 Nice idea indee, not sure about the battery life as it seems the esp8266 will never actually sleep and I don't know how much power is using the nextion while turned off

 @mika @gohan Yes, I saw it on Domoticz forum. Nice one. Mine is the same size, but much less functionality for a simple reason - I do not have anything else to control.

 I did order Nextion though some time ago and it is in my "to do" list. 
 The facie has just arrived. Hopefully I can finish it soon.Stay tuned!

 how is battery drain?

 @gohan I did not have to charge the battery in 6 months. I am using Li-on 9v battery - I could have been more efficient with 3.7v one and implement a charger as well. I just did not bother. Do not forget that the controller is on very briefly to do scenes and then you turn it off.

 @gohan thatβs the exact battery Iβm using 
 It comes with a charger.

 How do you wake the mcu? The screen uses serial

 @gohan it is a top secret proprietary technology called a switch    Itβs very simple - you just do not need to have it on all the time. Alternatively you can put it up on the wall and use 240V as a power source

 Ah, that's not fair  
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 Else there's a pretty simple thing called accelerometer, you can wake up you board with movement when you pick it up or with tap/double tap

 In fact I was asking how do you wake the mcu with a tap on the screen, since I understood it uses only serial communication.

 @nca78 thatβs way too advanced. My principle is to keep it simple  
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @gohan I was never thinking like that. The startup time is about 1sec. Given Iβm obsessed with a battery life and the device is only used occasionally, I could not come up with anything better than the switch.
