IoT Lab - Connect ESP32 with Homebridge

If you haven't setup the ESP32 microcontroller and Homebridge before, you should setup that first!

Schematic – ESP32 with Humidity and Temperature Sensor and LED Lights

If you haven't setup the ESP32 microcontroller and Homebridge you should setup that first!
