Yet another open door alarm.
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2016 11:53 am
Hi, I'm new to ESP8266 and Arduino in general, I've been playing around and testing, mostly based on sketchs and code found online and modifying it according to my necessities and my still very limited knowledge of the matter.
Problem:
Garage door often left open.
Idea:
Two ESP8266, ESP "A" in garage connected to a reed switch mounted on the door. ESP "B" inside the house connected to a, let's say, buzzer.
When the door opens, the reed switch activates A -> A sends a signal to B -> B activates the buzzer.
Questions:
Given that I can ping and control A from inside the house thru my wifi (easy led switch test via webserver (thru nodeMCU firmware on A), is my idea feasible?
In case it is, would two ESP8266-01 be good for the job?
I'm studying the LUA language and I'm at a very early stage in understanding the potientalities of the ESP8266 (so far I only installed, on one the two I have, the nodeMCU firmware and the mentioned test along with a couple others) so I'd also appreciate a lot to be addressed to the right learning material to turn this idea into an actually working thing.
Thank you in advance for any asnwer and suggestion.
