Hello to you all!

I've been interested in electronics since the age of 12 and it has always been fun to build your own stuff. I have been programming on the early Z80 CPU and after quite a long break, restarted working on MCU programming since i became involved with the Dutch Nodo project around 2011.

The Nodo project is sort of retired by now, but is has found some serious successors in both the RFLink and ESPEasy projects.

This is my current central unit:

(The box used to house other components like a dual Nodo Mega at a certain time as well. That's why there are some leftover cut-outs in the back plane...)

The left board is an Arduino Mega 2560 with an RFLink module added and an NRF24L01 module. It controls and receives 433MHz devices (Kaku, Oregon temperature sensors) and more recently also Milight bulbs. It's connected to RPI using USB and the serial output is also connected to the ESP module.

The middle board is an old RaspberryPi with plain Raspbian installed, Domoticz and Mosquitto MQTT broker. I mainly use Domoticz for history graphs. Mosquitto is currently only used for testing purposes.

At the right, a NodeMCU V2 board that runs ESP Easy Mega Dev12. It receives serial output from RFLink and it controls the LCD display.

Although i have Domoticz running, most of the ESP/RFLink nodes control things by themselves using the ESP rule engine. This mimics the old Nodo slave behavior that i have become used to. Great advantage is that all basic things keep running if Domoticz is not available (crash or maintenance...)

I would like to share some of my personal projects, just to show some things that can be done with one or more of the Letscontrolit projects.
