WeMos D1 mini case - ESP8266 enclosure for wired sensor
Description
Yet Another WeMos mini case --- **Use-case** --- Making my first steps in home automation, I started with creating a sensor to read the data from my analogue water meter. This is a combination of a ESP (WeMos D1 mini clone in my case) and a LJ18A3-8Z/BX proximity sensor. While it works, I now have an ESP hanging in that closet dangling on a power wire at one end and the sensor at the other. It's intended use is for a WeMos D1 mini without headers where the sensor is directly soldered to the build (see image). While I am using it for a proximity sensor, it should work for any others sensor with a similar diameter wire, yes, looking at you DS18B20! **Build your own** --- While there are plenty of cases around it's always a nice exercise to build something from scratch so here we are. The aim was: * friction fit sensor cable * snap-in lid and base-plate * hole to screw it to the wall * printable on my entry level printer with standard settings So basically I just wanted something I can snap together without further nuts and bolts. First time poster, let me know if you find this useful and share your makes!!
