Exploiting low light photography with long exposure to paint in thin air using NeoPixels LED strips. Here we send real-time data using the E1.31 sACN protocol to a ESP8266 code: https://github.com/debsahu/E131_PixelPusher that displays strips of pictures over time. These bright lights are registered on the sensors of camera yielding out of the world photos!
Here we try to push E1.31 UDP data received wirelessly via ESP8266 and pushed to NeoPixel in the fastest way possible. Other projects with E1.31 support: GitHub: forkineye/ESPixelStick GitHub: Aircoookie/WLED GitHub: toblum/McLighting I also demonstrate how to setup and use Jinx!, ledfx and xLights GitHub: debsahu/E131_PixelPusher Minimalistic Async code around Async E131 for ESP8266/ESP32 ...
Here is a demonstration of using lxml for scraping a website to extract essential HTML data and pass the data as sensor to Home Assistant.

Demonstration on ESP8266 & ESP32 using SSL/TLSv1.2 two-way handshake with secured mosquitto broker. SSL is preferred way of encryption of communication between devices over the internet. Here we secure a mosquitto MQTT broker and connect to it via ESP8266 & ESP32 that do a two-way handshake. ...
Idea To convert an automatic trash can into a smart one. Hardware Automatic Trash Can Wemos D1 mini (ESP8266) 2N2222 transistor Implementation Here we use an ESP8266 to tap into the pins and emulate a physical button press. The ESP8266 uses a code as described in https://github.com/debsahu/SmartTrashCan to emulate a Wemo Switch, which is detected by Alexa/Echo device as a switch. ...
Getting one’s hands on APDS9960 is very easy, that can be used to detect hand gestures. Here we use this sensor to control lights on Home Assistant based on a gesture observed on sensor.
