Since the ESP8266 modules don’t run squeak (shame!) I’m using Arduino-c++ (blech) on them, and since the weather sensor code already existed in python (double-blech) I’m using that on the weather-pi board. I’ve been recommended to look at MQTT as a way to bind them all together and from what little sense I can make of the assorted stuff that googling had lead me to (good grief, so much acronym laden gibberish) it looks like it might do the job.

Sven did a RabbitMQ client for Pharo, and maybe such non-gui stuff is
close enough to Squeak to adapt...

RabbitMQ has a MQTT adaptor...

but this article notes some detractions depending on your use case...
