Apple HomeKit + ESP8266/NodeMCU | Fully functional 3 Gang Switch | Super Easy WiFi Configuration

[@tnq22]

Thank you and Happy New Year!

[@MrJose9270]

great project, I added led light to the switches as pilot loight. There is a problems though..... when disconnected from the power, Homekit does not recognizes the accessories anymore ...... Please help

[@syncbytetube]

Yes, many came through this problem and posted the solution in the comments. The answering comment is pinned

[@rick6367]

Man, I searched for something like this for months! And tried it myself.... 😅 Hope you show more accessories.

[@syncbytetube]

Sure bro! stay tuned!

[@rick6367]

​@@syncbytetube I have the problem that when I restart the ESP, neither the buttons work, nor does homekit find the bridge. Even the 15s press a button to configure wifi does not work. The only thing that helps is to re-flash the ESP and delete the existing bridge from HomeKit and configure a new one again.

Great job! Is it possible to increase the time to 12 seconds to access the settings?

[@DanielGarcia-fv5vq]

Muy buen proyecto, lo unico que al desenchufar el accesorio, no se queda registrada la SSID y la PASWORD, como lo soluciono para no tener que conectar a la red wifi cada vez que lo desenchufe?

[@User-gjosgrknchsk]

it really works! thanks bro!

[@AppleshopBAS212502]

Could I use esp32 without any modification!?

[@hassanahmad9597]

Should esp8266 and the phone be on the same network?

[@ankitrana007]

This is so good, does it work with Home Assistant too ?

[@cooljey86]

Hello, is there a way to do a momentary instead of ON/OFF switch ?

[@syncbytetube]

you mean like a rotary switch?

[@cooljey86]

@@syncbytetube push switch (Inching). Currently, you have it set up as ON/OFF via the push button. When push to ON, OFF when release. I only need a single button

[@ТимофейМалахов-п2я]

@@cooljey86 it is already uses a momentary switch. The "on"/"off" state is being stored in the board memory and changes in that state are being reported to the homekit

[@ollidecker]

hmm the reconnect worked, but i have another issue. after several hours it says 2disconnected" in serial, it reconnects and after that it has zero homekit clients...?!

[@MalagutiLM]

I flashed with all the right settings but it won't enter setup mode, even if I directly connect gnd and pin4 (5 or 6) for 15 seconds

[@UmarQureshi-dt2nq]

same issue, did u find any solution?

[@UmarQureshi-dt2nq]

Thanks for such a great project, hope to see more like this. However, as like many others, i could not get it to enter in setup mode. I did not attach any leds or switches, and just connected the GND and D6 pins through jumper wire for 15 sec. Should i complete the circuit with leds and switches and then retry?

[@pradeepshetty9582]

me too facing same issue. anyone have solution

[@pradeepshetty9582]

compare program pins and drawing pins. its wrong as per video. i solved this issue. interchange wires for light and switch

[@swan-silk]

Hi… I’m trying to add a smart Wi-Fi switch based on ESP8266 via homebridge to apple HomeKit. Is there any possibility of helping me since I’m unable to get it to work.

[@syncbytetube]

Hi, how far have you done the setup?

[@elvispurdescu8257]

hello, help me with a problem if it is disconnected from the power after it does not automatically connect to wifi

[@syncbytetube]

it should connect, check wifi signal strength

[@alimousad9638g]

hi bro where app in used for remote

[@syncbytetube]

You can use apple home itself to control the lights, no separate app is needed

[@estebanneorenfranco732]

hi😀 can i use a nodemcu v0.1 for this proyect?

[@Petr.L]

hi, is it possible to modify the code for 4 switches? possibly 3/4 switches and thermometer? Thank you ✌️

[@syncbytetube]

Yes possible

[@anjithkuttyil5523]

i can add number of switches and light in code right?

[@syncbytetube]

yes my friend

[@anjithkuttyil5523]

@@syncbytetube thanks bro.i only need to change in 'accessory' and 'switch' code right

[@divyeshahir5852]

For making this how much cost?

[@fredfresnoza1982]

Can you use siri to activate the switches?

[@syncbytetube]

yes

[@AdorBD]

Hi bro! Thanks for this awesome Switches! But I need some help. I uploaded it to my ESP8266. But I didn't add any buttons. That's why, I connect G with D5 for 15 sec or sometimes more but the setup mode was not opened! Did I do anything wrong?? If setup mode is turned on does it display something on the serial monitor?? For the record, I already added: " WiFi.reconnect();". Thank you again! If possible make a new video with setting up relay modules for 4 gangs switch.

[@pradeepshetty9582]

am also facing same issue. did you found solution

[@gavoelpapi]

bro muchas gracias funciono a la primera

[@syncbytetube]

You are welcome bro!

[@kaniduperera7681]

is this work only in local area network ?

[@fredvanderreijden8759]

Works locally. With iPad Pro as HUB it is possible to connect via iCloud outside your own network. The iPad must then remain in contact with the accessory at home. The iPhone and iPad must have the same Apple ID.

[@elbenki1]

More examples please!

[@melon5562]

Can u write this in esp32?

[@syncbytetube]

Sure will do soon!
