in my last post, I wrote about how I made battery powered temperature and humidity sensors for my home automation system. In this post, I’ll describe how I improved them.

Using an esp8266 and a DHT11 (temperature + humidity) sensor, I created a network of battery-powered sensors that I can put anywhere in my house. In this post I’ll explain how you can make your own.
I’ve been gathering parts of old computers and I built a kick-ass All-in-One, 27 inches, touch enabled computer. Check out how to do your own! Material I had…
in my previous post, I talked about how I got hold of a bunch of li-ion batteries, in this article I’ll describe how to create a module to protect them against under voltage.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a huge pile of used laptop batteries. I disassembled them and re-used the cells in my DIY project, here’s the project log.
I added WiFi to my coffee machine, and I control it with my home automation server Domoticz, this part is about the concept and my plan.
A couple of days ago, I setup a Domoticz home automation server at my place, this will allow me to control lots of elements in my apartment and make my life easier. With this system, it is easy to add simple devices such as plugs or lights, but I was looking for something more challenging to automate.
How about my coffee machine?
I added WiFi to my coffee machine, and I control it with my home automation server, this part is about how I attached the esp8266 module to it.
In part 1 I talked about the idea and how I was planning to do it.
In this part I will describe how I attached the esp8266 WiFi module to my coffee machine.
I added WiFi to my coffee machine, and I control it with my home automation server Domoticz, this part is about the integration with Domoticz.
If you haven’t already, check out part1 and part2, they explain what’s going on 🙂 In this post, we’ll see how to prepare the esp8266, how to create the different devices in Domoticz, and finally how to create a custom component in Dashticz, an alternative interface for Domoticz.
