# Progress This Week:
\n1. **ESP32 Setup and Expansion:**
\n– Continued setting up the ESP32, refining its configuration and stability.
\n– Started wiring components to the ESP32 on a breadboard for initial testing.
\n– Ensured reliable communication between ESP32 and Home Assistant.<\/p>\n
2. **Model House Component Selection:**
\n– Researched and decided on key parts for the model house.
\n– Selected sensors and actuators for power monitoring and automation.
\n– Planned the integration of these components into the broader system.<\/p>\n
3. **Testing and Initial Wiring:**
\n– Connected and tested multiple components with the ESP32.
\n– Began initial wiring to verify sensor functionality and data transmission.
\n– Identified preliminary wiring challenges and planned solutions.<\/p>\n
# Challenges Encountered:
\n– Verifying compatibility between selected components and the ESP32.
\n– Managing power distribution effectively to prevent overloading circuits.<\/p>\n
# Next Steps:
\n– Finalize the wiring layout and begin soldering for a more permanent setup.
\n– Expand testing with additional sensors and actuators for comprehensive data collection.
\n– Develop automation rules within Home Assistant based on sensor inputs.
\n– Continue refining power optimization strategies through real-time analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
