Can One ESP32 Handle Multiple Sensors and Wireless Data Transmission?
Hii guys I'm exploring the possibility of using
ESP32 to develop a wireless sensor node for monitoring environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, and others . Can I use a single ESP32 board to connect to multiple sensors and transmit the data wirelessly to a central hub or cloud platform? If so, what are the key considerations for designing such a system?

That helps clarify the initial steps. I'll definitely define my requirements and consider the hardware and networking needs accordingly.
Thanks for the guidance!...

Yes, you can. Start by defining the type of data and amount and frequency of data transmissions, as well as what you intend to do with it. This should give you an idea of your hardware and networking requirements.
@Daniel kalu Yes, you can use the ESP32 board for your project, you just have to consider the following: 1. the connections; the ESP32 has limited pins to connect the sensors, so you need to make sure it can handle all the sensors you want to use.
then you should also consider power management and communication

I'll carefully plan the connections and sensor selection to ensure the ESP32 can handle the inputs, and maybe explore the use of multiplexers or 12C hubs if necessary to expand connectivity options.
