Adam,

Here is some advice:

fit 0.1uF capacitor across the power rails as close to the device as possible

Your boards look like they have been put together very badly just look at the wire below.

Incidentally do you mind me asking where you learnt what you know about electronics and also ESP ?

That is why the reed is now on GPIO4 not 5, the wire snapped, so to avoid remaking the whole thing, I have simply placed the wire in GPIO4, no solder, still works, not amazing I know, but this is not where the issue lies as the problems were long before this.

Thanks for the suggestion of the 0.1uf I shall be doing another setup to demo the suggestions given so far tonight or tomorrow.

A university degree and many years of practice, how about you?

My knowledge is from hitting issues and finding ways around them, mainly through Google until I found this forum, and since this forum a lot of the support that has helped me overcome issues has come from here. The boards you see are my 3rd or 4th devices ever created with ESPs so I truly do apologise that they are not up to your university standard eduction, but they are the result of a lot of hard work on my part, once I learn more, they will get better, and I understand that you have been trying to help but I have bitten my lip at the way I have been responded about somethings, not just by you. I am part of the forum to learn, dont get me wrong, but not everyone has the privilege of years of education on the subject or experience.

You are actually incorrect, the second edit as you say is a totally different post. If you are going to continue to be petty about edits then just dont reply mate.
