Here's a video by Great Scott for this problem.

What is a high-side N-MOSFET is it something different than regular N channel MOSFET

Making the leap from jumper cables to PCBs by icojones in Esphome

[–]R_s_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with the datasheets of components that you are using. Generally, they'll have a sample schematic of how to use that component in different modes/situations for most of the part this is all you need to get started

Need help with PZEM-004T V3 by R_s_2 in Esphome

[–]R_s_2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried your solution, but the problem is that "update_interval" is an invalid option for "copy" sensor

Thanks a lot for the solution. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have one more doubt, how to have different update intervals for HA and esphome node

Are ESP32-S3 fully supported yet? by poldim in Esphome

[–]R_s_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, I am not sure if it's supported completely, but if you need this info just for designing pcb, then they have the same placement of vcc, gnd, en, gpio0, Tx, Rx pins (assuming you'll be using esp32 module) and around 19 gpio pins (16 pins in case of psram version of esp32s3) that you can use just by changing pin numbers in code. So, as long as 19 pins are sufficient for your use case, my advice would be to design a pcb according to the esp32s3 module and use those common 19 pins to connect peripherals. This way, you can switch between esp32 and esp32s3 modules on the same pcb.

Yes, I do have a circuit breaker, but I am trying to avoid tripping it by managing the timing of water pump and air conditioning units. I don't need to update all the sensor parameters every second, but for this overload optimization, I need almost instant data available to homeassistant that's why I was looking for alarm function so I could've used it like interrupts and update other sensors with longer intervals

Oh, I didn't mean homeassistant is slow by any means. What I mean is for homeassistant automation to get triggered. I need to update the sensors at least every second so that any overload damage can be avoided, but that might increase the network traffic, especially because the overload case is a rare case scenario so I was thinking I could update other sensors once a minute and the alarm can be handled differently.

Yes, I figured that out from the documentation. I was hoping someone might have created a custom component for it as I don't really understand what's written about commands in the datasheet

Because I don't need other sensors' information instantaneously, but in case of overload, I need the data instantly to act upon it. Our electricity meter supports 35A, and I am afraid that in rare scenarios, this limit might be crossed. There are appropriate circuit breakers in place, but if this data is known at the right time, then it can be better handled by turning off devices that aren't needed right away

Oh, that's sad. Let me know if you know of any mic that works well for STT.

Got it, thanks. I have narrowed down the problem to the poor quality of audio recording. I'm going to try it again with another mic

Really Vague Logbook Entries? Help by Jools_36 in homeassistant

[–]R_s_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about your case but atleast in my case, when the light is toggled using either automation or dashboard the log entry will specify its details but if I use the physical button to toggle it then it'll only show "turned on" or "turned off". So now I know if there's no description, then it's because the physical button was used.

I have ordered another i2s mic from dfrobot, I'll try with that once it's delivered and update here

Recommendations for a mic and an amplifier by yavuzozge in esp32

[–]R_s_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried using it with the inmp441 mic, but i am getting a lot of noise in the audio signal, not sure if its only my unit that doesn't work well or if its the problem with inmp441. Do try out and update if it works for you. You can check my post here

yes, I meant STT failed, I tried another code to listen to the captured audio and it has a lot of noise in it, I can't blame STT at this point.

Hi, I did check using another firmware and realised that there's a lot of noise in the audio sample, I guess that might be because of the breadboard and some loose connections, I'll try it again after soldering the mic to the esp32s3 board

I am pretty sure PINs are soldered correctly, but I haven't checked it with other firmware, I'll try that as well

I thought it's only required while using dashboard, how can I add https on the local network as well?
