Is d1 mini PRO mandatory for the color station?

Question

I see in the github page a standard D1 mini used, but the kit is sold with a mini PRO. Is the PRO version mandatory or can I build one with a standard D1 or a nodeMCU?

Answer 1

Although we haven't tested all any >1MB module with enough GPIO pins to support the wiring documented at https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp8266-weather-station-color#wiring should work. So, yes, D1 mini or NodeMCU v2 should be fine.

Nice. I can confirm it works properly with a nodeMCU 1.0 (a Lolin v3). I'll use a D1mini or a nodeMCU 0.9 for the final installment because of reduced size. Luckily I already owned a wunderground API key.
Thanks for the great project.
