Smart Solutions for Home

On this channel, we're gonna make all sorts of cool gadgets. Mostly for Smart Homes, but not just that.

Hey there, I'm Sebastian, an electronics engineer who's crazy about home automation. I'm pumped to share my ideas with you and I'm super interested in hearing yours too. I've got a ton of ideas lined up for future projects, but if you've got something brewing and wanna share, go ahead and drop me a message.
Who knows, maybe we'll team up and create a game-changing device that'll shake up the whole market! :)

    Respect, I admire your skills and great representation. For years I've been thinking about an input tool like this for SolidWorks and Fusion 360 instead of a 3DConnection mouse. They are all beyond my financial reach. Since I would like to have an illuminated font, my question is - could the font be completely lasered and poured with clear transparent resin?

    Respekt, ich bewundere deine Fähigkeiten und tollen Representation. Seit Jahren denke ich über so ein Eingabe-Tool für SolidWorks und Fusion 360 nach, anstelle einer 3DConnection-Mouse. Die liegen alle außerhalb meiner finanziellen Reichweite. Da ich gerne eine beleuchtete Schrift hätte, meine Frage - Könnte man die Schrift ganz durch lasern und mit resine ausgießen?

    You're definitely an introvert like me. I find myself deep into whatever I'm working on and when someone disrupt me, I have no way of getting back to that work again. So If I have something going on that i would need to finish, no one, I mean not a single person or event should ever disrupt me or else I would procrastinate for days.. Anyway, I wish I could replicate your project to help me work even faster because I am currently bombarded with lots of task and I can't keep up anymore. I feel like quitting these days. I don't "alone time" anymore and that drains me BIG TIME.

    Done and built! It hasn't rained yet however everything went together really well. One thing I noticed is if the device becomes unavailable, when it comes back online it counts a closed signal in the history, I found subtracting the total 'unavailable' states from the sensor's history from the total on/off count fixed this problem. Overall a very fun project, many thanks for the design!

    An improvement would be a separate circuit to only turn on the ESP if it is raining. This could be completely analog for example it could use a 555 timer to see if the bucket has tipped.

    Wow, this DIY rain sensor project is truly impressive! You have showcased incredible skills in PCB design, CAD modeling, and 3D printing. The attention to detail in each aspect of the build, from the efficient layout of the PCB to the robust and sleek 3D-printed enclosure is really inspiring. The integration with a 'water-tight' :-) ESP32 for real-time rainfall data monitoring is a fantastic touch. Kudos to you for sharing this detailed and well-executed project. This is a prime example of what dedication and technical expertise can achieve in the DIY community. Great work!

    For those who have printed the gauge, what material did you use and how has it held up? I have a new roll of white PLA+ on the shelf but afraid it won't weather as well as PETG. I've haven't printed PETG yet but would rather do it from the start if necessary. Thanks.

  • @SmartSolutionsForHome
    @SmartSolutionsForHome2 ай бұрын

    I definitely recommend using PETG. PLA even in its plus version, is significantly more hygroscopic. If you're printing anything that's going to be used outdoors, PETG is a solid choice.

  • @FujiPhotos
    @FujiPhotosАй бұрын

    ​@@SmartSolutionsForHome Thanks for the reply! I bought a roll of PETG and am currently in the process of figuring it out as I've only ever used PLA. One more question, some comments indicated the layer lines in the funnel inhibited all the water draining to the tipping cup. What method of smoothing this surface has been found effective to conduct all the water? Thanks much.

    I built your zigbee rain guage. First, it's great. Thank you for creating such a cool design. However, I'm having one issue with the code. The History Stats "flips/on" / "flip/off" sensor seems to count the first state in the 24 hour time period. Like, if it has not rained at all, and the contact sensor was "off" the whole time, History Stats counts that as "off", and the template sensor shows ".5mm". Is this how it's worked for you as well? How do I get around this? Thank you for any help you can offer.

    Question, why doesn't reset the rain meter to 0mm at the end of the day. Now every day starts with 0.5mm of rain. comperred my code several times but can't find where it goes wrong. When I stop de video I see one difference in your code compared to the code shared in the tutorial. For template > sensor your shared code says "state_class: measurement" but the video says "state_class: total_increasing" but none of these seem to do the job right. Any help would really be appreciated.

    we can't run cables in old houses all the time. using wireless , Zigbee or Zwave would be scalable and you can use clound base set up but I like how the app is design where you can control all your smart devices

  • @SmartSolutionsForHome
    @SmartSolutionsForHome3 ай бұрын

    I agree with you. That's why I mentioned that WIFI (or Zigbee, for instance) is the second-best option if laying extra cables isn't feasible. I also use Aqara sensors on Zigbee and really like them. However, I went for cables wherever I could.
