Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent project where I integrated an ESP32 board with Zigbee and 1-Wire sensors. It’s been a fascinating journey!
I came across this ESP32 board on OSHW and decided to modify it to suit my needs. I replaced some relays with PWM MOSFets and added a 1-Wire bus for DS18B20 temperature sensors. The goal was to create a versatile board that could handle multiple sensor inputs and integrate seamlessly with Home Assistant.
One challenge I faced was getting the Ethernet functionality to work properly. After some troubleshooting, I managed to fix it by adjusting the GPIO pins and jumper settings. Now, the board works flawlessly over Ethernet, which was a key requirement for me.
I also added a feature to reverse the power polarity, which came in handy since my dad and I wired our sensors differently. This small addition made the board more versatile for both of us.
For those interested in creating something similar, I recommend starting with a solid design and thoroughly testing each component. It’s also crucial to check the GPIO pins and ensure they’re compatible with your setup.
I’d love to hear if anyone else has tried something similar or has tips for improving this project. Happy tinkering!
