"Failsafe" ESPHome Fireplace Controller

John McManigle

When asked what smart switch to use to control their gas fireplace, you see a lot of replies "do you want to be one software bug away from your fireplace turning on?" Granted, modern gas fireplaces have safeties in place to prevent un-lit open valves, runaway heating, etc., but some people would still rather have a hardware switch standing between them and fire. This project aims to be the best of both worlds: by running 5v power to the low-voltage switch box holding my fireplace wall switch (in my case, this involved pulling 5-conductor thermostat wire using the existing 2-conductor wire), you can power an ESP board running ESPHome. By running the actual thermostat switch signal through both a DPST and a (ESPHome-controlled) 3v relay, we can be sure that the fireplace is only "active" if the manual switch is turned on.

Rhino amateur creates a single-span model

Note: Since Rhino is unable to properly loose offset single-span degree 5 surface and creates chaotic output surfaces, I used an old “hack” with using the hugely underappreciated “MoveUVN” tool to offset the control points instead. That results into almost flawless loose offset surfaces that need just a few touches to maintain their tangency along the border.

Super hack to create hollow objects for 3d printing in Rhino

Bobi

0 0 Beginner
This is a quite easy “hack” how to create hollow objects that are usually not allowed by other CAD programs. Great for 3d printing. Simply connect the outer and inner objects via some random pipe or box, then join everything and untrim the hole that connects them with the ! _Untrim tool. You will notice that the two original separate objects now appear as a single object instead, despite the lack of an actual connection in-between. An alternative way is to select both objects and use the following commands: NonManifoldMerge, then CreateRegions, then delete the region you do not want, such like the core inside the sphere in this particular example.

Orient objects with "Remap CPlane"

The ! _RemapCPlane command lets you orient (and copy) an object across already saved CPlanes. This is especially useful for situations where the goal is to be able to quickly place copies of the same object(s) onto another CPlane, such like placing a home door in a closed and an opened positions using the CPlanes as a reference. An alternative method is to use the ! _Orient3Pt command, though it will require to manually pick 3 reference points followed by 3 target points for every time you need to orient new objects. This is where the ! _RemapCPlane command unleashes its full potential as it only requires two (or more) saved CPlanes initially, then every next copy-and-orient operation happens by double-clicking on the target CPlane listed in the "Named CPlanes" pop-up window.
