esphome VS issues

For the ESP32, an hero is in the process of adding LVGL to ESPHome. You can try it out now: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/6363

Here's the (very good!) preview documentation: https://deploy-preview-3678--esphome.netlify.app/components/...

This is such a game-changer for me that I'll be using the ESP32 over the ESP8266 for any projects involving displays from now on.

Solid state relay is probably a bad idea with all the extra heat-sinking, extra cost, and chance of getting counterfeits.

I do this with ESPHome & a J115F21C12VDCS.9 relay (note only the NO side is rated for 40A resistive): https://i.imgur.com/MqqOkoY.png

Choose any of the temperature sensors here for air temperature sensing: https://esphome.io/

Configuration is so easy. For the sensor, just copy the config from here, for example: https://esphome.io/components/sensor/bme280. Add a gpio output (https://esphome.io/components/output/gpio) and a bang-bang climate controller (https://esphome.io/components/climate/bang_bang.html)

You might want to take a look at https://esphome.io/ for an easy integration of an ESP32/8266 into home Assistant.

You can do this with a $30 Sonoff S31 running ESPHome [0]. Since the Sonoff wall switch can run a ping sensor against your server you could create a watchdog automation right on the S31 to shut off the mains power to the S31 switch and turn back on after X seconds.

There are other ways you could have the S31 do operational checks but ultimately ESPHome is probably an interesting consideration and supported by tons of off the shelf hardware.

They're pretty great and compatible with most things. ESPHome [1] is a great resource for getting ESP32's working nicely with HA and you can find lots of projects using it to learn from.

You'll likely need to do soldering if you want to connect sensors, batteries and the like.

Personally I really like what SEEED Studio [2] does with their ESP32 boards and they have nice docs.

Maybe you could set up ESPHome on the ESP32. It might make connecting those components easier, plus a decent web server built in. Then your app can be set up to access data provided by the ESPHome web server.

# # Setting pins for sda and scl will be required until https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/2970 is released

Probably an unpopular opinion, but for the simple stuff you may just want to use something like EspHome where you just need to create a yaml file. Once you’re comfortable with that maybe get into something a bit more advanced, but esphome make it a breeze. It integrates with home assistant if you already have that in place as well.

ESPHome

The root cause seems to be https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/3904. How do people get the idea to publish such shit?

For the record, this is my display's YAML configuration (please, bear in mind that the rest of the IDs and components are also present. You can get a full copy of my YAML file in here):

https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/2646 suggests that ESP-IDF changed a couple years ago, try this tweak

I have tried PlatformIO and Arduino IDE with various libraries from the bog standard ESP32 devkit to obscure packages on github: https://github.com/Murkas94/arduino-esp32-solo/tree/version_update/2_0_9 and here: https://github.com/lbernstone/arduino-esp32-solo along with something made by Tasmota. I went spelunking through various github issues and stackoverflow questions based on google searches and still can't seem to find a configuration that works.

Everything I'm reading says that if you tried to flash a 4MB image onto a 1MB ESP, that you'd receive this error. In this thread the user was encountering the error and it turned out what they thought was a 16MB ESP was actually a 4MB and it refused to flash it. So I'm questioning your claim that you successfully flashed a 4MB firmware onto a 1MB ESP.

I found this: https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/2634

Is my mistake trying to use a docker container? There is an issue against this. https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/3357 Which actually list some other boards that are also having the same type of issue. /u/jesserockz has https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/3564 . Is there a way perhaps that we could just get the board list updated https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/3564/commits/03f6cd54abec53e00ddc5d5a3ab42163f10be26a ?

Okay, thishelped
