ESP8266 based NodeMCU remote logger for Ruuvi Gateway. Ruuvi Gateway prints all kinds of useful logs over the serial, but unless you have plugged the gateway directly into a computer or other usb host capable device, you can't really get to the logs. So, instead of that, you can solder some wires onto the gateway PCB and connect them to a ESP8266 based NodeMCU which reads the serial and forwards the messages over to a syslog server and/or MQTT. More info in this forum thread.
- Clone/download this repository
- Copy
include/config.h.exampleasinclude/config.h - Set your configuration in
config.h - Build/flash like any other PlatformIO project
- Connect the RX to the "alternative RX pin" (GPIO13, labeled D7) (alternative pins are used to avoid interference from the default RX/TX pins during boot and flashing)
- Power the NodeMCU as you wish, I used 3.3V and GND directly from the gateway
(for the logger, not the gateway)
