As with all of my videos, this isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I do it.

One of the oldest and most expensive (Philips AmbientLED 2011 vintage) LED lights in my house stopped working. Time to explore, and maybe try to fix it.

The work continues to get my long dormant layout back into proper operation.
This time the excitement of cleaning the track and locomotives.

An unexpected find in my local dollar store.
It has lots of LEDs in it, so obviously I had to buy it and see how it works.

My wife got me a beer fridge for Christmas this year, and as part of my "calibrating" the thermostat to the perfect temperature, I decided to build a temperature monitor for the fridge.
Of course there are other ways to do this, but I had the parts available, so why not?
Here's the DHT12 library I used:

And here's a link to the ugly code I slapped together out of bits and pieces from some example code (don't laugh - I never claimed to have any skill at coding):
