+# ESP Sensors Project Improvement Tasks
+
+This document contains a comprehensive list of improvement tasks for the ESP Sensors project. Each task is marked with a checkbox [ ] that can be checked off when completed.
+
+## Architecture Improvements
+
+1. [ ] Refactor the sensor class hierarchy
+   - [ ] Standardize method implementations across sensor types (e.g., ensure all sensors override `read()`)
+   - [ ] Consider using composition instead of multiple inheritance in DHT22Sensor
+   - [ ] Create a clear interface for all sensor types to implement
+
+2. [ ] Modularize the configuration system
+   - [ ] Split config.py into smaller modules (e.g., config_core.py, config_sensors.py, config_mqtt.py)
+   - [ ] Create a generic configuration retrieval function to reduce code duplication
+   - [ ] Implement a configuration validation system
+
+3. [ ] Improve MQTT implementation
+   - [ ] Complete the MQTT configuration update feature
+   - [ ] Consider using an existing MQTT library instead of custom implementation
+   - [ ] Add support for MQTT QoS levels and retained messages
+   - [ ] Implement proper MQTT message handling with callbacks
+
+4. [ ] Enhance error handling and logging
+   - [ ] Implement a centralized logging system
+   - [ ] Add more detailed error messages and error codes
+   - [ ] Create a mechanism to store error logs for later retrieval
+
+5. [ ] Implement a proper plugin system
+   - [ ] Allow dynamic loading of sensor types
+   - [ ] Create a standardized way to register new sensor types
+   - [ ] Support third-party sensor implementations
+
+## Code-Level Improvements
+
+6. [ ] Fix inconsistencies in sensor implementations
+   - [ ] Ensure HumiditySensor overrides the `read()` method
+   - [ ] Standardize method naming conventions across sensor types
+   - [ ] Ensure consistent error handling in all sensor read methods
+
+7. [ ] Improve type hints and documentation
+   - [ ] Add complete type hints to all functions and methods
+   - [ ] Ensure all classes and methods have proper docstrings
+   - [ ] Add usage examples to docstrings
+
+8. [ ] Enhance test coverage
+   - [ ] Add unit tests for all sensor types
+   - [ ] Create integration tests for MQTT functionality
+   - [ ] Implement simulation-based tests for hardware components
+
+9. [ ] Optimize memory usage
+   - [ ] Review and optimize memory-intensive operations
+   - [ ] Implement memory profiling in simulation mode
+   - [ ] Add memory usage statistics to logs
+
+10. [ ] Implement button-triggered display functionality
+    - [ ] Complete the TODO in main.py for button-triggered display
+    - [ ] Add debouncing for button presses
+    - [ ] Support different display modes triggered by button presses
+
+## Feature Enhancements
+
+11. [ ] Add support for more sensor types
+    - [ ] Implement support for analog sensors
+    - [ ] Add support for I2C and SPI sensors
+    - [ ] Create a generic sensor interface for easy extension
+
+12. [ ] Enhance MQTT capabilities
+    - [ ] Add support for MQTT discovery (e.g., for Home Assistant integration)
+    - [ ] Implement MQTT-based device control
+    - [ ] Add support for MQTT over WebSockets
+
+13. [ ] Improve power management
+    - [ ] Optimize deep sleep configuration
+    - [ ] Add battery level monitoring and reporting
+    - [ ] Implement adaptive sleep intervals based on battery level
+
+14. [ ] Enhance display functionality
+    - [ ] Add support for different display types (e.g., LCD, e-paper)
+    - [ ] Implement customizable display layouts
+    - [ ] Add graphical elements (charts, icons) to display
+
+15. [ ] Implement over-the-air (OTA) updates
+    - [ ] Add support for firmware updates via MQTT
+    - [ ] Implement a secure update mechanism
+    - [ ] Add version checking and rollback capability
+
+## Documentation and Usability
+
+16. [ ] Improve project documentation
+    - [ ] Create a comprehensive API reference
+    - [ ] Add more usage examples and tutorials
+    - [ ] Document all configuration options
+
+17. [ ] Enhance developer experience
+    - [ ] Create a development environment setup guide
+    - [ ] Add more detailed comments in complex code sections
+    - [ ] Implement a consistent code style across the project
+
+18. [ ] Improve deployment process
+    - [ ] Streamline the firmware flashing process
+    - [ ] Create a web-based configuration interface
+    - [ ] Add support for configuration profiles
+
+19. [ ] Add monitoring and diagnostics
+    - [ ] Implement a health check system
+    - [ ] Add performance metrics collection
+    - [ ] Create a diagnostic mode for troubleshooting
+
+20. [ ] Enhance security
+    - [ ] Implement secure storage for sensitive configuration (e.g., WiFi passwords)
+    - [ ] Add support for encrypted MQTT communication
+    - [ ] Implement access control for device configuration
