I programmed the #M5Tough ready for #ESPAltherma. A bit of a challenge, but the GitHub owner helped me. It is on the network and MQTT sees it in Home Assistant. All I am missing is the heat pump 😀. Progress at least.
I am hoping to start to play with my M5 Tough over the weekend. At least get it programmed. The cabling is a bit simpler than I thought. I need to find a way to weatherproof the cable, but I am not sure how to do that. The connection at the bottom is an M12. I have ordered some of these, but the cable needs to be something. Not sure what that would be called.
My m5Stack Tough and the parts I need to start my ESPAltherma project will arrive today. I will have to test it on Mum’s heat pump as mine is still in the planning permission stage.
The #HomeAssistant side should be ok, but I am very wary of how to make the cable. I have had some good advice in other forums. I am likely to try the M5Stick-Plus-2 option as I have had more advice on that one.
@ChrisWarwick I am not sure. Funnily enough Mum is not the Home Assistant type. There is an app for the system. SpeakToTheGeek on YouTube is going to cover his Home Assistant setup.
