[INFO] Some ESP32 feedback

[jellewie]

Not a bug report or an issue, just wanted to give some feedback to help the README and such alone.
I do have some minor questions/bugs but I will post those separately so they can be tracked
Thanks for making this, it works well and straight out of the box for me!

I have a model with Both CN-CNT and CN-WLAN ports. The DNSK-P11 module was already installed in the CN-WLAN port.

Since I use the CN-CNT port I needed to configure "type: cnt".

I do not have 12V at the CNT connector. (it's floating)

Since an ESP32 is completely 5V tolerant, it can just work without a level shifter (The 3.3V data from the ESP is higher to the 5V than 0V on the Airco receiver side, so that also doesn't even mind it)
I just literally connected it like this to the ESP32:

I uploaded the example code, and it just worked.

The Airco now uses 0.25W more with the ESP32. The Airco + WiFi was 0.65W, and now with the ESP32 included its about 0.9W. It is of course possible to remove the WiFi module to have a lower Idle load again.

That was almost too easy - ESP32 NodeMCU DevKit C with a CN105 to Jumper Pigtail. Just connected, flashed and works instantly.
No Level Shifter - I’ll report back should the 5V on the UART bus kill the ESP…

I have been running this ever since on both my units. No problem at all so far with the hardware.

Software I found a specific bug with my unit, but that's nothing to do with the electrical and stements above

does it still work for you?

@Lauriz7 yes this is still running flawlessly for me

Thanks to this, I just got mine up and running. Works flawlessly.
