Howdy all,

Let's make a super easy-to-use webserver!!

The main goal was to strip away much of the technical code and expose sensors in a Pythonic fashion - like a dictionary!
Thats right, all of the code you see in the two examples is what we need

If we wanted to see the state of a potentiometer and button the code would look like the following:

import homestation
from machine import Pin,ADC

ssid = 'your wifi name'
password = 'your wifi password'

adc = ADC(Pin(26))
button = Pin(14, Pin.IN, Pin.PULL_DOWN)

def getPot():
    return (adc.read_u16()*3.3/(65536))

def getButton():
    return button.value()

sensorData = {
    "Button": getPot,
    "Potentiometer :": getButton,
}

homestation.homestation_Run(ssid,password,sensorData)

And say if we wanted the temperature, pressure, humidity and light values?

*Here's a cool bit!*

import homestation

from PiicoDev_Unified import sleep_ms

from PiicoDev_BME280 import PiicoDev_BME280
from PiicoDev_VEML6030 import PiicoDev_VEML6030

# Create PiicoDev sensor objects
atmo = PiicoDev_BME280()
lght = PiicoDev_VEML6030()

import secrets 
# Configure your WiFi SSID and password
ssid = secrets.ssid_s
password = secrets.password_s

def atmoList():
    tempC, presPa, humRH = atmo.values()
    return tempC, presPa/100, humRH #[degC,hPa,RH]

sensorData = {
    ".Atmo": atmoList,
    "Temperature :": ['Atmo',0],
    "Pressure: ": ['Atmo',1],
    "Humidity: ": ['Atmo',2],
    "Light: ": lght.read,
}

homestation.homestation_Run(ssid,password,sensorData)

If a single function returns a few values we can ‘pack’ them inside the dictionary, just add a dot to the front of the name of the actual sensor, instead of the function name use a list with the name of the sensor and which position it is passed from
