ESP32 water isolation
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2023 11:36 pm
Hello all,
I used to have my garden watering system controlled by an ESP32 placed in a safe dry place. But after a few years the cheap cables I used to power my 3 electrovalves have corroded.
My first attempt was to replace old cheap cabling by new quality one, but the corrugated tube seem to have a sharp corner or who knows, and the new cable is stuck in the middle of the way.
The good new is that I have 220v power line, and room for mostly anything, but it will be in poor weather conditions exposed to heat and even under water when heavy rain.
Could be a good idea buy a high quality box with isolation jelly and put inside the below? My main concern is about the heat dissipation.
-standard ESP32
-small 220v to 5v converter for powering the ESP32
-standard cheap 4 relays board
-small 220v to 24v converter to power the electrovalves
