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.
Earlier this month I moved the two DHT-22 thermometers to the end of the breadboard to get it away from the small amount of heat the NodeMCU releases. Today I ended up extending the wires moving the thermometer off of the breadboard completely because the heat of the NodeMCU raises the temperature reported by the thermometer more than a degree especially if the air is still.
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. I sent this month’s $250 to a Baton Rouge church to help with the hurricane Laura victims.
