HowTo: NodeRed / Tasmota – Build a WhatsApp(*) icon lamp

Posted on by

In dem Artikel „NodeRed/Tasmota - Building a Facebook icon lamp“ und „NodeRed/Tasmota – Building an Instagram icon lamp“ habe ich beschrieben, warum diese Lampen recht nützlich sein können, wenn Ihr auf dem laufenden über Benachrichtigungen auf Euren Social-Media-Accounts bleiben wollt.

In addition to Facebook and Instagram, you will probably also receive several notifications on WhatsApp(*) every day. With this Whatsapp(*) lamp you can also have these notifications clearly displayed.

How to do this and what you need to bear in mind is described in the following article.

Safety instructions

I know the following notes are always kind of annoying and seem unnecessary. Unfortunately, many people who knew "better" have lost eyes, fingers or other things due to carelessness or injured themselves. Data loss is almost negligible in comparison, but even these can be really annoying. Therefore, please take five minutes to read the safety instructions. Because even the coolest project is not worth injury or other trouble.

Prepare LED strips

With the Whatsapp(*) lamp there is - in contrast to Instagram- or Facebook lamp – only one LED strip in the frame of the lamp housing. This makes the soldering work a little easier.

In order to be able to connect the LED strip, the connecting cable is first prepared. To do this, take an approx. 15cm long piece of cable, separate the individual wires from each other as shown and insulate the ends by approx. 5mm. You can then tin the ends of the cables with a little solder.
Once you have prepared the connection cable, it is now time to prepare the LED strip. To do this, place it in front of you so that the small black arrow at the end of the LED strip points away from you towards the rest of the LED strip as shown. This arrow indicates the control signal input for the LEDs.
Now tin the contact pads of the LED strip at this end as shown in the picture.
Danach könnt ihr die vorbereitete Leitung an den LED-Streifen anlöten. Achtet dabei darauf, dass Ihr die rote Leitung für den Kontakt „+5V“, die grüne Leitung für den Kontakt „Din“ und die weiße Leitung für den Kontakt „GND“ verwendet. So fällt es euch später leichter die Leitungen den korrekten Kontakten zuzuordnen.

Glue in LED strips

The prepared LED strip can now be glued into the frame of your Whatsapp(*) lamp.

To do this, first push the cable of the LED strip as shown...
...through the hole in the back of your Whatsapp(*) lamp.
Then remove the first part of the protective layer of the adhesive strip on the back of the LED strip and attach the first part of the LED strip to the frame of the Whatsapp(*) lamp as shown.
Another view of the first part of the LED strip, which was initially temporarily glued in place.
Before the LED strip can be completely glued into the frame, you should first solder the supply line. To make it easier to solder them, the ends of the individual cables are first stripped again and tinned with a little solder.
At this point, if possible, you should also tin the corresponding (see next picture) contact pads on the LED strip. This makes soldering the supply line much easier later.
Then solder the supply line to the contact pads of the LED strip. Make sure that the coding of the conductor color to the contacts is as clear as possible. Normally - even in this case - the ground or GND is always marked with black conductors and the supply voltage (in this case +5V) with a red line.
Ist die Leitung korrekt angelötet könnt Ihr den LED-Streifen wie abgebildet in den „Zipfel“ des dargestellten Whatsapp(*)-Icons drücken. Achtet dabei darauf, dass Ihr die LED-Gehäuse nicht beschädigt und das dabei kein Kurzschluss an der soeben angelöteten Anschlussleitung entsteht.
You can then route the connecting cables out through the hole in the housing as shown.
Once you have pressed the LED strip of your Whatsapp(*) lamp everywhere and glued it in properly, you should...
...fix it with some hot glue.

Connect ESP8266 adapter board to the LED strip

Die LED-Streifen sind nun vorbereitet. Damit diese auch leuchten und generell gesteuert werden können benötigt Ihr noch ein ESP8266-Adapterboard um die LED-Streifen anzusteuern. In diesem Fall wird ein „WEMOS D1 Mini“ verwendet.

It is also recommended to deactivate the LED of the ESP8266 adapter board at this point. This is described in the article ESP8266 - Remove/deactivate LED described.

Prepares the ESP8266 adapter board again by...
… Ihr die Kontakte „D4“. „G“ und „5V“ – wie abgebildet – mit etwas Lötzinn verzinnt.
You should then prepare the connecting cable again by first shortening it to the required length. You can use the recess in the back of your WhatsApp (*) lamp as a guide, as shown. Shorten the line at this point and...
…separates the lines from each other. The individual ends of the cables should be stripped of 5mm of insulation again and tinned with a little solder.
Die vorbereitete Leitung kann dann mit den vorbereiteten Kontaktflächen am ESP8266-Adapterboard verlötet werden. Dabei muss die rote Leitung wieder mit dem Kontakt „5V“, die grüne Leitung mit dem Kontakt „GND“ und die weiße Leitung mit dem Kontakt „D4“ des Adapterboards verbunden werden.
Damit beim späteren „Verstauen“ des Adapterboards keine Kurzschlüsse zwischen den angelöteten Kontakten entstehen könnt Ihr die Kontakte mit etwas Heißkleber isolieren.
You can now hide the completely prepared adapter board including the connected cable in the recess on the back of your WhatsApp(*) lamp.

Connect the connection socket

The difference in the power supply to the Instagram or Facebook lamp is that your Whatsapp(*) lamp cannot be powered directly via the micro USB port of the ESP8266 adapter board. So far there are only two lonely cables sticking out of the housing of your Whatsapp(*) lamp. So that you can now connect a power supply there, these lines are now given a connection.

For this you need a 5.5/2.5mm barrel connector. These barrel connectors are quite common for supplying energy to small devices.
You will also need two approximately 2cm long pieces of shrink tubing with a diameter of approximately 4mm.
Then slide the pieces of shrink tubing over the connecting cable as shown and...
...then connects the barrel connector with the connecting cables as shown.
The pieces of shrink tubing are then pushed over the bare solder joints of the connecting cables to prevent short circuits. Once the shrink tubes are in the right place, you can shrink them onto the connecting cables with a little hot air or, if necessary, a simple lighter. To do this, simply briefly heat the corresponding shrink tubing but be careful not to burn the insulation of the cable or the shrink tubing itself.
You can then fix the connecting cable in the housing opening with some hot glue.

Glue on paper covers

Eure Whatsapp(*)-Lampe ist nun fast fertig. Das einzige was noch ein bisschen die Optik stört ist, dass man den „nackten“ LED-Streifen direkt sehen kann. Um diesen etwas zu verstecken werden nun zwei Papierstreifen mit den Abmessungen 32x185mm in den Rahmen geklebt. Diese Papierstreifen sind eigentlich Universaletiketten, das heißt eine Seite ist mit Kleber Beschichtet sodass Ihr den Papierstreifen leicht in die Lampe kleben könnt.

The easiest way to cut the paper strips is with a cutting plotter. If you don't have access to one at the moment, you can also use scissors or a sharp knife and ruler. Make sure that you do not damage the surface you are working on with the knife.
Then stick the first strip of paper into the upper part of the frame of your Whatsapp(*) lamp. Remember to remove the protective layer on the back before sticking. Also make sure that the paper strip is flush against the front edge and is pressed down neatly everywhere.
The second strip of paper is then glued into the lower section of the frame in the same way.

Once you have glued all the paper strips into your WhatsApp (*) lamp, the whole thing should look something like this.

Before commissioning, you should now follow the tips from the article Eektronik - Commissioning of a new circuit note.

Flash Tasmota firmware

Now it is time to transfer the Tasmota firmware to the lamp. Program the Tasmota firmware on the ESP9266 adapter board. How to do this is described in the article Tasmota - Flash firmware  explained.

Below is a configuration like I used for my WhatsApp(*) lamp. Of course, you still have to configure the access data for your WLAN and, if necessary, the access data for your MQTT server.

Configure Tasmota firmware

In order for the freshly programmed but still unconfigured firmware of the lamp to work correctly, you now have to set where the LED strip is connected to the ESP8266 adapter board.

To do this, go to the lamp's configuration page by entering the lamp's IP address in the address bar of your browser. How you can find out the IP addresses of devices in your network is described in the article Showing/finding out the IP addresses of devices in the network.
Klickt dann auf „Einstellungen“…
…und „Gerät konfigurieren“.
Wählt dann in der Rubrik „D4 GPIO2″…
…die Einstellung „07 WS2812“ aus.
Und bestätigt diese Einstellung durch einen Klick auf „Speichern“. Die Lampe startet dann neu und sollte kurz danach wieder erreichbar sein. Ihr könnt Sie dann über die Konfigurationsseite Ein- und Ausschalten.

Controlling the lamp

How you can then control the lamp - to set the appropriate WhatsApp (*) color, among other things - is described in the following article NodeRed – control WhatsApp lamp.

If everything worked out, your Whatsapp(*) lamp should ultimately look like this.

Have fun with the project

I hope everything worked as described for you. If not or you have questions or suggestions please let me know in the comments. I will then add this to the article if necessary.
Ideas for new projects are always welcome. 🙂

PS Many of these projects - especially the hardware projects - cost a lot of time and money. Of course I do this because I enjoy it, but if you think it's cool that I share the information with you, I would be happy about a small donation to the coffee fund. 🙂
