First test with WiFi controlled PWM fans.

- 12V power adapter
- XL4015 step down buck converter (set to 3,3V output for the ESP)
- #ESP8266 (NodeMCU v3 with #esphome; tried an #ESP32 as well, which provides a better PWM signal; I didn't notice a difference.)
- Arctic P12 Max fan

Works so far, but I'm unsure about the tachometer. I first tried a 10k pull up resistor on 3.3V, but readings were completely off. Since switching to 12V, readings are correct.

I'm open to feedback/recommendations/questions.

A table with a breadboard, buck down converter and esp8266 development board on the left, a fan at the top of the frame and a tablet with home assistant at the bottom.

A finger touches the on off switch of a fan entity on the tablet. The fan spins up. The finger touches the fan entity and a slider appears. The finger slides it to 69% and closes the overlay. The RPM counter on the right increases to around 2500 pulses per minute. The finger opens the fan entity again and slides it to 100%. RPM rises to 3000.

These little projects are some of my favorites. Especially when my wife finds me useful. I was learning some new deauth tools and forgot that I was deauthing devices on my homenetwork, so Home Assistant didn't trigger my heater in the greenhouse because the thermometer and power relay didn't communicate properly. Needless to say my wife was not happy that all her plants ended up spending two nights at around 35F. So I built this to alert us if the temp drops too low. It will email and text us every hour and it will beep and flash the LED every 2 minutes. Just in case it loses WiFi access... It'll also have battery backup.

My first try to use timers and switch off at over 5 degrees using a rule did work, but the switch off command was repeated every second or so. The temperature sensor reading as trigger was executed so often I suppose.

I assume this would provide problems, e.g. a significant CPU load.

Is there a more elegant way?

given: #esp8266 13.2.0(tasmota-4M) DS18B20, 2 relais.

I need some witty config/rule/timer to operate a heater between sunrise and sunset only if the temperature is below 5 degrees.

What also would be acceptable to switch it on every sunrise and to switch it off e.g. a minute later (e.g. use "sunrise+1" as rule trigger which doesn't seem to work)

Been playing around with #homeassistant, #esp8266 and #Shelly devices at home. I now have a much better understanding on how the ventilation and heating works in varying weather and where the energy goes. By adding temperature sensors to the ventilator (that has heat recuperation), it was possible to tune it to be more efficient and also have less underpressure inside, it was way too much underpressure before.

Final #hydrotower #garden update (and new project news at the bottom!) There is a lot here.

I got the last
#cucumber earlier this week (half-pollinated), but it went bad before we ate it. So our tally is 4 cucumbers, 1 of which was "normal" and 2 of which we ate.

I spent yesterday pulling down and scrubbing the tower for storage. The biggest lesson:
Do NOT Let ANY Light Into The Tower. Full stop.

Just that. It is more important than "check pH". It is more important than "change depleted fluid". The importance of blocking ALL LIGHT from the inside cannot be overstated.

A couple of months back I was getting water leaks from the covers on the empty cells, so I replaced them with clay pebbles in empty net pots. That stopped the leak, but it started letting light into the core. Not very much, but it was enough to start the crash. Around the same time, the foil cover fell off an (unused) fill port on the back, facing the sun. That let a bit of light into the tank as well.

When I took it apart, all of the middle sections had algae absolutely coating the insides except the red ones. (Maybe the red is toxic, maybe it just lowered the light below the threshold.) The end-days pH crash looks to be related to that cylinder of algae as well.

On the good side, I think I can reuse most of the printed parts if I elect to run a second tower. Oven dry them (125F for half a day) and then soak in food-safe varnish to seal them. Conveniently, we have almost enough "stuff" needing varnish to just set up a dip tank in the garage. Done correctly, the dripping varnish shape should even stop the flips and leaks.

Overall, I still don't know how I prefer to control the lights. Most of them are self-controlled, which means they only go 12h and I have to watch power draw to detect on/off. (I also have to 'set' the clock by manually turning it on at the right time.) That works great so long as the power is stable but is a mess to maintain because of the lack of a wall clock.
The lights that are directly controlled by
#homeassistant work better, except when #truenas reboots and takes it down. Or when it was randomly turning on the tent's grow lights overnight. (This is a Bad Thing for the tent in flower mode.) I can't do much about the integrated-controller lights, but I think I will code up a basic #esp32 / #esp8266 relay controller to let HA send schedules instead of just on/off. That should give local control with wall-clock scheduling while still leaving HA in charge.

Next up! I am going to take those repotted basil (and a secret hydroponics project) and rearrange the kitchen a bit to put them in a better spot. The grow lights from the tower will become under-cabinet lights for the kitchen herbs, and the "junk spot" will be cleaned and reworked to hold cutting boards and flour and all the other stuff that gets evicted. That should make the whole flow easier; from the usual stations, we will have to cross the walkway to get cutting boards but they will be much closer overall. And it puts two lost stations back into use, which should make it feel larger.

Maybe some pics when it is done.

While looking for a couple of #LoRa boards I know I have somewhere.... I came across this #ESP8266 #WemoD1 board, it has an #ArduinoUno form factor, so I thought...hey I should try a couple of shields.. Which I did finally get one to work, but had to modify the board. Makes me wonder why #Wemo didn't just connect the SCL & SDA pins internally, they went to the trouble of making a board that could take #Shields so why not make it as compatible as possiable. Easy Fix, but not the best soldiering

ESP8266 Wemos D1 board with Arduino Uno form factor, Only one analog pin (which makes since, the ESP8266 only supports one) But Pin D15 and D14 are used for I2C which few if any shields actually used for I2C (most used A4 and A5) - Leaving the question to be why they didn't just connect the set internally on the board.
Wemos D1 ESP8266 back side of the board, where I soldiered to wires to connect D14 and D15 to where A4 and A5 should be.  The confusing this is, the board even says it's Arduino Compatile....which really is only partially true.  I've soldier better before, but working with small wire, and soldier that was hard to get heated up is, it's not as pretty as I would have liked, but it does work.  Now I2C is in the spot most Arduino Uno shields expect.

@b4ux1t3 that sounds great. What sensors are you planning to use?

I made some battery powered temperature sensors using a DS18B20 on an #esp8266 D1 Mini board to collect data from various places (chicken coop and outside temperature in the garden, the goldfish "pond", the kitchen...). And with the same thought: own server, no cloud.

Then I printed a simple pedestal that allowed me to add a few WS2812b LEDs and an #esp8266

Excuse the extra long wires I added some slack to play with different layout ideas.

#WLED as the control layer makes driving the LEDs and integrating with #HomeAssistant way too easy.

It was harder to get the fit right with the pedestal and the lampshade. That took me three goes.

The physical health tracker project was at a point where I had all the technical problems solved and just had to figure out the aesthetic stuff, but my back has been so bad this week that I needed to get some version of it working ASAP. I ended up laser cutting a silhouette of a Borofsky work as a reference to the movie Sneakers, and making it transition from blue to red as I go longer without doing my exercises.

Many years ago, I put together this little #Nokia5110 Screen with a #Wemos #D1Mini #ESP8266 - I don't remember what the original project was going to be. I never got the display to work right - actually it worked. But was hard to see.
I found this in a box of stuff yesterday, and thought, I'd try again. - After looking at the library I found a #Bias setting - a little playing around, and well it's still not perfect, but I can read it.
The issue with this screen is viewing angle.

And I have lots of 8266s, Now It's all #ESP32 when I think of projects, it's grab a ESP32 & build a project. I'm pretty much all in with them now. Now mostly I buy the C3 and S3 controllers

Feeling even better about my decision to stick with MiLight/Miboxer bulbs and LED strips (+an ESP8266 running Milight Hub). I have yet to be disappointed by them, and it's all local RF, no cloud anything, plus real remotes with RGBW controls, not just apps.

Sometimes, I feel a little overwhelmed with all the possibilities of #IoT and #HomeAssistant. That is by no means a complaint; I just have trouble prioritizing my projects. Today, I finished my #TDS sensor with an #ESP8266, and it was a lot of fun but also made me want to improve my coding skills faster. Then, I experimented with the #deepsleep feature for my capacitive moisture sensor because I don't need the value every few seconds and plan to use a power bank or something. I love it.

Any way to use the #BME280 sensor outdoors?
Of course enclosed in a box protected from the rain.

I already "burned" 2 sensors, since they stop working with high humidity, probably due to condensation.

Does wrapping them with Teflon (PTFE) tape help?

Whilst failing to find a micro SD car reader I did find a little bag of what I thought were #bme280 sensors that read temperature, humidity, and pressure.
Apparently I'd failed to get these working before as a couple has wires soldered on.

So I solder it together with an #esp8266 and install #espHome and it fails to recognise the sensor saying it has the wrong ID. Turns out they are #bmp280 which do temperature and pressure only.

Less useful but now I have another temperature sensor!

I haven’t had a look at #Arduino for a long time, thinking that everything is about #RaspberryPi and #ESP8266 nowadays, but wow 😯 they do have some interesting new toys for tinkering!

Today I successfully compiled and flashed the Zimodem firmware onto my ESP8266 WiFi board for the #RC2014. I did have some trouble getting various clock/baud rates to work without garbling or dropping characters, so had to fall down to 4800 to get stable TX/RX (will troubleshoot this more later). I was then able to use QTerm to connect to the BBS that @Wintermute_BBS runs on an RC2014 (rc2014.ddns.net:2014). At 4800 it was slooow, but very cool! 🔥😎

Part 3/3 of my mental health tracker project: It's done! (for now)

I lasercut and spray painted a stand, and did some touchups with acrylic paint where necessary. I'm out of micro USB cables to cannibalise into power cords but luckily I had a Raspberry Pi power supply which more than supplies enough amperage.

Now I just need to wait for it to gather more data and get a better idea of the baseline.

Part 2 of my mental health tracker project: software.

Since the data I want to read and interpret is coming from my home automation (read: Node-RED), that's where most of the logic for the tracker is.

At the moment it logs sleep length, alarm -> wakeup time, time taken to get in the shower in the mornings, and time taken to get out of the shower in the mornings, all of which I have noticed tend to correlate to how well I'm doing. I also want to include my bedtime and the time I first manage to leave the house.

By comparing the last week's average of each of these to long term data, it's my hope that I'll be able to display an accurate picture of my mental health as it fluctuates.

I'm building a mental health tracker based on The Invisible Man (2000). In the show, the lead character has a tattoo of an ouroboros that turns from green to red as he uses more invisibility and gets closer to madness. My version is #lasercut rather than tattooed, and is going to work off data gathered by the home automation.

@gehrke_test hier ein ähnliches Problem, das ich durch die Verwendung von deep sleep lösen konnte. Meine Herausforderung war "alle 15 Minuten die Temperatur per https-aufruf und angehängtem GET Parameter an einen Webserver melden."
Wachzeit ca. 10 - 15 Sekunden (ca. 70mA), schlafzeit 15 Minuten (ca. 5mA).
Stromversorgung über 4xAA. Läuft schon über 2 Wochen ohne Unterbrechung.

Wie häufig soll dein #esp8266 aufwachen?

Ich habe leider zwei Probleme mit der anfänglich gut gestarteten Lösung - eines erwartet, das andere nicht.

Problem 1: Obwohl im Funktionsumfang vorgesehen, ist es noch nicht gelungen, die Daten tatsächlich in die #InfluxDB zu exportieren. Das ist insofern erwartet, als es offensichtlich an meinem Unvermögen und mangelnder Erfahrung liegt. Kriegt man mit Geduld und Spucke sicher noch hin, so viel Zeit habe ich da auch noch nicht investiert.

Problem 2: Der #Stromverbrauch ist viel zu hoch. Der #ESP8266 mit #DHT22 saugt eine #Powerbank mit einer Kapazität von 4.000 mAH innerhalb von 24h leer!
Das hatte ich so nicht erwartet und wenn das nicht in den Griff zu bekommen ist, dann ist die Lösung ungeeignet, weil an vielen Stellen keine sichtbaren Kabel akzeptiert werden (WAF).

So einen hohen Stromverbrauch hatte ich bei dem ESP8266 nicht erwartet.
