As @bakman2 said... quite a few people on this forum use Wemos D1 Minis to create "systems".

Take a look at one of my student's current project... (as it might give you some ideas).

Solar-powered weather station

One of the students in my IoT Computer Club (here in the UK) is working on a personal project to design and build a solar-powered weather station (that will be located in one of the school's gardens) to monitor and report air temperature, humidity and pressure. Here are the Objectives and list of items. The student has split the project into six manageable stages. Using a solar panel to charge a Li-Ion battery and power a Wemos D1 Mini. Putting the Wemos D1 Mini into 'deepsleep' to conserve …
