Hello,
i’m looking from some time for a reliable solution for a door sensor.
I’m using wemos D1 board and i’m interested in more info how to wake up from sleep the esp only when the door is opened not at a specific time interval.
I’m having pain now trying this solution https://www.instructables.com/id/ESP-01-Motion-Sensor-With-Deep-Sleep/ i replaced the PIR sensor with the door sensor … can anybody point me in a right direction pease?
Maybe some of you have a schematic or some info that could help me proceed further with my project ?
thanks in advance
Teodor

Thanks for quick answer but your tutorial doesnt have deep sleep. My main question was how can i run a door sensor in deep sleep without timer. The ESP should wake up only on door open, thanks

Hello Teodor, you’re right. I wanted to send you this project instead: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp8266-wi-fi-button-diy-amazon-dash-button-clone/
Basically, instead of a pushbutton you could connect a Reed switch that restarts the ESP when it closes or opens the door. Then, after sending the request it goes to deep sleep.
