Build based on ESP32 (needed more outputs than 8266 had), and the 3d-printed “back to the future”-themed clock - this is my physical dashboard to visualize current state of the solar setup at my home.
It’s still rough around the edges and I did not print labels the correct way, so don’t judge me. It’s work in progress.
Data input captured using pipsolar library (another ESP-based project where data is extracted from the inverter and translated into HA sensor variables).
I used TM1637 which apparently don’t have the decimal point exposed as they should (I checked with the vendor - only colon is there), that’s why 29U6 instead of 29.6, but it’s readable.
I learnt new things about myself while working on it. Especially when trying to figure out which GPOs are legal to use and which aren’t on ESP8266 and 32. Cool stuff. And I no longer have to stare on the screen. Now I have a cool dashboard directly under it - and it can be placed anywhere at home, working 24/7.
