Hi Rob, these videos are great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. If possible, it would be helpful to see the actual install of your projects so we can get an idea of how to mount them and the final appearance.
@@corbinkappler4631 That is a great idea but I have not perfected a mounting method yet. I am using plastic electrical boxes for the esp32 etc. Sometimes I use a glue gun to mount the components but I am not convinced. I am stilll researching a good all round method.
The ESP32 has 2 I2C channels. So it can have 2 devices like the INA219 with the same address. So for each pump include a id definition like this: i2c: id: bus_a sda: GPIO21 scl: GPIO22 ... and then in the sensor definition you reference this particular device by adding i2c_id: bus_a ... If you want to add more than 2 pumps you will need to change the INA219 address. See my website for more info on how to di this: smartboatinnovations.com/ina219-voltage/
Deleting and reboot did the trick,big thx Dave
Great explanations. Thanks!
Rob, thank you for another outstanding video and a very useful boat monitoring feature 👏. This will be my first project in Spring. (From Seattle)
Thank you 👍
Love it. Thanks!
Legend! Thank you!

Great video but could you zoom in a bit closer on the components. Would you put it into a plastic box?
Good point. I will zoom in more in my next video. Yes put it in a plastic box. Then it is more protected and you can mount it.
Rob, just a follow up question: What is the additional wiring connection and Yamal code, if one has more than one bilge pumps? Thank you.
The ESP32 has 2 I2C channels. So it can have 2 devices like the INA219 with the same address. So for each pump include a id definition like this:
i2c:
id: bus_a
sda: GPIO21
scl: GPIO22
...
and then in the sensor definition you reference this particular device by adding
i2c_id: bus_a
...
If you want to add more than 2 pumps you will need to change the INA219 address. See my website for more info on how to di this:
