separate tutorial about that:

Thank you for watching. Keep in mind that the same approach (with only difference being the firmware burning via UART step) can be done also on other supported platforms, like BK7231, BL602, W800, etc. Have fun!


Update 2026
As of 2026, this platform read/write is also supported by our flash tool:
https://github.com/openshwprojects/BK7231GUIFlashTool
The connection (soldering, wires), is the same, but you can use our tool instead of the legacy one.
Please check it out and use it instead of legacy tools, let us know how it works for you!
