NodeMCU ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC
NodeMCU Status: Our air conditioner is limping with a oil logged evaporator until we replace the unit in October. The thermostat is also limping along because of leaking batteries. I’m using these NodeMCU’s to measure the temperature and humidity throughout the house and turn on / off the power to the thermostat.
An oddity that I’ve not solved is that the air conditioning ran for seven hours today with no signs of icing! I disabled the forced switch to the thermostat at 13:30 that is normally used during the heat of the day to gain access to high cool. Even without high cool we were comfortable using low cool during the heat of the day! We had planned on replacing the air conditioner in October because the evaporator was oil logged. Reversing the compressor to de-ice the evaporator may have pushed the oil out of the capillary tubes back towards the compressor in the much smaller high pressure tubes.
Another think I noticed was that the Dehumidifier didn’t run either. Meaning that the air conditioner was sufficiently removing the moisture.
Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know. We’ve resorted to giving money to the Atlanta Community Food Bank https://acfb.org/ until I can come up with something better.
