Ive had a number of these devices. And the number 1 thing that fails is the battery. It might also be where I am at. We have 110+F days that cause spicy pillows or failures after a year or so.
So I was wondering, is there a way to make a “daytime only” node that turns on where theres enough sunlight to power the thing, and then turns off where there is not enough sunlight?
I figure I could just get a 5V solar panel and hook it up directly to one of the nodes. I’m just nervous that it will under voltage the device over the long run if that makes sense.
Was just watching a video about it yesterday. I don’t think this is the link I watched but there are dozens of builds if you search YouTube.
