Awesome. I am glad it worked out!

Hello. Thanks. I am using my home wifi and I am running home assitant at home. Only the device is installed in the car, everything else is at home - over wifi. If you are parked far from home, then this setup might not work for you.

The Wemos d1 mini already has a built-in voltage divider. I simply extended the range of it. If you are using something other than the Wemos d1 mini, I recomment you check the shcmatic first.

Thanks - price mainly.

Thank you. It is definetly worth learning how to build PCBs and they are really cheap these days.I am using a CE smart plug with energy monitoring. When the cooktop is on, it consumes 1W, enough for me to use it as on/off indicator. Here:I have a built in web interface in the controller that I can use any phone to access - that is what you are seeing in the pictures.

Yes, that would be cool.

I am using a CE smart plug with energy monitoring (how-to video: https://youtu.be/DDYK7cE9rEA). I got it a while back from Costco and installed Tasmota on it (MQTT). Luckily, when the cooktop is on, it consumes 1W .. enough for me to get its on/off status.

Hello gordonfleming4040, thank you. TelePeriod maybe? The default TelePeriod is set to 900 seconds ( 15 minutes). Did you check if mqtt msgs sent every 15 mins? or you never get any mqtt msgs out?

Hi Ragothaman, thanks for your comment. Just to clairfy, I am not trying to check the CONDITION of the battery. That is a completely different test that is much more complicated, as you mentioned.I am simply checking the volt which is is a ROUGH estimate of the battery charge. I omitted and made some assumptions to make this as-simple-as-possible while getting a "good enough" read of the battery charge. For example, I didn't take into consideration the chemical composition, the ESP load, the battery size, the resistors' tolerance, the battery temperature or even the accuracy of the multimeter - just to name a few. Hope that helps.

Thank you Bob.

Hello, the build video is out (with schematic)

Looks awesome and compact!

Thank you!

Hi, I will be posting a video on my YouTube channel with a step by step instrcutions on how to put it together.

Hello, I attached the schematic above, have a look.

You play streams by sending the URL of the icecast to the "/your_mqtt_topic/stream" topic just like you do with the /play command. Please note that you can only play HTTP urls and not HTTPS.

The player can only play non-password protected http files - so no samba or any other non-http protocols. Try to host the mp3 files on an http server (like apache or ngnix) and give it another try.

Hi Arye, that is good idea. I will add the username (admin) to the README. The COM port is managed by the OS not ESP8266. No code on the ESP8266 will prevent you from seeing the COMs. Check your cable/setup.The full source code is on my gitlab (link is in the artice above) if you want to do any change.

Thanks! Unfortunately, no - because the ESP8266 has one ADC port only. You can try ESP32 which has more but Tasmota for the chip is still in beta. You might want to give that a try or wait a bit for the public release.https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/tree/firmware/f...

Great!No, not with the bin file. But you can always download the source code and add any extra functionality you like. All other PINs are available for IO.By the way, I have been getting reports that someone people when they restart the device, it asks them again to go through the setup. Are you having this issue as well?

Some people have reported the same issue: https://gitlab.com/MrDIYca/mrdiy-audio-notifier/-/issues/1Not quite sure what the cause it.

Yes, the username is "admin" and the password is the same as the AP's password (mrdiy.ca if you didn't change it).

Thank you! I will look into those.
