A project log for Home automation: thermostat with ESP8266 & OpenHab

A project about Home Automation. I want to replace my old thermostat with an IoT ESP8266 + OLED 128x64 Screen + OpenHab + MQTT + Micropython

It's been a while since my last update, probably becauseI haven't doing much about this project.

The thing is that things evolve and now where I said I was using openhub, I'd say I would be using HomeAssistant, that seems to be much easier to configure, and it looks like it's becoming something like an standard for Home Automation in the DIY world.

So, apart from that change, things should be more or less the same, and the problems that were unsolved are in the same status right now. Those problems are mainly those that may ocur in an unexpected event like:

- what happens when there's an unexpected reboot?

- what if the raspberry pi stops working?

- what if the ESP8266 stops working?

and so on...

Hope this helps.
