Post mailbox to email notifier.

[Gilles]

hahaha,
so nobody has made the "mailbox to email notifier" work (at least with a bare esp) ...

I will try to make it work and if so, I will post the info. I don't have the hardware parts yet. Still waiting.
Thanks jjansen for the booting info.

Maybe or not.

Anyways, on another note you obviously never looked up the wiki, for example
the user pages with alot of samples including schematics and such....

I will definitely go through it.
I already have flashed a few numbers of SONOFF (standard or S20) with EspEasy , that has lead me to learn more on the esp(easy) . When looking at the ESPeasy notifications section, I found the "Creating a paper-mail to email Gateway" tuto (at : https://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/inde ... ifications).
My requests come from there.
And I try to understand what I would have to do, because, depending on the Tutos, some say that you need some résistors, some other not, so as I don't have a big skill in electronics, it is not easy to make up my mind.
I am 60 and I don't even know someone having these skills around me to help.

I would like to submit you the results of my searchs.
Could you have a look at the attached Word diagram and comment it?
It is the sum of what I have collected after reading a lot of things. Please tell me if I am right or if something is missing or is incorrect.
I understand that I will need something different to flash the esp07 with Espeasy (Vcc, Tx, Rx, Gnd)
Thanks

Hello,
Any comment or error in my diagram ?

Do you think/confirm that the cabling is the right one? I am not a specialist so any advice is good to me.

I have ordered 3 more ESP07. They may be helpful if I am wrong.

Hi Shardan & Psy0rz,

I have just read a recent post titled : "Need help flashing ESP-07" in the hardware section.

It says that I cannot use the ESPEASY software with the ESP07 because it has only 512K memory, and that I should buy the ESP07-S instead. Is that true?

I have followed the guidances from the Psy0rz project plus your comments. There is a note which says "Note: Use v2.0.0-dev11 or higher. There was a bug in dev10 and older versions that lead to crashes. "
As per your recommendation, I have bought a lot of ESP07 instead of ESP12 to use an external wifi antenna.

Based on your pix,( https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB17kh3NpXX ... tional.jpg ) I have bought the old ESP07 (no choice on the web site).

So, what to do now ? Can you confirm?

Thanks
Gilles

The old ESP-07 has 512KB Flash - the ESPEasy 2.0.0 binary is bigger then that and does not fit into memory.

If you need an external antenna use the ESP-07S (4MB).

For an example of the circuit you might take a look in the wiki's User section.
I've published some of my circuits, they are tested and work.
For example: https://letscontrolit.com/wiki/index.ph ... /IR-Remote

Thanks for the info.

My bad. I have missed the extra "S" in your recommandation of using a ESP-07 instead of a ESP-12.
I also will have a look at your project to check the wiring.
I have just ordered 5 ESP07-S to a chinese site.

btw, would you know an european site where to order parts and avoid waiting at least 1 month to get the parts delivered (to France)?

Thanks
Gilles
