Hello from Virginia - Carl

#1 Post by cbad536 » 11 Apr 2020, 23:11

Hi Team:

Great to see such an active forum! I'm happy to help other where my knowledge allows.
I'm a hobbiest and a maker. Not a career engineer or coder, although I am BS in engineering, ham operator, son-of-electrical engineer!!

Projects (complete, running):
- Home data gathering:
- Pi3 configured with solid-state drive, node-red, influxdb, grafana (credit Andreas Spiess tutorials)
- RFLink on Mega 2560 Pro Mini and RXB6 433 MHz receiver into the Pi3
- ESP Now bridge running on WEMOS D1 Mini Pro ESP8266 into the Pi3
- Node-Red processes packets from the bridge, sends to Influxdb, viewed on grafana
- Sensors are many Acurite temp/humidity sensors around the house. These are supported by RFLink
- A group of Dallas temp sensors couple to an ESP32, and packets sent via ESP Now.

- Tide sensor on the dock:
- Measures tide height and sends to central Pi3 via ESPNow. ESP8266-based
- TPL5110 power gate, HC-SR04 ultrasonic ranger, solar cell charges Li-Ion battery, whole thing in a waterproof box

- Aquaponics gardening (numerous Dallas temp sensors for water, heating element, growbed)

Projects in process, need help:
- Home security: SimpliSafe, Arlo cameras, just bought Hubitat.
- "Bistee-US" (on Amazon) door chime for in-house alert, these are recognized by RFLink, pleasant surprise!
- Acurite Atlas weather station, wanting RFLink to support it.

Happy Making!
- Carl
