Adding a temperature sensor reading onto a web page, two methods.

Don't start with this video!

PART 1 shows how to create a landing page on the ESP32 along with OTA (Over The Air, wireless) updates and can be found here    • #258 ESP32 Web Pages AND OTA updates ...   with the code you need too! 😉

And whilst we're on the subject, Part 3 will be available soon which brings it all together and shows the full (and final, improved) ESP32 webpage. But that's for another time. Keep tuned (and subscribed).

All the code and more in my GitHub: https://bit.ly/GitHub_for_Part2

Still here? OK, let's get some values on screen, whether that be an integer value or a string, both of which I use in my projects. There are, of course, many routes to Rome and I show two of them here. Quick and dirty? Or slick and maintainable? Your choice!

We'll get a value onto the screen (from a pseudo-variable in our ESP32 code) and discuss two ways on how to do that. Finally we'll consider whether what we're doing, that is putting the HTML code into our C++ code is the best way of doing this - or is there another way we could explore (in part 3 perhaps)? Oops, spoiler alert! Too late!
