Thank you!

Awesome, well done!

Good to hear you found the problem! You're welcome :)

Hi Milen,What kind of device are you using for the gateway? In my project I used an ESP8266 device and it was set up to use Software serial. Did you use the same type of device and the software I included above?

Double check you have the software serial pins connected correctly. It should work if connected as per diagram above.

Hi Alan, I've changed nothing really. My system has been up and running for a over year unattended now. I've added a couple more sensor stations last summer and that is all. My suggestion for debugging is to first run them near each other, so distance/obstacles do not interfere with the connection. Verify that the private MAC address has been set correctly and that is indeed the MAC address the sensor stations are sending the data to. Is the serial gateway receiving correctly? Check that before worrying about the web server part. You can monitor the serial gateway output using the USB-to-serial adapter and any serial terminal app.

Very nice, thank you!

Sounds good and it should work fine. I have 7 sensor stations now and one of them runs off a solar panel (charging a 18650 battery) for 6 months now already. Works very nice for me.

Well done!

Nice work! I have one of these as well that I bought from Sears at the time.

Hi there!The ESP32 has some different libraries & include files compared to the ESP8266, so you have to make the appropriate changes for them. It should work fine on ESP32 devices once you've made those changes. For the first error you get (setting the transmit power) you can exclude that line if you want. I only used it to boost transmitting power for devices that were further away from the receiver and you may not need that at all (not all my devices need it).For ESP-Now functions, check out this page: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/network/esp_now.htmlFor ESP32 devices you have to include the appropriate header file:esp32/include/esp_now.hThat should fix those problems as long you check the function calls are the ones that match the ESP32.The d…

If you check the ESP32 core on github, you can find examples of the calls and how they are used. The ESP32 library uses separate function calls to initialize the deep sleep mode and to start it. There is an example here:https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/ESP32/examples/DeepSleep/ExternalWakeUp/ExternalWakeUp.inoLet me know how it works out.

That looks very nice!

Each sensor comes with a unique MAC and that is how they are identified. That is shown in the code and stated above. Under the section "ESP32 Webserver" it states : "Along with the data packet the sensor station MAC address is also sent to identify each station." The slight randomization for the sleep time is just to avoid collisions when sending the data so not too much is missed. They have been running for over 2 months without any problems, sending date roughly every 5-6 min.

Thank you!

I Made It! I am horrible with glue-sticks though, lol. Cute bot :)

I've been told that ricotta is similar, but to me it tastes different enough that I prefer quark. Yeast based stollen is good too, but is often a bit drier and has a coarser crumb to it. I guess I've been "trained" from early years on to like this one :)

It taste a bit like a mild thick yogurt and the one I make fresh tastes much better than the store bought one we used to get here. In eastern Europe it is also used to make pancakes and even served as a topping for pancakes and other deserts (fruit). My next favourite recipe is German Cheesecake that uses quark cheese, and the other 500g of quark I amde will go towards that one.

Personally I am just mostly interested in temperature and humidity at certain locations around the house. Some stations have (or will have) pressure and light measurements as well. The main webserver will get a sensors. The socket for it is already there, so it won't be difficult. There is almost no limit to the number of sensor stations of course or the types of measurements you can do. I tested one sensor station at the back of my yard and it is able to send to my WIFI server sitting in my basement (almost 60 ft/18m away through several walls).

Yes, that is a good way to do it and what I have usually done in the past.

Thank you!

I'm not sure I understand how a smaller bit would be better. Do you mean drilling two holes at the end of each mortise to form the corners? So it would be drilling 4 holes in total per mortise (for the corners) and then adjust the fence position for each set? I chose the Forstner bit diameter to match my tenon width. The setup (drilling with one large bit) allowed for a consistent mortise position and length without having to move the fence. Did I misunderstand you?

Thank you!
