What would YOU use this in? A WLED Holiday Lights Controller Case maybe!!!

This is what I need it for is my WLED outside box. When and where can I get all the products and code? You are AMAZING!!!!

@@timothymason5545 Thank Tim. This was just the demo to see if anyone wanted a full tutorial. They did and you can find it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4Vqqdulks6ecaw.html

Perfect timing! I was just searching for this exact setup a couple of days ago for a project that I'm building. I can't wait for the full tutorial

Ah cool, Glad I could help! I'm hoping to get the tutorial 'public' next week... My Patreons have to see it first.

looking forward for the details !

I'm hoping to get it all done next week.

Very cool! I just got a used Poweredge T440 from work and wanted to add in pwm fans controlled by temp on the cpus. I haven't dug into ESP home but I'll be curious to see more about it and how I can incorporate that into my homelab.

Nice application... although I'm surprised those severs don't speed ramp their fans from the Bios.

Perfect timing in the middle of doing this with a h Bridge but struggling with the code in esp home to vari the speed (I'm not a coder) may re build the control on your setup 😊

Great to hear! haven't tried an H-Bridge yet ( I do have a project in mind thou) However, for speed control, I'd try and PWM the control to that too.

I am working on a pcb for something similar, it will just control two fans in the top of my network cabinet, and have two sensors where I do an average between them.

@@3ATIVE Mine will sit between the two fans, so I will have mounting holes at the same position as the bottom of the fans, and radius to match the fan size. I will then have the temperature sensors stick out into the airflow. I actually only got stuck when I tried to decide how to power it... external 12v power brick, mains to 12v power supply on the pcb, or go fancy and do poe, without actually using ethernet...

@@3ATIVE No, I am going to just put the chip itself on along with the components needed to make it run. I haven't decided yet if I am going with an ESP8266 or ESP32.

just what I needed for a battery box project how many fans can one esp control individually ?

Cool (LOL) The fans are powered directly from the Supply. The only thing the ESP is doing is outputting a PWM signal, so in theory.... an unlimited number of fans :)

i like how the temperature took so long to go down lol

Yeah cool... I do like to put as much on these ESP chips as possible. That way even with bad Wi-Fi it'll still control the fan.

@@3ATIVE no, I did them kind of year ago, researching here and there. But my Kx settings keep the temperature + - 0.5C to whatever number I set as a target. Up to the point fans can do of course.

@@3ATIVE not exactly, the control is inside ESP32, only the settings are exposed to HA so they can be changed remotely without reprogramming ESP32. Making the Power Supply controlled by HA would mean: if HA is down or the wifi, PS would... boil ;-)
