AWESOME! i made my smart mirror primarily off your tutorial, and one of my main problems was that the sonoff wifi switch wouldn't work for me. Hope this solves my issue, we will find out when parts arrive!
You got an awesome channel man! some really cool, innovative stuff! Thanks for your time and effort getting this stuff out there!
Man you really put the hardwork in your every video and all videos are on point 🔥 keep it up 💯
This guy is the best! I heard he also has videos on how to roller blade too. He can do it all!
My dude! You are doing some great work here. Keep it up!
Most Excellent Kind Sir. After swapping low's for high's for my set of relays, your code worked beautifully. I took it to eight switches. The really nice thing about your code is that it's not busy, like the Fauxmos. Fauxmos started acting up on multiple clients lately so yours is a welcome sight.
Great work brother. It's people like you that make it awesome to want to do stuff like this.
Nice job on 100k keep up the good work👍👍
Nice work.
Thx man for all your advices ! Now i want to do some prog !
I love your work bro!
You seem like a very talented young man, keep it up, keep learning and keep sharing !
Awesome work.. keep it up brother.
I like the stuff you build I love tech and your videos make me want to try to make new things
Congrets on 100k!
Awesome Work!
Would love to know how you made that circuit chip and installed the chip into the smart mirror. Planning on building this over the summer.
awesome explanation ... keep up the good work
Awesome work hope I will also make this one day.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You deserve more subscribers.
huge respect for you man ...you re simply awesome ...
so much efforts put it to the vids good job you have more subs!!
Cool Video and informative..keep it up bro!
Thanks gregerson. Will definitely try to build one. 1 step into the future lol
Great video!
Dude awesome video, I never fail to feel dumb watching your videos nonetheless great info
Great video dude, and NodeMCU looks super easy for making things Alexa compatible! I've used the Arduino Yun with a "Thing Shadow" before, but this seems much simpler. When it comes to controlling a smart mirror though, I prefer connecting the skill to an AWS Simple Queue Service, and long polling SQS from the RPi to read messages posted. Then the RPi turns off the HDMI signal and the monitor goes to sleep instead of turning off. Not the point of this video though, and a great demo.
Hey ,recently i made a Smart mirror like yours.
I don't know so much about programing .
I have installed a fitbit module for the mirror ,everything works but it can't show any steps or Something ,only zeros .
Please make a tutorial for how to make it work.
Ghad dayum this man is innovative
I always appreciate great work...
And u look good...😉
nice work
Will you ever post the video how you installed the ALEXA UI on the Smart Mirror?
developer.amazon.com/alexa-voice-service that's a good starting point its very similar to how he setup google Os in anther video, and the alexa dev youtube page has a lot of videos to guide you through the process hope this helps
i guess it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online ?
@Nathaniel Matthias Meh I'd suggest flixportal. Just google after it :P -ellis
@Ellis Clyde thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!
@Nathaniel Matthias You are welcome :)
Congrats on 100k
Awesome!
why did you stop posting? your videos were very entertaining
You're amazing! Good luck on everything. The chip is dope, but what about Sonoff?
Upload More!!! Keep it up 💪
Great Video, can you tell me if I actually need to have a echo device to discover the nodemcu. Right now I have a fire tv cube and using the Alexa app on my iPhone. Can’t seem to discover the nodemcu.
Your channel is going to fucking explode bro. Rooting for you!
any advantage for going this route instead of sonoff?
Excellent video. If you want a lazy solution, Sonoff makes a dry contact relay that is smart and can be controlled by Alexa through eWeLink. It's powered off 5V.
good video, i like it!
Can you add physical switch to turn off/on
I mean you can switch to turn off/on with both Alexa and physical switch
Hey, your Videos are really cool and inspirering. But i have a question ist is possible to use one of these 8 channel relais boards? And if yes, how?? Keep up!!
Great! Would you plan to test and review another brand product? such as outdoor security camera. My friend is ready to start sell it and I am so interested in it.
That sinric page has a cloud that interacts with alexa? Or is it just sort of a key generator?
Which software are you using for simulation?
Thanks G
Time to see how I can use this to get my keurig coffee made for me in the morning lol..
Random question.. is it possible to detect that a non smart light is on (smart wall switch or voltage draw) and have it post to a remote (internet based) DataBase that the light is on or off? : 1 = on; 0 = off.
Nice !
Thanks for sharing this, it works for me 80% times. I tried this with alexa but alexa many times shows server/device is not responding issue, so many times your relays gives on/off sound but lights/device doesn't on/off. Any additional suggestions on this would be helpful
Hi, Its possible can i use this from Google Home mini? ..if yes please make video thanks
Would it be possible to have a Fritzing Sketch to help wire the circuit?
Nice video. But you can do the same with a Sonoff Basic. This would be cheaper. But it's good to learn new things to do with a Node
How can you learn all of this skills ,TT
Does it work with Amazon Echo Dot 3rd generation?
omg I love your videos
Hi Grensom,cool stuff here.
I just Visited your page as well, really looks cool and great design.
Except you may wanna check back in the footer, I think the link to the Motion bedlight is either wrong / not up yet / or at least linked to the wrong page (Smart Mirror)
I was just curious what your motion bedlights look like.
@grensom can you explain how to add a manual switch into the code AND
if possible how to add a offline switch to turn on and off the device ( in absense of internet)
Will it work on Google Home?
Hey one question. In your Video you use differend Diode, Transistor and Resistor typs as on yours site. Witch are the right Typs i must buy?
PAulXD99 The schematic in the video is correct. All the parts used are linked in the description of the video
Not sure if this gonna work with alexa gen2 but I need to try this.
That’s amazing! Won’t have to invest in a Sonoff switch next time, how did you get MagicMirror software to boot instantly when you turn it on? Mine takes a couple of minutes
Ohhhh never mind I just realised the monitor is on a separate relay lmao
This is kindof a diy sonoff, isnt it? But really good video!
dont actually undertand what you say but your product is awsome .
How did you learn to engineer? It's always been my passion to do things like this but I started out learning code by teaching myself but I don't know how to step to using circuit boards.
I studies EE but there are a lot of good basic electronics RUclips tutorials like "Great Scott" out there. I also got an Arduino inventor kit and followed all the tutorials in the instructions book that taught me a lot about micro controllers and electronics.
Dude what did you study in college? You are an inspiration to me and i would love to do what you do, if i may ask does this carrer pay well?
Impresionante generalmente no comento vídeos pero estaba buscando una solución con mi nodeMCU ( lo tenia arrumbado ) para intentar integrarlo con alexa y este vídeo me ha sido de mucha ayuda
Can you control a sleep number bed with it?
Can multipal relays be controlled with a single node mcu? Plz reply and oblige
how did you make your website
I have a question about the switch part. I want to add a switch in order to use it as a 3 way switch, so it is not dependent only at alexa. How can i do it? Thank you
How to make scanning and wifi connectivity work like with sonof, via a button, instead of typing wifi and pasword directly into the code? Thank you
Can we do the same thing with Google Assistant ??? If it's possible, may you show me the way please ??
So many smart words
exit status 1
Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module).
error shows up ,,,guide me through this.
So cool
How long did it take you to learn to write sketches for Arduino? I've purchased 10+ arduinos, 4yrs and still I've not written 1.
Are you using 3.3v to control a 5v relay?
Would this work with Google Home? If not, please make a video for a Google Home alternative.
It should be discoverable like any other smart device. So you should be sync it with Google Home as well.
Yes it´s doable, ive done it with blynk. There are good tutorials on youtube
@@Grensom Thought as much, thanks. 😃
You did well, but the best program for this device is Tasmota, which is fantastic. With Tasmota, you can switch on the light from a physical switch on a wall, from your PC or phone, or through voice commands via Alexa.
I'm looking for an Alexa device that's essentially just a switch that Is shorting a circuit without supplying any power to whatever it is shorting, can I use this device for that or is there something better for this? (Thinking about to use it to replace the power button on my pc). - (just because)
Hey bro..i finally finished my pir sensor project succsflly..aftr 2 days work...btw how much would this total project cost??
Cost aprt from buying alexa ...
Anyone know what all of this channel is about? Like what school should i go to to learn all kinds of these stuff and do projects like this. (General subject of it?)
So i realize the video is somewhat old, it does howerver involve NodeMCU ESP chip, but in your Alexa TV controll video the code doesnt work (anymore?). Basically the 'fauxmo.onMessage()' command doesnt exist in the library anymore. I found a Forum page saying 'onMessage' has been replaced with 'onSetState' but that doesnt seem to work either. Other people in the comments of the video had this issue too and it seems to be unanswered. Would really like to get this working.
You may be thinking of my other video - this video does not use Fauxmo Library. I made a note on my GitHub repository: " FauxMoESP has updated and no longer supports the files uploaded". Use the "NodeMCU-AlexaDevice" repository instead or watch this video as it uses a different procedure
Hello Greg! Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial. Unfortunately, the code is not compiling.
I get multiple errors ( "DynamicJsonBuffer is a class from ArduinoJson 5" & "Multiple libraries were found for "WebSocketsClient.h"), although I have already installed the libraries. Any help will be very much appreciated :) Thanks in advance!
It's because the sketch uses Arduinojson 5 but the library you installed is the 6, you can upgrade the sketch to work with the 6, or you can go to library management and install the latest arduinojson 5 version
This is cool and all but ain't it cheaper and quicker just to buy a sonoff basic and if you want more features then flash it with tasmota
Might want to check the link to your website in your description . It's giving a 404 Not Found error.
Sinric FTW!
Can this ship control more than onr relay? Like can i control 2 lights?
With an ESP8266 based NodeMCU you can control a number of things. I think you can RELIABLY switch up to 6 devices though it is possible to control more. You can control up to 15 with an ESP-32 based NodeMCU.
Could it work with Siri?
Hi Grenson, when I compiled my program, it showed:
Users/user/Documents/Arduino/libraries/arduinoWebSockets-2.1.4/src/WebSocketsClient.cpp: In member function 'void WebSocketsClient::loop()':
/Users/user/Documents/Arduino/libraries/arduinoWebSockets-2.1.4/src/WebSocketsClient.cpp:172:30: error: 'class WiFiClientSecure' has no member named 'setCACert'
_client.ssl->setCACert((const uint8_t *)_CA_cert, strlen(_CA_cert) + 1);
^
exit status 1
Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module).
Could you also tell me why you have the other board? Is that for power supply only? Do I need to supply voltage to the Node MCU while I have it plugged into my computer? Do I only need to have an extra power supply to the relay only? I'm very new to this. Any help will be appreciated.
I just wanted to let you know, that the link from your website about the project doesnt work. The website itself is online.
Next video: building a hover board that actually hovers in the air lol
Intresting, but I`m really avoiding those ways where you have to register somewhere external. I prefer to keep things in my internal network.
Use the Tasmota firmware or similar for devices like Sonoff if you wish to do that.
can ths cntrl heavy thngs like refrigerator
ydparveen depending on the grade of relay, yes. The relay he is using in this video should support up to 240 volts which should be plenty for most regions.
HI IAM UR NEW SUBSCRIBER
Can you make a video on how to make a smart mirror touch screen?
does this also work with google home?
how did you learn how to code ?
