D1 Wemos Mini Pro with Battery Shield

[droidblast]

Solar Powered ESP gate sensor from a D1 Wemos Mini Pro with a D1 Battery shield.

All code within ESPHome for my sensor works as expected except that the D1 Shield when charging gets hot. Sensor is powered off a small Solar Panel and Shield charges 2x 18650 batteries.

ESP sensor runs a reed switch and a temp sensor DHT11 so nothing major.

Anyone had experience with similar? Sensor last for 3 days even with deep sleep enabled?

Specifications of the solar panel? 6V, 8V, 10V, 12V…? Maximum current? Specifications of your battery shield? Any pictures of wiring?

Does your deep sleep works? Logs? Yaml?

Anything?
