Wemos D1 Mini Presence cube by atxbyea

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

I wanted to use a D1 mini as all the presence cubes on here were using NodeMCUs and were huge, ended up making 4-5 different prototypes before I settled on a design that should fit most USB cables.
I used a 8 LED ring WS2812 from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32835427711.html
Top was printed in clear \ translucent filament
Bottom can be printed in any colour you like
Inside was printed in clear also just to make it "invisible".
I use https://github.com/isaacrlevin/PresenceLight (also avaliable in Microsoft Store) to publish status changes to WLED via API
Examples using Custom API :
Avaliable - GET - http://x.y.z.o/win&R=0&G=255&B=0
Busy - GET - http://x.y.z.o/win&R=0&G=255&B=0
Also possible to integrate in Home assistant and let the light control be done via esphome.
Example esphome config :
esphome:
name: teamskube
platform: ESP8266
board: d1_mini
on_boot:
then:
- light.turn_off: teamscube
wifi:
ssid: "ssid"
password: "password"
ap:
ssid: "Teams-Kube Fallback Hotspot"
password: "zTa3IHiNbIG8"
captive_portal:
logger:
api:
ota:
light:
- platform: neopixelbus
type: GRB
pin: GPIO3
num_leds: 8

with HA automations using webhooks :
