Powering devices

My home automation project is moving forward, at the moment I have each room with its own nodemcu or memos d1, which given the number of inputs each has it seems a little overkill. For example I am thinking the 3 I have upstairs could be replaced with just one unit in the loft with A hc-sr501 motion...

Detect LED

Looking to detect if an LED is illuminated or not, will server several purposes from the boiler to the alarm system, neither are smart as yet so want to just log are they on or not so I can start building patterns with relation to the house heat ready for when we upgrade to smart devices. I know a p...

Re: ESP Easy > Thingspeak

Finally got there, All Nodemcu's communicate via UDP the main (living room) Nodemcu. This nodemcu uses the UDP sensors to create a dummy sensor (quad dummy sensor) which is then sent to thingspeak as 1 update (every 60seconds) using a rule. Any other way I tried was hit and miss as it appears ESPEas...

Re: ESP Easy > Thingspeak

Would make sense I am guessing due to the 4 sends every minute the chance of it hitting the thingspeak limit was high. So would it be better to have all sensors on 1 one ESP? How does ESP Easy send the data to thingspeak if they are difference sensors is it sent as 1 stream with all values or differ...

Measure voltage

Looking for a simple, clean reliable way to measure voltage, I want to measure a 12v measure battery (14v max) this project will be running 24/7 so would prefer something solid and safe compared to a diy voltage divider. I did look at the INA219 but thats current and a voltage equivalent does not se...
