The relay module should be controllable by an ESP8266 board. You power it via 5V from the esp board and use a 3.3V gpio pin to trigger it. It‘s not actually really specified to get switched by 3.3V instead of 5V but it should work. The think you struggle with right now is not voltage, it‘s current. ...

See the shematic: As far as I know there is no debouncing happening anywhere. You need to do it yourself.

You need to use an relay: https://www.instructables.com/id/WiFi-I ... 8266-Quic/

Do you have a link to the board?

Flash is typically 512 KB to 4 MB. But don‘t worry, even 512 KB are enough for starting.

Make sure that you've got everything in try/catch-Blocks.
This code: https://github.com/ThomasChr/ESP8266-re ... er/main.py
is running since 13.01.2019 without a restart.

So the ESP8266 can be very stable.

The time in the GPS is always UTC. The question is: What is localtime for you? The time module won‘t know that.
As far as I know the time module does not convert between time zones...

1. Yes, far better!
2. It has no accelerometer, you‘ve got to buy one.

Exactly
Thanks, Roberthh!

I had the same problem, could you try to use the IP Address instead of the name?

I didn‘t search for a library but I skimmed through the code of the Arduino Lib. Looks like easy I2C communication which you can easily port to Micropython if needed. Sp even without a library this is a simple task!
