This part can be easily replaced by another home auomation solution.\n\n## Known issues\n- Light reading doesn't work, it seems to be an hardware issue\n- Coming back from deep sleep is not properly handled, probably a software issue. It has no impact at this stage thought\n- The current consumption never goes below 40mA, thus making it unsuited for low consumption\n- The program might get stuck if there's a (even temporary) wifi connection issue. As such there's a timer-based software watchdog logic to restart the device \nwhen this happens.\n\n## Getting started with it\n- Install the [USB to serial driver](https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers)\n- Install the [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)\n- Setup the [ESP32 board](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/docs/arduino-ide/boards_manager.md)\n- Install the [DHT sensor library for ESPx](https://www.arduinolibraries.info/libraries/dht-sensor-library-for-es-px)\n- In the Aruino IDE, in tools,\n  - Select the matching serial port in the IDE (`/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART` on Mac Os X)\n  - Select the board type \"ESP32 Dev Module\", the programmer \"AVRISP mkII\"\n  - Load the folder of this repository\n  - Build \u0026 Start the upload (CMD+U)\n  - Press the \"boot\" button for a few seconds\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffclairamb%2Fhigrow-esp32","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffclairamb%2Fhigrow-esp32","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffclairamb%2Fhigrow-esp32/lists"}
