DIY ESPHome Scale - Get Alerts when it's time to refill!

Описание: DIY ESPHome Scale - Get Alerts when it's time to refill!

#ad Thanks to PCBWay for making my beautiful design possible !! (https://www.pcbway.com)

Since we moved into this n=house we have a water descaler, I am always struggling with refilling the salt. So I had to come up with a solution and this was a good way to further develop my skills with pcb designing and solving an everyday problem. You can use this for many other applications or make this into a is a bed occupied sensor.
