What did you build/automated today (with pictures)?

Yes I like to do an project like this can I see. Would like to know if you got a wright up on it too. I’m just learning so would need to follow something.

Hi Dakipro,
nice looking. What sensors are behind the water tape? I have a camera too an use the stream url from this, but my is not viewing on chrome and android on 8zoll tab. Which Element you use for the View, or is it just a Screen? Thx

Finished(?) working on a new revision of my breakout board today:

This has been on my todo list for a while, but this post/my response to @rlkoshak above motivated me to take care of some issues I’d been wanting to fix for a while, e.g.:

  1. Added Shottky diode between RST/D0 pins to fix some deepsleep/upload issues
  2. Replaced slow I2C level shifter with the faster 74AHCT125N, which is known to work well with addressable LEDs (stepping up 3.3v to 5V output)
  3. Rerouted some of the GPIO pins to avoid using “bad” (GPIO 0,2,15) boot pins, and to use the “proper” I2C pins (D1,D2).
  4. Added an I2C header (I’m going to modify the enclosure models to open this up to external output, as well) for some future sensor ideas I have (e.g. HVAC differential pressure using I2C ADC, weight/strain gauges with HX711, etc…)

Kind of hesitating on hitting “send” to the fab, wondering if I’m missing something else (it’s hard to work around the different requirements for GPIO pins on these NodeMCUs)…

Happy to get any feedback before I lock it down :smiley:

Ok So far I got
Weather (don)
Solar Panels info (don)
Google Home & Chromecast (don)
Broadlink MQTT Bridge (Don)
MK Sprinkler System (Don)
Lights (Don)

Left to do
Charts for Solar info and Cloudiness (in weather info)
Charts for Rainfall
Rules to look at Rainfall and to water or not to water with MK Sprinkler System.

BK @bartus think you can do and video on charts.

@adtwomey - Charts are pretty simple (at least the basic charts). just look at this example:

Items file:

Group Temp_Chart (All)
Number Temp_Chart_Period "Temp Chart Period"
Number Temperature_Basement "Bsmt Temp [%.1f F]" <temperature> (gBsmt,Temp_Chart)

Sitemap:

Switch item=Temp_Chart_Period label="Temp Chart Period" mappings=[0="Hour", 1="Day", 2="Week", 3="Off"] icon="line"
Chart item=Temp_Chart period=h refresh=6000 service="rrd4j" visibility=[Temp_Chart_Period==0, Temp_Chart_Period=="Uninitialized"]
Chart item=Temp_Chart period=D refresh=30000 service="rrd4j" visibility=[Temp_Chart_Period==1]
Chart item=Temp_Chart period=W refresh=30000 service="rrd4j" visibility=[Temp_Chart_Period==2]

That should get you started :slight_smile:

I could do a video on that, but I’d like to wait until I learn Grafana and can do one on the pretty charts you can do with it :smiley:

That’s the open I was talking about.

I may walk 1st

You may beat me to it :wink: - I have a lot of other things on my todo list before I get to Grafana :slight_smile:

I build a little bedside display unit that shows info from mqtt topic.That way I can change the info displayed any time. Build it with a wemos and nokia 5110 screen. Added a ldr to controle the backlight , a temp sensor and two switch inputs (I had the extra gpio ports :slight_smile: ) Currently I switch bedroom light but can be changed via node red.

Add InfluxDB+Grafana persistence to my openhab tonight. :grin: Working good with weather. Have made another one for solar. Also 2 esp 32 came today in the post.

No sensors per se, in essence the arduino is measuring resistance between two pins (imagine as if pins are extended by the ribbon tape (i think this is 2m long arduino camera ribbon tape, f.eks. New 50cm Ribbon FPC 15 Pin 1.0mm Pitch Flat Cable For Raspberry Pi Camera | eBay)) and every two minutes sends the state to the MySensors controller->mqtt->openhab (it actually sends the state only if resistance is low enough to save battery). You can read more about the code (that I borrowed) and other technical details on mysensors forum Water leakage sensor using thin ribbon cable (testing reliability) | MySensors Forum

I have a great anecdotal water leak story… Our laundry room is on the second floor. While we out of the house the clothes washer over filled with water and the door opened. This set off the water alarm and automatically closed the water main into the house. Great! BUT the water leaked through the floor in to the ceiling and which filled a smoked detector with water. This cause the security system to short out. The valve on the water main is a normally open valve, so when the security system died, the water main reopened and wow did that flood the house… Best laid plans :slight_smile:

Hello Jürgen, nice graph. What are your plans to use the smart features of Viessmann? Are you e.g. able to record the energy consumption?

I’m now finished with my SVG-Habpanel UI.
All Lights are clickable. The doors, fans, the garage door and the shutters are animated.

Next step is to build the garden and mount a tablet on a wall to show everybody^^

Oh also have 2 Google homes.
P.S will like to add some things like a scene -movies that will check if the projector on and check if the hifi is on and turn all the lights off but one with a light blue.

looks nice, if I may suggest adding one of most relevant data on the top level, you might like it even more.
F.eks.
Solar (2.625 MWh)
Weather (21.0C)
