Re: Emulating a Short-Cycle Timer
now i just need to figure out how to disable the circulating fan timer and keep the fan on while the lights are on The first node in the string is actual an input Boolean in home asssistant for automation not the switch itself. This allows me to disable the automation while still being able to use ...

Re: Peristaltic dosing pumps setup
Thanks for the vertical card yaml. I had no idea you could add conditions to individual cards. Only took about 2min as soon as I understood it. This will help me do some other things as well. Going over your yamls I couldn't find how the pumps actual put out a mL measurement. Your esp32 is setup to ...

Re: Cheaper alternative to Atlas Scientific?
I'd be interested in a cheaper E.C. and temp alternative. Atlas has really nice stuff but, I don't need .001 accuracy for temp and ec. Their PH board is one of the best. You can use probes from other companies. Industrial usually means it holds more liquid so, stays calibrated longer. Bigger is bett...

Re: Emulating a Short-Cycle Timer
I just started with nodeRed so, there is probably a better way to do it but, here is the repeat cycle timers I have setup on a smart strip. One runs on a schedule to only run when the lights are on. The other two run continuously.

Peristaltic dosing pumps setup
I got my peristaltic pumps this week. I would like to imitate the setup LEDg is using but, I can't figure out how to get node red or a script to run the ml per gallon. I don't know where to begin to do this. Turning them off and on and setting PWM speed is easy enough but, getting it to acurately pu...

Re: ESP32 vs Arduino Mega
The esp devices, esp8266 and esp32 are cheaper and wifi enabled. The logic pins are 3.3v where the Arduino is 5v. Also, the esp devices are very easy to use now. ESPHome as seen in LEDg videos makes the coding very simple for even doing complex things. Also, Tasmota for esp8266 devices is extremely ...

Shelly RGBW2 dimming Meanwell drivers is inverted
I've been using the Shelly RGBW2 to dim a 4 channel LED light board I built (6500k, 2700k, 660nm, 720nm). It uses Meanwell elg 240 drivers. They use a 10v PWM signal and the shelly runs 12v pwm. One channel uses an meanwell LDD which is simple 5v. Using the Shelly RGBW2 everything is inverted. When ...

Re: LED Brightness
I've been using the ShellyRGBW2 to control a 4ch all meanwell elg-240. They Dim to off so, you can you the brightness to shutoff the lights without a relay. Also, the signal is inverted so 0=100% and 100%=off.
