[OBSOLETE] Absolute Simplest ESP8266 Smart Blinds, no mqtt, rest, bridge, or broker, just your board and your hub

Sorry, the one I’m using is this:

[RELEASE] ESP8266 / Arduino servo controlled smart blinds

Here we go! This is a re-think of the simple smart blinds created by @C_Hobbs. The code now supports positioning the blinds, not just open and close. You can also add a switch to the blinds for those times that you just want to move them a bit manually. I used a custom designed gear box I printed on my 3d printer to connect the servo to the shaft that controls the window blind angle. This is my first SmartThings project. I will clean up this first post as time allows and I get some pictures taken. For the servo I used a $4 TowerPro clone from AliExpress model MG996. I found that the D1 Mini WeMos board fit easier in the window blind header than the NodeMCU. Both should work. The largest window I have in my house is a picture window that is about 6’ and this setup works for that. Any sma…

But there is a link in the first post here of the coupler he used.
