esp8266-button

Software which runs on a esp8266 and publishes a MQTT toppic which can be used for different purpouses. I myself use it to toggle my flat in a state where I'm sleeping in the evening and that I'm awake in the morning an Home Assistant so it can automate different things accordingly.

Getting the code

git clone https://github.com/jeena/esp8266-button.git

Setup

Open the espbutton/espbutton.ino file in the Arduino IDE.

It expects the credentials for your WiFi and MQTT in the file like this:

#define ssid "myssid"
#define password "mypass"
#define mqtt_server "example.com"
#define mqtt_port 1883
#define mqtt_user "user"
#define mqtt_password "passwd"
#define topic "sensor/sleeping"
#define topic_content "toggle"

Change the credentials so it matches your wifi and MQTT credentials. You may also change the topic if it makes sense for you.
