An Esp8266 Nextion Scene controller??
-
I know the thread is getting old, but I had to say Scalz I love the work you have done on this project!
Beautiful renders and a great board in the end. How many hours do you have in that PCB design? What is your rate for a similar board with the a few minor modifications? I don't mean to offend, and that's not to say your board is not perfect, I am just interested in adding a radio module sort of.
Thank you for sharing, this thread that finally got me to register with the site. I have merely been a visitor for over a year now, but this was a great project.

@Joshua-Nulton thx :)
I don't remember for the time as i don't count, but it was not personnaly the hardest ;) because there was enough room. I made it because I was thinking it could be everywhere as there is also i2c temp/hum/light sensors onboard.Nextion is really nice, but it's not a mobile phone screen or oled. For this applicatio, imho it could render better using a cheap tablet with a nice wood or metal frame connected to controller. A little dilemma. I have not finished to design a case btw. too much things :) and add to this, I have a made a custom discrete multisensors for indoor with pir/temp/hum/lux...
So for the moment, I am only using one. for multiple things. I tried it for thermostat feedback through mqtt etc.. but I have a controller which does thermostat, and it's cool on mobile too.
Actually i have it connected to a signal generator (ad9850 like) and use nextion to config/change waveforms, for testing etc.. connected to a lipo. sort of fun&basic digital instrument (even if i have a better one).what changes would you like to see for instance? if i remember right, I can't use all features if radio module as esp8266 lacks of pins. I think i will redesign it as soon as i can get an esp32, just for fun, ;)

Hmm hey sorry for dumb question especially since it's a super old post but I don't seem to find a link to the eagle/cad documents or a way to buy this shield. I have Nextion 2.4, 3.2" and some enhanced version too.
Let me know if I missed the buy button or a way to get the fritzing/eaglecad I can change myself and maybe adapt to my sousvide and thermostat project :).
Help Please,

@Didi same as one on Scargill site ? I just saw that one a few minutes ago. Did you do your own or pick and place it ;)
Seems like fun.

DV@fets @David-Vitrant as @Didi pointed out this is Peter Scargill's board. I suggest you read this link if you want to set it up - http://tech.scargill.net/home-control-2016/ It does require MQTT and Node-red knowledge though
I uploaded the latest version on oshpark

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aljm6vH3a5I - this is a video explaining functionality (this is the older version of the board)

I'm a fan of scargill work. I saw this article a while ago but I didn't use ESP8266 at the time, so I didn't pay attention.
Now after several tests with ESP, I'm more interested in this PCB, but I can't find a link to oshpark in the article.
Can you provide a link please.:clap: -
@alexsh1 Ha thanks for the osh link :). Saved me the trouble. I find myself building many similar projets and exploring similar avenues as Scargill.
Have to use my SMD workstation and go blind for this. But will try anyway.

@scalz : What software did you used to create these 3d pics of your board?
Thanks! -

solidworks, sketchup -
Hi @alexsh1 ,
did you finished your Enhanced Version? As i understood correctly the ESP8266 Board is used to send messages/touch commands over wifi - mqtt to a controller right? How it is programmed to send over mqtt?
So if i have this ESP - Board i do not need a arduino right?
Another question: Is it possible to run this board with a arduino pro mini or uno and nrf radio to send messages to my controller?
Thanks
