Would Esphome work with this board? Would love to see RNT including ESPHome in your tutorials for those of us using HomeAssistant. Also with options to use mqtt or the HA api.

Found this tutorial because I have one 8266 with relay shield running a heater controlled by an Esphome thermostat controller and another 8266 running temperature shield and wanted to integrate the 2 together.

Cheers,

In reply to HU GO.

To solder to the shield, you need a 1206 SMD resistor.

Hello Sara,
Before I start soldering, one question.
What kind of resistance does the 4K7 on the shield come with?
Best regards

In reply to Sara Santos. Oh thanks I have never done that before. I will give it a try. Dave

Hi.
We don’t sell the boards.
But you can download the gerber files and order the boards yourself.

Hello I am late to the part but would love to buy some of your PC boards, Do you sell any retail??

You are doing great work here I hope that you are well in these challenging times

Has anyone modified this PCB to support non-surface mount (?) components. Newbie here and would like to use “traditional” / Through Hole components.

Thanks

In reply to Rui Santos.

Under “How the code works” below is shown; instead of showing GPIO code.

Defining GPIOs
In this section, we define the GPIOs for the output, the status LED, PIR motion sensor, and the LDR.

// Auxiliary variables for temperature and humidity
static char celsiusTemp[7];
static char fahrenheitTemp[7];
static char humidityTemp[7];

Fantastic job you’re doing by the way.

Great project, very detailed.
For those who take it on and feel confident enough to modify your pcb design and software, i’d suggest to use a neopixel rather than an LED. That gives one more signal functions
