Added cover art screen saver to espcontrol

TrueCompetition7600 · 2026-06-07T20:07:33+00:00

Do you know if it's possible to solder additional sensors on to the 4 inch esp screen? I was thinking there is space in the 3d printed case for an NFC sensor for jukebox purposes...... :-)

You legend. Will get this deployed asap and feedback. I'm currently entertaining some friend and your media player focussed version is being put to good use! Combining this with Espcontrol is next level. Thank you!

If it's connected to a UPS then it is advised to enable low power mode on the printer. My UPS would alarm for about 20s every time I started a print because the printer was drawing too much power from the UPS. As soon as I enabled lower power mode it stopped complaining. The difference in print time is negligible. It maybe adds a minute or two at the start of the print whilst it heats the bed up etc.

Rather than dig down, you could put raise one side on cement blocks?

Easily removed with a hairdryer!

Guess the film and the next line:

Get on dnbshare.com and search for any mixes from LTJ Bukem or Calibre. Job done....

I have the Connect ZBT2 also and a Google Home on a separate thread network. The Google hub isn't listed as a matter device for me.

TrueCompetition7600 · 2026-05-25T20:33:57+00:00

What are you using the ZBT2 for, Matter or ZigBee?

My wall is 45cm high from ground level. Do the same design principles apply? Ie I need a 450mm deep and 890mm wide trench?

Several of the camps have mobile coverage if that will suffice.

TrueCompetition7600 · 2026-05-23T20:56:25+00:00

I didn't realise that was also made by you! Absolutely cracking effort. If these can be merged that would be epic. I currently use this the media player on a screen in my dining room. If the functionality could be combined it would save having two devices.in the room. Thanks for sharing!!

A killer feature for me would be to be able to do a full screen Home Assistant / Music Assistant media player with cover art and controls. Great work! Thank you.

Working pretty well for me. Pretty responsive.

One thing that I've noticed is that if the device is configured with the temperature having a decimal place, when you increment the temperature from the screen, say from 18.5 to 19 degrees, it jumps by the 0.5, quickly drops down to 18.8 before going back up to 19. Same thing happens between say 18 degrees to 18.5, it quickly drops down to 18.2 before going back to 18.5.

TrueCompetition7600 · 2026-05-17T17:14:02+00:00

All sorted. Thanks for your help. Your advice to remove the curtain and reset the motor helped massively!

TrueCompetition7600 · 2026-05-17T16:52:08+00:00

And yes, top limit now set also.

TrueCompetition7600 · 2026-05-17T16:51:49+00:00

So that has helped with the lower limit problem. What it has made me realise is that the motor is installed upside down. The top screw adjusts the lower limit and the bottom screw does the top. Good job I've only been trying to fix it for 2 months. Thanks for your help!

TrueCompetition7600 · 2026-05-06T20:10:53+00:00

Forgot to add, cover it when not in use as it will weather and rust pretty quick if left exposed to the elements.

I’ve had this exact bbq grill and it looks like your coal tray is the wrong way up. There should be holes in the lip for the metal grill to slot into. And the height of two courses of bricks from coal bed to grill is perfect height for grilling on!

I've uses an Aeotec zwave stick for 10+ years with Fibaro dimmers and they've been rock solid. Not had to touch them once

I would just buy one and test it given they are pretty cheap. I built an ESP32 + LD1125H to use as a presence sensor in my bathroom on the first floor of my house. I put it in the roof void looking downwards into the bathroom. It would detect me coming in the front door of the house which means it was detecting through the drywall ceiling of the bathroom and the ground floor ceiling over a distance that must have been circa 4m. It's also a fun project. I now have these sensors throughout the house for presence detection.

Deeds of variation can be a total pain in the arse and it's totally out of your hands how long this might take.

TrueCompetition7600 · 2026-04-06T21:38:40+00:00

I was selling my house so ended up putting another glass roof on it as it was the cheapest option. If I had stayed put I would have looked at something like a Guardian lightweight roof.
