I’ve smoked a couple of ESP boards because I accidentally grabbed a 5V UART instead of a 3.3V UART. I’ve since hidden the 5V UARTs so that I don’t make that mistake again.

Just in case anyone who might have copied/pasted my yaml from above has trouble getting it to compile after updating to todays version of ephome (2024.5.0), it just needs

tolerance: 25

either commenting out (it defaults to 25% anyway) or changing to

tolerance: 25%

I’ve also found that I had to remove a couple of the remote ‘buttons’ I had defined, to get it to reconnect to the API reliably after updating it.
I’m pretty sure I was right up against some sort of size/memory limitation before, and something about the update seems to mean that limitation’s a bit smaller afterwards.

Hello i’ve been reading all the post and i’ve seen that many of you succeed to flash a Tuya IR Blaster and work with a CB3S.
I’m just working on that and could manage to make it work as a receiver but i’m having serious troubles to make the irblaster work as a tramsmitter.

The thing is when I configure the “remote_transmitter”
remote_transmitter:

  pin:
    number: P26
    inverted: true
  carrier_duty_percent: 50%

That is enough to raise a lot the temperature of my board and also crash. I could send only one ir command sometimes but it is really unstable and I don’t know what is happening.

I alse inpected the code and I saw that here is the problem

void RemoteTransmitterComponent::setup() {
  this->pin_->setup();
  this->pin_->digital_write(false); // <<--- HERE
}

Could you please help me? Did anyone experienced something similar?

Does it definitely need to be inverted?
If that’s the wrong way round, I could imagine the IR LED(s) being on the majority of the time instead of for brief flashes.
You might be able to check this using the camera on a phone, they’ll usually ‘see’ IR OK.

If that doesn’t do you any good, which bit of the board’s getting hot & how are any IR LEDs connected?
