At nerdiy.de, everything revolves around electronics, DIY, 3D printing, smart home and many other technical topics.
In the article on the Sonoff SNZB-03 motion detector and Ikea TRADFRI motion detector, I mentioned before that a smart home can also be expanded into a (limited) alarm system. You can […]
WeiterlesenIn the article about the Sonoff SNZB-03 motion detector, I already described how you can use a motion detector to further automate your own SmartHome. Not only lights […]
WeiterlesenIn a large part of my smart home I use the Ikea TRADFRI E1743 buttons. These can be used to conveniently switch up to four devices on and off. Recently I […]
WeiterlesenThe IKEA TRADFRI shortcut button E1812 is the little brother of the Ikea TRADFRI E1743 button. Both are identical in size. The only differences with the shortcut button are that this […]
WeiterlesenI stumbled across the TuYa TS0201 temperature and humidity sensor while looking for a simple humidity sensor. Actually, I was looking for a simple humidity sensor with a display […]
WeiterlesenSo far I have used the Pushbullet Node for notifications from my SmartHome. Unfortunately, the Pushbullet app - i.e. the counterpart on your smartphone with which you receive the messages [...]
WeiterlesenFor a while I've owned one of those car covers that you put over the car to prevent ice from forming on the windows in cold temperatures. This cover […]
WeiterlesenI think a smart home is always really practical when it relieves work or makes life more pleasant. Admittedly, the possibilities are not huge in this regard. But who ever […]
WeiterlesenThe IKEA TRADFRI button E1743 is one of the most used buttons in my SmartHome. It is very cheap at (currently) 6 euros per piece and at the same time the quality is very good […]
WeiterlesenIn order for you to be able to use Zigbee devices for your SmartHome, they must of course first be connected to your Zigbee network. This can be implemented in different ways. The easiest way new devices […]
WeiterlesenTo be able to use Zigbee sensors or actuators to control your SmartHome with zigbee2mqtt you need a Zigbee adapter. This is the interface between Zigbee device and SmartHome system (e.g. NodeRed) and [...]
WeiterlesenI've been using zigbee2mqtt for quite a while to integrate Zigbee sensors and actuators into my SmartHome. For a few years I have had one on the CC2530 or CC2531 IC […]
WeiterlesenZigbee2mqtt could initially only be configured and controlled via the configuration file or access to the MQTT server. Meanwhile, however, there is a very useful extension for zigbee2mqtt that makes it possible [...]
WeiterlesenRecently I started to convert parts of my SmartHome to the Zigbee standard. In the past, I still used sensors and actuators based on the simple 433Mhz radio. [...]
WeiterlesenThanks to NTP server ESPEasy is able to retrieve the time via WiFi connection. This possibility can be set up very easily and is described for example here: ESPEasy - NTP time retrieval [...]
WeiterlesenMeanwhile, MP3 players, smartphones and USB sticks with 128GB and more memory are part of everyday life. Storing and transporting music has therefore become easier than ever. About 30 years ago [...]
WeiterlesenThe APDS-9960 is a sensor that can be connected to a microcontroller like the ESP8266 via the I2C bus. With the help of the sensor it is possible to recognize simple gestures, which [...]
WeiterlesenWhile setting up the exhaust system for my soldering station and the chamber of my 3D printer, I was faced with the problem of somehow splitting the intake of the exhaust system into two ways [...]
WeiterlesenI am not sure if ESPs can really be misused to build a botnet. Either way, security should not be neglected even with the small ESPEasy devices. [...]
WeiterlesenTo make sure that my MagicMirror is only on when I really use it, I configured a small automation using NodeRed. So the screen is only turned on when [...]
WeiterlesenSo that I can switch off my 3D printer automatically after the printing process, I have installed a Sonoff relay so that it can interrupt the power supply to the complete 3D printer. The relay [...]
WeiterlesenThe VL53L0x or its sister/brother, the VL53L1X is a very accurate and relatively inexpensive laser distance sensor. With this, distances can be measured almost to the millimeter. In one of my [...]
WeiterlesenThe BME280 is one of the sensors I use in almost all my projects. With this not only the temperature can be measured. Also the humidity and the air pressure [...]
WeiterlesenESPEasy can now read out very many different sensors and / or control actuators (see also ESPEasy - Sensors & Actuators). With the help of the "Rules" can then locally on the ESP [...]
WeiterlesenEspecially if your own circuit has a display to show values, the next step is to also connect a control option. You can connect pushbuttons or switches. A [...]
WeiterlesenThe PCA9685 is a quite practical IC. It is connected to the microcontroller (for example ESP8266) via I2C and can then control up to 16 individual PWM channels. So you can [...]
WeiterlesenWhat I really like about Spotify is that it's very networkable. You can play or control music or podcast on another device with just a few clicks. Thanks to the free possibility [...]
WeiterlesenThe pxlBlck_8x8 was one of the first members of the pxlBlck family. Thanks to the few parts and the prefabricated WS2812 8×8 LED matrix it is quite fast to build and thanks to the adapter board it offers [...]
WeiterlesenThe pxlBlck-plugin for the ESPEasy framework is the "software counterpart" to the pxlBlck platforms. With the plugin you can easily control the installed LED matrices and with the help of the other functions is relatively [...]
WeiterlesenThe adjustable dials differ from the type of LED matrix used. Unfortunately, this is because different matrix sizes allow or do not allow different displays. Nevertheless, to give you a small overview [...]
