Getting rid of MelCloud in favor of ESP32 for full local control and home assistant integration for our Ecodan ASHP Using https://github.com/rbroker/ecodan-ha-local

#3Dprinted an enclosure for a TTGO #ESP32 #LoRaWAN node, not a very good fit though.. will try alternatives

Experimenting with #Samsung #smartthings capable #esp32 smart switch using their SDK and ESP-IDF. There is no need for a hub, works directly with the Smart Things app.

Meet the PS Thermo – my smart thermostat with a TFT32-based control hub and sub-GHz RF wireless sensors, the successor to BBoilRF.
Successfully integrated a rather complex Simulink modeled software component into an ESP32 ESP-IDF/Eclipse project via code generation. Pretty impressed with the outcome and how fast the SWC was developed this way. #esp32 #simulink #freeRTOS #embedded
Booting Linux on ESP32? https://www.reddit.com/r/esp32/comments/dtlj7n/booting_linux_on_esp32_realtime_video/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Experimenting with Atmega328 OTA update over RFM69 wireless link, works fine. Remaining is to implement this+GUI on the TFT32 esp32-rfm69 gateway project, so it can reflash the relay actuators if needed.

Had to increase a WiFi AP association timeout on an ESP32 project, it was failing to connect in <15 sec. What is the recommended time to wait before considering a connection attempt timed out?

Injection molded enclosure for the ESP32 based thermostat controller, looks and feels pretty neat #IoT

Interfacing an ESP32 gateway with a wireless 433Mhz fire alarm, see it in action https://youtu.be/4-7YdF4ifOU #IoT #esp32 #smarthome
Can't think of a reason why anyone would need an ESP32 emulation in QEMU, but TIL that it exis https://github.com/Ebiroll/qemu_esp32
Three ways of provisioning an ESP32 with WiFi credentials: smartconfig, AP captive portal, and GUI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNdZGgIRWVo
It's close to a year since I started working on my ESP32 based thermostat controller/gateway project with TFT display. It now has 120K+ lines of code (components included), work done entirely at nights/weekends. What's the longest you have worked on a passion project? #IoT https://x.com/mharizanov/status/1027868368500666368

3D printed enclosure prototype for the ESP32 based IoT thermostat controller project I have been tweeting about recently #esp32 #MQTT #smarthome #homeautomation #IoT #3Dprinting #design #Mechanical Need to adjust the UI for the display cover curves..

Using ESP32 generated QR code with AP credentials -> captive portal to configure the WiFi STA configuration in 5 seconds.. #IoT Isn't that cool?

Experimenting with dynamic QR generation on ESP32. Useful for product registration with serial number by the end user witn an app #IoT

PCB for ESP32 based smart thermostat controller project with touch bring-up success. The enclosure is in the works. Feeling satisfied. #IoT #smarthome

Implemented option to send a copy of the ESP32 serial log messages to MQTT; Makes it so much easier to debug remote nodes. Literally takes one line of code, look up esp_log_set_vprintf. Next is to provide API to change the log level runtime so I can focus on the desired component
Implemented ESP32 OTA rollbacks if the new firmware crashes within 45 seconds of first boot, doesnt manage to connect to MQTT or the device enters degraded operating mode due to failed hardware initialization. This gives me a peace of mind when pushing mass OTA updates. #IoT
Made a short video on my Continuous Delivery setup for ESP32 IoT projects using Node-RED https://youtu.be/paC_rVziIMQ #IoT #MQTT #OTA #ESP32
Just recorded a new video: Provisioning ESP32 devices for mutual TLS authentication for MQTT using own PKI https://youtu.be/7qTT9EPCdCw #IoT #mTLS #MQTT #security #PKI #DIY #eclipse
I now load x.509 certificates to dedicated ESP32 partitions rather embedding into the code via COMPONENT_EMBED_TXTFILES; This helps decouple the code from provisioning the device with CA and client certificate+key; Still working on PKI to provision the certificates at flash time

This is pretty interesting: Run a C Language Interpreter on Your ESP32 https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5061494/Run-a-C-Language-Interpreter-on-Your-ESP32
@EspressifSystem I'd love to get my hands on the #ESP32-S2 , count me in for a tester https://www.espressif.com/en/news/espressif-announces-%E2%80%A8esp32-s2-secure-wi-fi-mcu

Modeling touch HMIs as event-driven finite-state machines instead of coding prototypes by hand – my approach to GUI behavior design.

Testing the TFT32 ESP32 project on a 3.5″ ILI9488 480×320 resistive touch TFT – mostly a matter of adapting the display drivers.

It lives! #esp32 + 480*320 ILI9488 #TFT with touch + #LORA (not yet populated on the PCB) + RTC + piezo buzzer
