# 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
- [x] Fix socket timeout error in ESP32MQTTClient when reading from config topic
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
