I’ve been working on an ESP32-based water level sensor project, and I’m curious about optimizing the MQTT publish frequency. My setup measures water level by pumping air through a tube and measuring pressure. I want the sensor to publish more frequently when water is draining and less when it’s refilling, using a switch status to determine the frequency.
From what I understand, the ESP32 would handle the timing and publishing, but I’m not sure how to set this up as an automation. The closest I found in the documentation is the scan interval, but that seems more suited for polling devices. Does anyone have experience with dynamic publish frequency adjustments? Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated!
On another note, I’ve been exploring the integration of Fibaro dimmers with SmartThings. As an electrician, I’m confident in the wiring, but the coding aspect for advanced functions like double press actions has been a bit overwhelming. I’ve read that community members often share workarounds, but I’m hoping there’s a simpler way to achieve basic automation without diving deep into coding. Has anyone found a straightforward solution for this?
Lastly, I’ve been experimenting with Reolink cameras and noticed that the auto-tracking feature has stopped working recently. The camera detects motion and sends notifications, but it no longer follows moving objects. I’ve gone through the troubleshooting guide and everything seems correctly configured. Any ideas on what might be causing this issue? I’d love to hear from others who might have encountered and resolved similar problems.
Overall, these projects are incredibly rewarding, but they do come with their unique challenges. I’m excited to see how the community can help me overcome these hurdles and refine my setups. Thanks in advance for any insights or advice!
