Hello! it is interesting that you mention OpenWRT in this context. Early in the cycles regarding OWFS one of us got it to work on an appropriately configured WRT54GL router. That meant following a website's instructions to open the rig and find and attach to it the two serial ports it needs to

I'll throw in my $0.02 too... I was of the opinion that it would be awesome to have an owserver implementation for the ESP, but now that supercheap Linux SBCs such as the Orange Pi Zero, Nanopi Neo, etc are available, it's hard to make that argument based on hardware cost, especially if you

Agreed on all of this. Even eMMC is susceptible to FS corruption due to no protection of the write cycle at unexpected power down. It is an issue that needs to be addressed. Meanwhile, my micros just don’t ever die. Even if they do, i can preconfigure one, throw it in the mail, and it’s a

Quite an interesting discussion, please forgive me if I throw in my 1cent. We should not forget that normal RPis are educational boards, not meant for professional use. OS on a SD is a terrible idea, with regard to card corruption, but at least it is *impossible* to brick your board. Something

I have been using Pi's since they started and yes, I have had multiple SD failures.  I now run mine from hard drives which I have recovered from dead laptops.  The new Pi's can be set to boot from a hard drive, the older ones you still need an SD but it is only used at boot to redirect to the

Have look at the Sonoff devices and compatibles, which can be flashed with the Sonoff-Tasmota s/w which is super flexible. There is a huge variety of devices available. Colin On Thu, 21 Feb 2019 at 04:12, joep wrote: > > Hi All, > > To some extent this follows from thread: Reliability and
