I was hoping you could help me. I am looking for a solution to trigger a smart switch via a wifi api call. I have a project where I have 100 smart buttons throughout the building. they are all connected via Bluetooth to a main hub. When you click any button, it sends its unique ID to the main hub which then uses an api to send that data to a cloud database. We now want a way to send back to another device (Ideally wifi) directly to a device and trigger an event, (turn on or off a light)
I would think the solution would be based on what your main hub is. I would probably set up Home Assistant if it's possible. It's specifically designed for that type of thing. If the hub has an integration for HA, then if it can get all the bluetooth devices integrated, you can set those switches up on automations to turn other things on and off easily.
Great video, but it may not be obvious to some... DO NOT PLUG THE S31 INTO THE AC WALL SOCKET WHILE PROGRAMMING. In the video he says to plug the S31 in, but he is referring to plugging the programmer into the USB port. Its too bad he didn't show a split screen of the programmer/S31 being plugged int the computer. Also, I don't have a 3.5V programmer and I have used 5V as there are various places where you can find info stating that the ESPs are 5Volt tolerant. Take it with a 'grain of salt', but I have managed to get away with it many times with no issues.
Very well made video - I have programmed mine with Tasmota but it is essentialy the same approach - Thank you!
