Thanks jdarnell! This video is not very popular, maybe because the topic is quite complex: you need to get several things right: Node-Red and MQTT server running, and make your ESP connect and communicate correctly. I use this type of setup now at home for all my lights, it works quite good. I only have some problems with connectivity in one room, I will try to improve WiFi reach with an external antenna (IPEX connector on ESP32S or just solder it). There are tutorials showing software teaks, but I did not get too much results form than....
@@smartpowerelectronics8779 I am going to use Node-Red for a smart raised-bed garden setup together with rain barrels for harvesting water for it. Your excellent instruction is helping me get started so I don't have to hard wire all my own controls. It will also enable wifi controlling of the garden which my family will find convenient. Thanks again for everything! :)
Thank you for this bright explanation. I looked at it in Thailand but my 'like' does not increase the counter... Msijn hartelijke dank voor deze mooie uitleg, Peter
Thank you! For access outside your home network you will need to change the settings of your router ("port forwarding") though I did not try that myself.
You are fast! Just uploaded! It is quite a information-packed video, please use the Video Timeline with commands and links as a checklist. Any questions or errors pls let me know. Have fun!
You are right😅 So you need to buy another PC, e.g. a 2nd Hand Intel Atom PC: Toshiba NB255-N250 10.10" Laptop Intel Atom N455 1.66Ghz CPU 2GB 240GB HDD - 30 US$, half the price of Raspberry pi zero W - 59.99 US$ 🙃
Thank you very much for your very clear explanation.
UR welcome Fernando, basically just logged my journey to a working MQTT setup in a video 🙂
Such an informative delivery!
You rock the damn house!!! 🙂 I liked, subscribed and really appreciate this super informative video. Thanks!!

thank you really much, this is a big work and it save my a lot of time. My boss is happy !
Good to hear that 🙂 it is a lot of work, but not a popular video...too complicated?
Super ! Thank you for the project.
My pleasure, the video is not very popular, seems to complicated?
Thank you for this bright explanation.

Hoi Peter, mooi te horen dat het duidelijk was, alles bij elkaar is het erg veel informatie ;-)
Amazing, accurate explanation, works great, thank you!
How do I interface outside the local network?
Is there a mobile app for using it?
Thank you! For access outside your home network you will need to change the settings of your router ("port forwarding") though I did not try that myself.
can you do this in kicad
Can we control LED from any where in the world
This is possible but you need to do "port forwarding" in your internet router. The setup I showed only works in the local network.
@@smartpowerelectronics8779 Wouldn't be better to set up public ip adress ?
👍🙏

Now all you need is to forever keep your Windows Laptop on lest your home automation fails. 😀
