GitHub: https://github.com/debsahu/TheButton Things we want to achieve: Low on power consumtion: ESP8266 is OFF when the button is not pressed debsahu/ESP_External_Interrupt Portable: Uses 18650 battery, lasts years Talks to Home Assistant: debsahu/HARestAPI

Idea: Wouldn’t be cool for many McLighting (RGB LED lighting using NeoPixels) to talk to each other and synchronize? Implementation: Here is my naive attempt at this, which requires McLighting to be served as stand-alone web-client. Link: https://github.com/toblum/McLighting/tree/experimental/Arduino/MeshyMcLighting Features Uses painlessMesh to create mesh network and broadcasts state to every node Does not need WiFi connection

Idea: Control components on Home Assistant directly from ESP8266. Implementation: Develop an Arduino Library that can be used in various projects without the requirement of setup of a MQTT sensor + automation on HA. This uses RESTful API commands (link). Arduino HARestAPI Library: https://github.com/debsahu/HARestAPI

Idea: Did you ever want to use ESP8266 to communicate to Home Assistant directly? Implementation: Here we use a color sensor to read colors and change a RGB light in Home Assistant to the color observed. Arduino Code: Link RGB Lights connected to Home Assistant McLighting: https://github.com/toblum/McLighting

Building electronics is one of my hobbies and I have in the recent year developed this skill to a point that I can help inspire others to make these things that make our day to day activities easier. Activities as simple as turning on and off lights using the internet (or using voice via siri/alexa/google
