That's great to hear... the inspiration part, not the stepper motor version (That's a pain) I'm about to make a full-on Stepper Motor tutorial for ESPHome and Home Assistant. TBH, by the time you purchase all the extra components to drive the stepper motor yours has... it'll probably be a lot easier to grab the same Nebular Light I used. They are still available - See the link in the original tutorial. amzn.to/4axHx5r

Talk to your Optician, maybe your prescription need adjusting.

@@3ATIVE ah no , i mean since the switch to one wire i cant find any adress since the console always says no devices found, which prevents me from adding new temp sensors

Nice... Coupled with my OLED Thermostat Project (LOL) you could have room-level Heating/Cooling control. - FYI: The servos I show are all metal geared. I've linked them in the description (Amazon Link).

@@3ATIVE yeah, that’s the idea! Pair it with home assistant and temperature sensors

IDK about that - You'll have to ask the homey peeps

Mille grazie a te amico mio per le belle parole. Sono emozionato che ti sia piaciuto. 🙏

Not sure if a Servo would be the right choice here, as it may not be able to pull hard-enough. - _Especially as you want a 1:2 (2x) ratio on it._ I would go for a Stepper Motor for blinds, etc. With many more revolutions available, it would be easier to gear down to get the extra torque required. #StayTuned one of my up-coming tutorials is for Stepper Motors !!! ;)

Glad to be of service. 🙏

I haven't but, it may be possible the new background codes' default setting(s) have more decimal places and is being rounded.

Thank you larry two ;)

Oh that's a bummer. One thing I've learned, since I started make ESPHome projects; - Too many things get broken too many times to rely on the developers releasing updates without problems. LOL However, I'm glad my li'video helped you - It's why I make them.

@@3ATIVE I wanted to setup the auto-update because I've got 12 devices, and having to manually update them at least monthly was getting tiresome!

Well thanks to these "Breaking Changes", I've had to update a few of my projects/tutorials 🤣 It's a burden I must bear! LOL Glad you liked it thou. #Enjoy

Ah, that's bad news. I didn't write the fix myself so, I'll let the author know. Thanks for the feedback.

You're most welcome, my friend.

Vent slats is a good one and should make for a great tutorial 💖 I have to admit, that Egg-thing is a mystery thou - What needs moving there? 😊

@@3ATIVE precise control of humidity, venting too humid air I guess, just making egg incubator via esp home and HA :)

Thank you, I'm glad you like it... _you did "Like" Button it right!_ LOL Yes, the hardware and connecting things to move will always be harder than Electronics and Coding. - I'm not sure about Zigbee and Bluetooth... Although, I am thinking about making some Zigbee devices in the future.

​@@3ATIVENow yes sorry!!

I appreciate the compliment - Thnx. Use-cases: Same here. Hopefully, now people can easily control them, We'll get some suggestions for future projects. 🤞

Cool... I plan to do a Stepper Motor tutorial soon too. #StayTuned LOL

Well the Thumbnail does say: "Everything you need..." LOL Finding some uses for these is gonna be one of my next quests too. If you have any suggestion on what you'd like me to tackle, I'd love to heard them.

Oh hey John. Yes, I heard you started looking into these.. So, I rushed the tutorial out for you! LMAO

😂 well I appreciate it!

No-No-No... My audience are the legends. I couldn't do any of this without y'all. Oh yes, a link to servo, I have an Amazon affiliate link in the description. Gimme a few and I'll add the Servo to it. FYI: Pretty Much all Servos work the same (The 5 Volts ones) So you can use any Servo you find/have..

Hang on... to save you waiting... These are the ones I showed: amzn.to/3VzUVAg But, I started by playing with these: amzn.to/4ct8Rmq

Thanks alot ❤

@@SupersonRS You are most welcome. 🙏

Very interesting video. Been trying to think of potential applications ... maybe a pet feeder or a weather indicator using symbols on a clock face.

Thank you for the feedback, I do hope it will be help/useful for you. - Oh, and "bed_juicer" ??? that's a whole other level of automation. If you like that name, wait 'til you see what I called the controls for my new Air Freshener tutorial - I had some fun with those too. ;)

I appreciate the support - I hope it's both informative and inspirational.

Yes, 1st comment Confirmed 🥳 Thanks for the feedback, I hope you find it useful. - Feel free to comment again if you think of any Use-cases / Projects / Etc... you want me to tackle.

Thank you for the supportive words. I'm not sure what you are trying to do however, this tutorial is for one (or many) "Lights" to follow a "Master Light". So, I guess if your Master SWITCH is controlling a Light then this would work by following the State Change of that first Light.

@@3ATIVE If I change the brightness, nothing happens. I have to turn the master off then on again for it to register any change to the brightness. It seems that there is no change in "state" of the brightness unless an on/off command is sent. I am using your most recent code. I am using TPLINK and MIBOXER are my master and slave. (Primary and Secondary in 2024 to be politically correct)

Let me clarify. If I change the brightness on my TPlink deco switch (master) the master will change brightness with no change on the slave. If I then turn off the master and then back on: both the master and slave will register the newly set brightness. Changing the master brightness will not trigger an event change in the slave switch on its own without an on/off from the master. Is this how the YAML code is setup?

Cool, welcome to the party and thank you for the kind words. I don't sell my code however, if you join my Discord Server, I'd be happy to help you out: discord.com/invite/3RbZgvHeJ9

Errm... I just watched the video again and everything looks fine to me.

Not really as I'm not sure how that would be useful - It would be like having a Lamp in a car that indicates it's moving!! LOL - What is you reasoning for the LED ?

I have some running here too - Such a great effect. All mine are Mic-ed, I'm still looking for a suitable (A.K.A. Cheap) Analogue to Digital Converter myself. - I mean there are plenty available but nothing I could recommend.

Slight delay... I keep adding more features LOL. - Hope you like it!, it'll be out in a few days.

Come join my Discord Server, I've documented and linked to everything there: discord.com/channels/742322633730687058/1238534117860180101

Thanks for the support - I've been wanting to do something with Blinds for some time... _God knows when I'll get around to doing it thou!_ LOL

Not specific... But, something along the lines of; Blind Strip Tilt, Vent Opening/Closing, RoboVac Door, ... - If you have any ideas, I love to hear them.

Can't wait. Love all your videos. I like the idea of blinds

Maybe it can be used for Diy switch/fingerbot? 😂

That would have been cool - But, an instant Copyright Strike/ LOL

Interesting - Thanks for the info, I'll make a note in the description.

Thank you for the kind words. 🙏 I can't answer about that other filter. However, I can't imagine it being much different - Don't quote me on that, as I've not seen inside one and I'd have to reverse-engineer it first.

I might get one and have a look also what is the cable you use in the box you did mention it in another video? from Amazon?

@@M0PAX Cool, Let me know how you get on. For the cable (and everything I use in these videos) Check the description for the Amazon Link, labelled: "Get the Gadgets, Devices and Tools I use"

payload: '{ "seg": [{ "id": 0, "n": "{{text1}}" }, { "id": 1, "n": "{{text2}}" }] }' Note the use of "id: 0" and "id: 1" - Zero is your first segment. I hope that helps.

@@3ATIVE Thank you sir, yes it does!!

@@MarkPaterson71 Cool. Glad I could help and I hope you find another Texan soon 😉

The CCS811 boards are still available and the ENS160 does look to be a similar array of sensors. Both use the i2c bus and the code looks the same too. - I can't see any issues with using this other board.

Hi Bobby, In this demo I used the "A4988" driver with a NEMA17 Stepper Motor. I later changed to the TMC2100 Driver, which is [almost] silent and you can see (or hear) it in this follow-up demo: ruclips.net/video/EiP1gODAQXo/видео.html

@3ATIVE Thanks, am trying to create a tv wall that has a picture frame in front of the TV that moves up and down to cover the TV when it's not been used

@@roystervi You are welcome 🙏 Oh that's sounds like a cool project. I'm guessing you will have to counter-balance and off-set the weight of the picture frame, I don't think the stepper will be able to lift that much weight.

@3ATIVE am going to make a very light fabric, and my kids will draw a nice picture on the fabric. So it's not going to be a heavy picture frame. I can even add a spring at the top like a garage door. Also, l have 2 barn doors that l can push with one finger. l like to test also.

@@roystervi Yeah, testing is the key and if necessary some reduction gears will give you greater torque - at the cost of speed thou. However, defo a do-able project. Having the little ones decorate it will be a nice touch. Have fun fella. 👍

The code will be pretty much the same, apart from the setup and board type. So, if you search for the layout of a D1 Mini that'll also list the GPIO numbers. Then search for the same for your S2 Mini. Using both lists you'll be able to transpose.

@@3ATIVE Thanks for the fast reply. I think I found some PIN mappings which should get me started to try it out. I'll post here later how successful I'm with this...

@@HermannThoene Cool, good luck and have fun. Also, check out my "About" links for the DISCORD server invite for better support and tips.

I'm not sure what you're seeing or why you're seeing it. For context: I have HA installed as a Virtual Machine (So Supervisor too) on my server. So, if you copy the downloaded ESPHome version to the "addons" folder and it doesn't show in the Addons store, maybe try restarting HA??

Hi, I use Adobe Premier Pro

@@3ATIVE No, I mean the home assistant file explorer that you use to copy the contents of the zip folder to the add-on folder

@@chrisvanoost3514 OIC LOL Sorry... That is the 'Samba Share' Add-on (I did mention that in the video 01:10). It shares the Home Assistant Config folder as a Network (SMB) share, making it bowser-able like any other Share on the Network.

thanks, you actually mentioned it in the video, but I couldn't catch the name.

You're not the only one... I did that too. I just brought another. However, all that board is used for is controlling the LEDs, changing their brightness and turning the Fan on&off... All of which can be done with your ESP32.

@@3ATIVE ah I feel so stupid when it happend! Can i connect the 24v from imput to the Fan directly, and connect the clk and the FG directly to the ESP6288? Ive messured 2.5v on both the CLK and FG when I power the fans directly 24v (the fan will go max speed). I just dont want to short the ESP board. I have the ESP32 and a Ali D1 Mini now.

@@raoulvisser2092 Sorry fella, I got confused - I thought you were the guy using an ESP32 in the IKEA Air Quality Sensor. Hmmm, the Air Filter board shouldn't be too hard to 'reverse engineer'. It's just a PWM for the Fan and MOSFET for its 24V supply. Then there's a "Pulse" coming back out.

@@3ATIVE No your right, I am that guy. just got my D1 Ali deleverd yesterday. Is the 24v that the IKEA pcb is passing though the Fans being manipulated by the Clk? of is CLK modifying the speed inside the FAN? Ive checked a YT vid. saying that if the PMV isnt getting a signal it will go Hi. So if i just connect the GPIO CLK wire to the CLK Fan wire. It could work. what do you think?

@@raoulvisser2092 OIC... So here's the run down: CLK (Green Wire) is the PWM for Fan Speed. FG (Blue Wire) Pulse out from the Fan. The White wire (connected to the R13) is how the ESP turns the fan's 24V On&Off via that MOSFET (Q2). The Idea being that the fan isn't powered all the time - Like when you're not spinning the fan.

Yes, exactly - It's always best to have the option.

I guess you could Google for some. However, the ones I show/used I made myself, using MDI Icons and PhotoShop.

@@3ATIVE You mean you just rotated an MDI in PS and exported it as a GIF? Something like that?

@@lverlaek Kinda... You have to make "frames", on separate layers: - Each one rotated a little - Added to PS's "Timeline" - Then you can export as an animated GIF. Here's a nice article from Adobe: www.adobe.com/uk/creativecloud/photography/discover/animated-gif.html

Well that's an idea!!! I'll have a 'Play' asap. Thanks. 👍

It's always fantastic to hear my li'tutorials are working for peeps and everything worked first time - _Even if I do show everything 'Back-to-Front' LOL_ You're right, the Co² sensor used is a _'Virtual'_ level device. There's no claim to calibrated or scientific measurements... just an "indication" of air quality. So, should be _good enough_ monitor and take appropriate action - Opening a Window, Etc.

You are welcome. Have Fun! 🥳

They'd certainly be an eye-catching 'alarm' status.
