WeiterlesenYou can measure voltages using the ADC on the ESP8266. This is useful, for example, to measure a battery voltage and thus the state of charge of the battery or […]
WeiterlesenI don't know if dashboards are THE means to make a nerd's heart beat faster, but they are certainly one way to make a nerd's heart beat faster. For those […]
WeiterlesenAfter soldering THT components, soldering SMD components is the supreme discipline among the soldering challenges. The difficulty increases with the decreasing size of the components. SMD stands for "Surface Mounted [...]
WeiterlesenSome may recognized in the Retro-speaker project, that it is a small hobby of me to give old things a new benefit. If you can also improve the old technology […]
WeiterlesenAt some point last year I stumbled on Ebay on the very cheap TDA7492/CSR8635 Bluetooth amplifier boards. These include a Bluetooth audio receiver and a stereo amplifier with which speakers […]
WeiterlesenA MagicMirror consists next to the obvious mirror&screen of an important part of software. There are some good software packages for this purpose. But the best in my opinion is […]
WeiterlesenYou can curse or deify about Apple devices, but what Apple has solved very well is the integration of SmartHome components in their operating systems. So iOs brings directly brings […]
WeiterlesenFor a long time, I was looking for a way to easily display the data that I collect with NodeRed from my SmartHome on the MagicMirror. Thanks to the many […]
WeiterlesenAfter a few days of using the Bluetooth retro speaker, I soon realized that the integrated antenna had a somewhat modest wireless range. Mostly was after about 2m as the […]
WeiterlesenI have to admit that I have not yet found the perfect solution to clearly list all SmartHome-relevant articles. In order to bring at least a little overview into the […]
WeiterlesenAfter I recently found a way to forward notifications from my phone to my SmartHome, I have now considered a few ways to use this "useful" as possible. At first, […]
WeiterlesenIn the article NodeRed/Tasmota – Building a Facebook Icon Lamp, I described why, in my opinion, a Facebook lamp is a useful thing if you want to be sure about […]
WeiterlesenIn the article “NodeRed/Tasmota – Building a Facebook Icon Lamp” and “NodeRed/Tasmota – Building an Instagram Icon Lamp” I described why these lamps can be quite useful if your up […]
