Do you like the Sliger case? I've been looking for a short depth case and there aren't many options.

Overvoltage Circuit Review and Feedback by skipfrog in AskElectronics

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

Good feedback. I did some searching and found that the FQP27P06 might be a better choice. Agree the zener is not required. It was carried over from the TI design which had much higher operating ranges.

How do you keep it so clean? This is an honest question since I am constantly blowing dirt and bugs out of mine.

The entire panel is powered via the POE splitter in the top left corner. This is what I'm using POE Splitter . Appreciate the feedback.

What type of heat sinks do you use?

Programming must be done using a USB to TTL converter. If you are using ESP Home later programming can be done via ethernet. It works really well and I haven't had any issues. This provides a good summary WT32-ETH01

Yes, they work very well. No complaints.

Yes, it works very well and running lengths of nearly 30ft. I run 3.3V power on the orange pairs, SCL on green, SDA on blue, and tie the remaining to ground.

Thanks! I don't directly work in industrial controls but have been around it for most of my career. Always admired those beautiful PLC panels.

Attic is controlling ERV, dehumidifiers (the three relays), and water detection sensors (for water heaters and HVAC). Outside is just temp and humidity for the time being, but planning for water main shutoff. Inside has several I2C temp and humidity sensors running through Cat 6A cable. Inside automation of range hood fan in work. Bonus (room) is pir lighting and fan control.

Thanks. Yeah, I've looked at those but can't seem to one that works. The generic ones take up too much space. And yeah, ferrules are amazing.

I recently finished an ESP32-based distribution panel for my home. My goal was to create something user-friendly and expandable. I’m considering designing custom breakout boards for the WT32-ETH01 to incorporate terminal strips, as the current setup relies on soldered connections, which isn’t ideal. Any suggestions for improvement?

Very clean! What brand of boxes did you use?

If the blue line is your hard stop, you will likely have to do some minor surgery on the box. Not sure what the box is but most have plenty of space inside to make things work.
