Step 1
Setup and Configuration
- The Flash and Reset Buttons are recessed on the USB end of the GrowMore Hub. The inner button is the Reset Button and the Flash Button is to the outside. Use a large paper clip or similar diameter instrument to depress then if required.
- Power is supplied by a connected EC inline fan, connected to ports P1-P4. It is HIGHLY SUGGESTED YOU ALWAYS POWER ALL YOUR FAN OFF WHEN CONNECTING DEVICES TO THE GROWMORE HUB. Although the HUB has protections in place, the is the wise thing to do otherwise damage to the HUB many occur.
- To place on WiFi network use 2.4G phone to connect to "GrowMore Fallback Hotspot" with password "esphome1".. Once connected to your WiFi network, to access the webpage of the device browse to http://growmore.local
- Device is flashed with an exmaple ESPhome binary image that has manual control over fans and automatic control which can be enabled based the target temperature setting. Four temperature sensors control each of the four PWM fan connectors. Flashed binary image has the Home Assistant "api:" enabled with MQTT with.
- For customization, please make a request to esp32andmore@gmail.com for source code.
- Also update WiFi and MQTT server credentials as required.
- Flash over USB or ethernet. To flash over USB use ESPhome Web Flasher https://web.esphome.io/ with the device powered and connected to your host machine.
- If you did not purchase the Dallas DS18B20 temeprature sensors from us, due to a recent change in ESPHome, the DS18B20 sensor address will need to be discover and a code compilation with the device being flashed.
