Sensor Logging

IR Remote + Temp + Humidity

I bought a bunch of Tuya IR/Temp/Humidity sensors from AliExpress. I put one in each of these rooms:

My Room
Wife's room
Living Room
Garage

I can use the Android Tuya Smart app to control my Mitsubishi AP Series air conditioners (very cool!). I can even control them from outside the house, so I can heat/cool the house on the way home.

I use LocalTuya to read the sensors and log to Home Assistant.

Logging is done into InfluxDB (since the default HA implementation nukes entries after 14 days), and is visualised using Grafana.

Wifi Battery powered sensor

I also got a portable battery operated Sensor that I put in my bathroom. I was planning on putting one in my ceiling cavity to monitor temps there (and perhaps put a fan in there - my ceiling is tiles so adding in airflow + a smart power point could help with temperatures in summer.

Inkbird IAM-T1

I was also able to integrate the Inkbird IAM-T1, by using an ESP-C3 Super mini. This involved installing ESPHome Builder and flashing an ESP-C3.

I followed this guide.

Now I can grab CO2 levels in 5 minute increments. It also does temperature/humidity in 5 minute intervals, which is much more often than the above Tuya Wifi units.

Note that when you follow the guide, you'll get error messages every 2 seconds as it polls/receives from the unit until it succeeds (once every 1/5/10 minutes it won't error).

I enabled web host so you can debug it via it's ip address on port 80.

I used my 3d printer to print a small enclosure
