Re: Project Help Pool Motor

As usually Peter you bring up some great things to consider. Please help me and correct me if my thinking is wrong. To take care of the voltage leakage I could put in a bleeder resistance AKA resistor running parallel in the load line. I think this would take care of any voltage leakage. I do want t...

Re: Project Help Pool Motor

Great idea Peter with the DS18B20. Looks like I will use these for getting water temp. I was going to use these relays SSR-25 DA 25A 3-32V DC / 24-380V AC Solid State Relay + Heat Sink I was going to mount 2 in a box to control each speed of the pump. I was wondering if I should put a small fan moun...

Re: My Devices

Thank You for your kindly advice. I check out your link and it was very useful. Sometimes it is very difficult to tell someone or a group what I am doing when I have no idea what I am doing. But I can say every day I wake up it is a learning experience dealing with these little devices. Thanks again...

Re: My Devices

With all of the responses i take it this is not supported. I would hope soon the LoT online community would embrace Micropython on an esp8266 like they have with Arduino and others. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. :D
