I don't have a way to measure the power consumption, but it can be calculated relatively easily: the power consumption of the sensor is about 1.5mA, and the ESP with wifi on is about 70mA. On a 2500mAh battery, that would last just a day. However you can use the deep-sleep mode of the ESP between measurements, to lower its consumption down to about 1mA I believe. This would make it last much longer.

I believe I went directly with a 1/2" drill bit. 1" from the edges should be plenty enough, I went 3/4" from the edge and it worked fine. I did not use a hammer drill though, but a normal drill. Maybe this would prevent corners from cracking off.

I love this project, thanks for sharing! Can you tell me what is the use of diodes D1 and D2? And is 940 nm a good wavelength to detect lightnings?

That's a great project! When you glue the tray together, do you glue everything (including the panel in the groove), or do you just glue the sides, to allow the panel to move freely in the groove?

That's really cool! You should write an instructable on how you made this. I am looking forward to seeimg your final model

Cool projet! J'avais fais un projet similaire il y a 2 ans:https://www.instructables.com/ESP8266-Wifi-Swit...Sauf que j'ai utilisé l'app Blynk pour contrôler le switch. Je trouve plus simple, mais c'est moins flexible que de faire son app soi-même.J'ai aussi ajouté un fusible, une varistance et un fusible thermique, pour être sûr que ça ne va pas prendre feux. J'ai aussi ajouté 2 condensateurs pour avoir un 3.3V stable, mais c'est apparemment pas nécessaire.Si j'ai bien compris le code, quand l'ESP perd la connexion wifi, il n'essaie pas de se reconnecter, et l'ESP devrait être débranché et rebranché. J'ai trouvé utile d’améliorer le code pour qu'il recherche une connexion dès qu'il la perdue.
