    Welcome... to Chicken Park

    You should probably explain that both Earl Gray and Gandalf the Gray are so named for their gray feathers.

    Favorite Food!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Man I don't know. So many to chose from. I made some sesame chicken chinese food for dinner tonight. Deep fried the chicken, then in a wok did sugar snap peas, peppers and mushrooms. Added the chicken and some sesame sauce. Meatloaf is a solid choice.

    Do barred rock need bigger nesting boxes than normal?

    I used milk crates for my boxes. You can find them super cheap on Facebook marketplace. I think I got mine for $5 a piece.

    Do you think BigFoot is real??

    I mean, I didn't SEE anything. But I also don't know of anything in Ohio that runs on two legs crashing through the woods and smells like....whatever that smelled like. Deer don't crash through underbrush like that. I thought at first it was the neighbor, he'd been caught stealing game cams a...

    Do you think BigFoot is real??

    Yes. About 5 years ago I was going hunting. My tree stand was about mid way up a really steep hill on a friends property. He lives way out in the middle of nowhere and his property shares a boarder with a huge state forest and then with thousands of acres owned by a paper company for timber...

    Automated chicken coop door using an ESP32 chip and a cheap battery powered door.

    Would be pretty simple to add 2 buttons that go to two of the GPIO pins and when it receives 5v on the pin it opens or closes the door. DM me and we can work on the code together, because I was going to work on the same this coming week.

    Automated chicken coop door using an ESP32 chip and a cheap battery powered door.

    Well you defined 3 pins in your YAML file. You need to connect those 3 pins to the motor driver. And you need to connect the motor driver to the motor, and to power.

    Automated chicken coop door using an ESP32 chip and a cheap battery powered door.

    In the ESPHome config, it should show up as a device. Then the buttons should be entities. And if you click on the device you should see the entities you can control. (and just to be clear, that "fingerme" automation is for a fingerprint sensor I'm working on). Your code has the buttons...

    Go to settings -> Devices You should see your new ESP device under the "discovered" section. You still need to add it to your Home Assistant.

    This is some sort of spacing or tab issue. YAML is space sensitive.

    Automated chicken coop door using an ESP32 chip and a cheap battery powered door.

    Ok, cool. So it sounds like you know what you are doing, then. I'm not sure how you have that PC configured, but FYI if you have Home Assistant installed via docker, you can't install add-ons, because those are actually using docker within Home Assistant. I run Proxmox on my server and then run...

    Automated chicken coop door using an ESP32 chip and a cheap battery powered door.

    Um...I reached into my big bag of old power supply bricks that I keep around and looked for one that put out 5 volts. Then cut the end off and used a multimeter to figure out which wire was + and which was -. Do you have a Home Assistant server setup? You'll need that to use ESPHome...

    Automated chicken coop door using an ESP32 chip and a cheap battery powered door.

    Sure. So I used an ESP32 chip. There are tons of versions of it out there and any of them will work. I think I used a C3 version, if I'm not mistaken. But here is a link to amazon to a 3 pack. https://www.amazon.com/ESP-WROOM-32-Development-Microcontroller-Integrated-Compatible/dp/B08D5ZD528...

    Automated chicken coop door using an ESP32 chip and a cheap battery powered door.

    There are tons of zigbee or Zwave thermometer and other sensors. I have Zwave for stuff that I can't plug in, eg, my door locks are zwave. garage door tilt sensor is zwave. But for stuff I can plug in that doesn't have to move, I use a wifi based solution. a ESP32 chip with a BME280 sensor is...

    Coop camera

    I'm actually working on doing this! I am waiting on some electronics to come from an order I put in with aliexpress. I'm using an ESP32 chip, it has a bunch of I/O pins, has wifi built in, and is super easy to program with ESPHome to talk to Home Assistant. I made a post about making a wifi...

    Automated chicken coop door using an ESP32 chip and a cheap battery powered door.

    I looked at a bunch of automatic coop doors, and none of them met my needs. I realize this might be over some folks heads, but I thought I'd post it and maybe someone else will see it and it will inspire them to make it even better. I use a server at my house called Home Assistant...
