Use ESP8266 as serial gateway?

Burre last edited by

Hi!

To simplyfy testing and remove the need to build a new gateway i was thinking, is it possible to use the serial/usb interface on the esp8266 gateway as serial (using the existing sketch)? Reading sensors data what way is no problem, but can I also send commands that way? Unfortunatly I only have sensors so I am unable to test.

Thanks in advance.

I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system. So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please? S.

as I experienced, MQ sensors are not really gaz sensitive, they are more particle size sensitive when hot enough and when not totally scrap. I would not rely my life on them, if you have an alcool spray use it around and any MQ will to go the sky...

@buxtronix thanks for the effort! Why not make a PR? 433MHz is a quite unique value proposition of MySensors. I'd recommend a quick search through the open issues on MySensors github, maybe some CC1101 support was requested already. In any way, I'd encourage to raise a PR to the development branch. Who knows, if we get some people engaged, maybe we can release a new official version of MySensors with improved hardware support. Thx, Dirk.

Hello I still didn't figure it out exactly, what is the issue with LGT8F328P and arduino, but for start, it can work, if you define 4x faster baud rate. So I define MY_BAUD_RATE 76800 and connect terminal with 19200, and it works. LGT is started in 8 MHz by default, and it looks like this is not corrected with mysensors. But this only helped for serial port, because later I had issues with DHT library timings. If I later change speed to 16 MHz and start serial port again, it works as expected: noInterrupts(); CLKPR = 0x80; CLKPR = 0x01; interrupts(); Serial.begin(19200);

Great project! With some guidance, KiCad and AVR will click again!

we’ve been using Triton detectors at my school for a while now, they catch both nicotine and THC vapor fast and it sends an alert right when someone vapes, even picks up small amounts. it’s probably the closest thing you’ll find for what you need.
