    Home made Smart Curtain - Control with remote, app and Alexa.

    Hi, skoka123 If you are only planning moisture sensor based solenoid valve open close, I'd advice you switch the NodeMCU with an Arduino (Nano is sufficient). Once you have them, (+ the power supplies, 12v - for solenoid and 5v - arduino) then I can help you with the basic code to get the thing...

    Extending WiFi range With second WiFi router and LAN cable. Help !!!!!!!!

    Hi, I've never used this system. Since you mentioned you were looking for options other than wireless extender and LAN cable, hence thought it could be an option to explore.

    What thing(s) you bought by convincing yourself you really needed it, even when you didn't.

    For me, I look at the price. If it is in my spending threshold I will probably go for it even if I don't need it. And, I do have a complex spend matrix by which I try to classify things :eek: One of the example was PS4. I as setting up my TV - Home Theater system. I got too much carried away...

    Extending WiFi range With second WiFi router and LAN cable. Help !!!!!!!!

    Did you finally complete the setup ? Normally the Archer has an inbuilt Access point mode. So to setup you can follow the steps: Main router -> Plug the CAT6 cable to one of the Ethernet ports. Second Router -> Change it's IP address to something different than the first one. Plug the CAT6...

    Home made Smart Curtain - Control with remote, app and Alexa.

    hi, @skoka123, I think this Amazon wishlist should be a good place to start up. The NodeMCU can be swapped with Arduino the 'internet/wifi' component can be left out. The moisture sensor has a screw pot to select the sensitivity and with that it is configured Hi or Low which will be put to the...

    Please help me setup Roku ultra 2019

    I think you should go for the Apple TV. (Minimum storage size). Here let me ask you if you use the iPhone? If yes, then definitely go ahead. I have been using AppleTV for a while now and even at FHD, the clarity is stunning. The screen savers feel so real life life. The WiFi strength is good...

    Hi skoka123, that is a fine concept. I'm not aware of hydroponic, just read up something now and your comment, so please correct me if my reply gets a bit sidetracked. Your system should be like this? - 2 solenoid valves. 1 controlling fresh water, 1 controlling nutrient water. Both should be...

    21-30k Budget Laptop

    Hi Sunily, Since you are asking for a basic system, I would strongly advice to opt for a SSD based system. The mechanical hard drives are now slowly becoming to be used for long term data storage like CCTV et all. SSD will help a lot to speed up normal day to day tasks like boot up, office...

    This lockdown and Covid situation has been harsh for many, and I would count myself in it! Due to the nature of my job (oil and gas drilling) there is no scope of working from home. That being said, I'm normally used to work like 12 hours a day in some of the remotest drilling rigs, so staying...

    Smarteefi Android/IOS WiFi Smart Switch, 16A

    These are really fantastic products, I have multiple of them. Have been using them over 1.5 years now, never glitched. Unlike the Yeelink, even after software update, the logins work perfectly. Scheduling works offline too. Recently they bumped their app a bit and IMO it looks better. I run all...
