DIY ESPHome Multisensor - Temp, Humidity, RGB LED, Motion and LUX
Переглядів 184,946
5 років томуI built another multisensor for the bedroom and I decided to change up a few components. Dive in and take a step by step approach to build it with Otto Winter's ESPHome software this time around as it's been a year since I built the initial Bruh Automation version. ESPHome is easy to use and configure; No Arduino IDE, no coding, just a config file and the sensors wired up!

Really in depth and more importantly you are explaining WHY you are doing things. So many people forget about us Electronics Newbies. It's all well and good being told "put this here, then click here", but we don't learn anything that way. I'm going to be following this tutorial for sure! Not checked if you have yet, but if you could put a parts list in the description, this video would be perfect (even if they are affiliate links!).

Thank you Travis for another, well explained DIY video. I was going to go into more explaining of why I like your clips but I see that I am not alone as Peter Ebenezer has posted everything I was about to write. I have been into all types of electronics, and many other things as a hobby and as work. I have been watching the top 5 video makers on Home Assistant, OpenHab, ESP****. Out of the top 5, you are the only one that will go back in time to repeat and explain all the basics and the "why's". I do understand that all of this information has already been explained by all of the other video's at some point in time. My problem is that I do not want to go through a 2 hour Live video, or scn through 2 years of earlier videos to find out the very basics of how to get a sensor going. By explaining and repeating each step there are some people that will complain about that fact that the topic has already been explained 2 years ago. I do not mind hearing topics that are "old news" to me, to help the new people getting into this hobby. It takes only a few extra minutes in the entire video, and it will attract a much larger following after time. If you are not up to speed with the other groups you need to spend hours going back in time before being able to complete the project. Bottom Line,,, PLEASE continue with explaining in DETAIL each step and the "WHY's" as you have been doing. I watch just about every flick of yours and will continue. Thanks again.

Finally got the last components, the Adafruit led's took a LOOOONG time to arrive. I've gotten three built, darned it's tight space in the box, I've had to cut the wires, and solder them instead of the cableconnectors, and also cut the pins from the DHT22 to get it at least a bit flush, but now they look really nice, and works perfectly. I do have an issue with the lux sensor, it's a bit recessed, so I'll have to experiment with the placement of the sensor. Thankyou very much for this excellent kit!

Yes it can be a chore to make it fit in the case all correctly, I've seen some other cube style ones on Thingiverse I'm going to try for my next one that has a bit more room to make it easier.

I never would have been able to do this by myself. The explanation as to the why, and not just “do this, do that” really helped. I was able to set up my outdoor thermometer with temp and humidity, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, and until I saw your video, I didn’t think it could be done. This is now the second time I follow your instructions on a project, since I really started getting into the tinkering in July. By the way, in case this happens to someone else, when I was about to flash for the first time, the USB wasn’t being recognized. In the ESPHome instructions, it shows they you may have to restart the add on, for it to recognize the USB connection. After the second restart, it saw my usb connection and the flash was flawless. I also didn’t have to add the IP address when configuring the add on. Thanks for another great video!

Great video Travis! ESPHome definitely looks like a simple enough interface to bring all these sensors together. I'll have to try it - and probably get some help with it from you ;) - when I put the new version of my Kube multi-sensor together - I'm going to make it work with ESPEasy for a start, since I already wrote a plugin for it to work with the TE AmbiMate sensor board, but I'm wondering how hard it would be to make that board work with ESPHome, as well (it is I2C though it requires some specific messages back/forth to get the data).

@brian.hanifin 5 років тому
Thank you for the ESPHome videos. I am finding myself incredibly inspired by how quickly I can configure a new sensor. In fact I went a little wild and converted all of my SonOff plugs, and then did an ESP32 BLE hub (to bring outside MiFlora sensors into HA), and an ESP8285 Dog Water Bowl sensor. :D I have run into a problem with the SonOff S31 plugs though. If I enable the cse7766 power sensor then the plug stops reporting and is seen as offline by HA, and on my high quality metal floor fan I can hear the motor groan when the relay is toggled momentarily. The plugs work perfectly if I disable the sensor. Seeing you add an "update_interval" to your sensors makes me think that is worth a try. I was wondering if maybe it was freezing up because it is trying to push through more data than the chip can handle.
@brian.hanifin 5 років тому
Nevermind. I just checked the documentation and update_interval defaults to 60 seconds. So that shouldn't be the problem.
@TheJimbrex 5 років тому
Great video, Travis! Just a quick question: Do you tink that the DHT22 temperature values will be influenced by node MCH heat inside the box? And neopixel led, when on, will influence the lux sensor value?
@digiblurDIY 5 років тому
Potentially yes as heat rises. If that's an issue I would opt for a larger case. I do plan on putting another sensor next to it to test but in my testing of sensors side by side you question which one is right.

Another great video from digiblurDIY! I did have an issue with the Hassio Add-on seeing the Node MCU USB. Finally got the Raspberry Pi (my host) to recognize the NodeMCU plugged into it, however still could not flash over the USB; would not connect. I had to use the Hassio ESPhome add-on to create a new .bin file and then move it over to my windows machine and flash the NodeMCU using esphome-flasher. Seems there is something I am missing to get the usb to mount properly in the Raspberry Pi host. But all is well. In the Hassio Add-on ESPHome, I created a new device using the setup wizard, I then edited the .yaml file to add in the static IP information. I then compiled the new device from the Hassio Add-on ESPHome GUI and then downloaded the file, moving it over to my windows machine. I then took that bin file and flashed the NodeMCU using esphome-flasher, and bam....went right online in the Hassio ESPHome GUI.

I am working on a similar project but with ESP32 board and enabling also Bluetooth BLE scanning. Instead of DHT22, I am using a sensor HTU21D which has pretty accurate readings the only problem is that after some X time it starts to report always the same value. I did a duplicate setup of the first one and the same issue appears, not sure what's causing this. The other sensors light (TEMT6000) and the RGB led remains responsive and work as should. Would be easier to move to DHT22 I think.

I finally got around to building my own Multisensor with ESPHome. Worked like a charm. Only issue I ran into was that one of my GROUND terminals on the NodeMCU did not work. So I had to make a jumper so I could ground two sensors to the same terminal on the board. I was going to put two motion detectors on the Multisensor (using two different GPIO pins), but I think I did something wrong and the "magic smoke" got out of one of my AM312's and it doesn't work anymore :( Either way, the Multisensor is a great project in ESPHome.

Thank you very much for the video. Starter question: With a completely new NodeMCU, when you say in min 1:55 to attach with USB, you mean connect a USB cable from the computer to the USB of the NodeMCU?
@digiblurDIY 4 роки тому
Yes, connect a usb cable with proper data and power lines to either your computer or Rpi.
@JohnsDIYPlayground 3 роки тому
You would connect the NodeMCU to whatever system is running your Home Assistant with ESPHome on it. I screwed this up several times in the past by plugging a new device into my PC thinking it would work... until it dawned on me I need to have it plugged into my Raspberry Pi running HA / ESPHome. Also, if it doesn't see your device hooked to the USB port, try and restart the ESPHome add-on. It seems to help detect new devices on the USB ports if not automatically.

I wish someone would come up with a wizard-like configuration suite for ESPHome/Tasmota. I love iot stuff, but the amount of configuration involved is offputting to me. Even a GUI to view Tasmota rules and use a few dropdowns to change parameters would be game changing.

Hey Travis, this was again, a great tutorial that was so easy that an idiot like me could follow it. I do have a question...is there a way to calibrate these sensors? The humidity has always worked well, but the temperature , which was correct at the start, is no longer working correctly. I’m hoping that maybe there’s a way to calibrate this sensor so that it works correctly again. Thanks again for all you do.

Yes, you could always apply a sensor filter to change any values as needed - esphome.io/components/sensor/index.html?highlight=filters#sensor-filters

Awesome Video! I'm trying to do a version of this with a D1 mini. I purchased the same PIR sensor that you are using. When i get everything wired up the PIR sensor just reads motion detected. it never goes clear. I have tried pins D3 and D4. any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
@digiblurDIY 5 років тому
Have you tried other pins? I know the D4 has an external pull up resistor and might stop it from pulling down.

Yep that was it! Of course the two pins I tried both had pull up resistors. Tried a third pin and it worked like a charm!

Connect the ESP to where your Home Assistant (HA) is installed on... (rasp pi but using web interface of HA from a PC)... if you still don't see the second option in the upper right for "xxxx/ttyUSBx", restart ESPHome from within HA and refresh the PC browser.
@WayneKellen 3 роки тому
Great guide. I do have a question. Will EspHome perform a function and check sensors at the same time? I am looking to use one to run a DC motor until a limit switch is met. Then stop the motor and display the status of the limit switch.

Yes. You can get very flexible with things as people use them for many projects with motors and such.

Thanks for a great video. I used the 5mm Neopixel LED with a Ultrasonic distance sensor to create a parking assistant and it worked great. Now I'm trying to create a second one but I cannot get the Neopixel LED to display the correct color unless it connected either directly to the breadboard or with cable no longer that 8-inches. If the cable is longer, the colors are just random. My setup is to change the light to GREEN when its safe to stop, ORANGE when getting too close for comfort and RED if it way-too close. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I've tried different cables, NodeMCU ESP8266, breadboard and Neopixel LED, but all with the same random lights if the cables are longer.
@digiblurDIY 3 роки тому
That's usually due to the voltage drop of data signal. You might need to do a 5v level shifter and run the LEDs at 5v power and shift the 3v3 data line up to 5v.

@digiblurDIY 5 років тому
I haven't messed with ESPEasy too much as I found it had a few issues in the past which could be fixed by now then combined with the 2 step flashing thing for 1 meg ESP chips I haven't gone back to it much. I'll have to take a look at it again and see what has changed. Recompiling is no issue on ESPHome though it only takes 15-20 seconds on my older box and it also makes for small and efficient binary. Pros and cons to all the features of course.

Hello Travis, Does the clamp output an AC sine wave, and if it does, would the negative voltage affect the board when you connect it to A0. Would it be necessary to rectify the clamp output to DC before feeding it to A0 or would that be unnecessary.
@digiblurDIY 4 роки тому
You could do that as I have worked with some clamps in other fields that had a 1v-5vdc output. The current implementation of the CT clamp sensor in Esphome uses emonlib based off of adding a DC bias to the signal. learn.openenergymonitor.org/electricity-monitoring/ct-sensors/interface-with-arduino

Hi As a newbie I am a little confused. When you set a static IP address do you first have to log into your router and set the static ip there or is it all done within the sensor yaml file. Enjoyed your video.

No. I am setting the static IP in the esphome device itself outside of my DHCP scope my router gives out IPs.

Have you got or can you recomend a video on filters and calibration? I have lots of DHT22's that all read different temps when side by side....? Thanks

That's the nature of the beast with those DHT22's or really any temperature sensor. You can try to calibrate them but the calibration really isn't linear. Here's what I've used before: esphome.io/components/sensor/index.html#sensor-filters
@airsoft3605 4 роки тому
Do you happen to know if you can subscribe to multiple MQTT topics on single Esphome device (esp8266)? I was thinking about this when you mentioned LEDs that tell you if your alarm system is armed. In that scenario, one MQTT topic could be for alarm system, and when the multisensor would receive a message on that topic, it would turn the LED red/green.
@digiblurDIY 4 роки тому
Pretty sure you can based on how the esphome config is setup to be flexible with multiple sensors. Typically you would have one topic for that with multiple payloads but multiple topics should work same. Or you could push over data to it via NodeRed automations. So many ways to do things. esphome.io/components/text_sensor/mqtt_subscribe.html

Possibly a little bit as heat does rise but it should give you a general idea ofnrhe temp and with long jumpers you could mount it anywhere away from the MCU. Put it in any case you want type thing. This is all DIY to adapt to your needs.
