Using ESP8266 to Read Digital Input Pin to Be Notified When Motion Is Detected From 24VDC Source Dev

Thanks Caleb Reiser, I luckily had a 4N35 optocoupler lying around and I was able to get it up and running! I was not aware of their function before. Super cool! I can see it being useful in many cases.One other gotcha was to add a pull-down resistor from the signal wire, to pull D1 to 0 when motion was not being detected, as it was staying high otherwise.

1. What is the most supportive running shoe from Nike?

If you weigh over 185 lbs male or 150lbs female, you are considered a heavy runner. most shoes you buy will lose their cushioning sooner, so if you are considered a "heavy runner" then you need to buy motion control/ stability shoes. I you are not considered a heavy runner, then you should get neutral cushioned shoes. For your high arches neutral cushioned shoes would be ideal.

2. Motion detecting dot it light?

Weirdly phrased, but regarding security cameras, which use a similar 'activity light', they detect minute motions, and stay on consistently

3. What Heating and Cooling company and product do I buy?

I installed ductless Daikin mini-split heat pump system for my 2400 sq foot home 18 months ago. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It is so cheap to run, keeps everything evenly warm/cool...and it's really nice to be able to keep different parts of the house at different temperatures. (My system has one outdoor compressor but three different indoodr pumps which can all be set at different settings. This can be customized and you can have up to 8 pumps if needed). It has some really cool features too. For example, it has a motion sensor so if a room is vacant it will allow itself to cool down by two degrees but if it senses motion in the room it will remain at the programmed heat. It also has a humidity control setting...great for those days when I am simmering soup stock or red sauce in January (I live in a humid climate). The entire system was $4500 installed - I own not lease. And I got a $1500 rebate from my electric company for upgrading to energy efficient system. Net cost $3000. And there is no annual maintenance or duct cleaning (it's ductless). I was lucky that the prior owner had a hot tub on the deck so when we got rid of that the we used the existing wiring to install the compressor under the deck. It's quiet. You can not even hear it sitting right above it on the deck. My worst winter electric bill for 2400 sq foot home was $150 which also includes my wife's bajillion x-mas lights. Just got my July bill and even with the AC my bill was $70. P.S. I am in USA. ETA: I've always had homes with central furnace so I was really reluctant to try the ductless thing. I will NEVER go back. I am a believer. Plus now I can put my furniture where I want it!

4. What is the best motion design app for someone who wants to get started?

Adobe After Effects. For beginner or pro, AE is a consolidated tool for motion graphics. You can learn in the future tools that will mork together in your pipeline, like 3d tools, sound design tools, but for the animation itself, AE became the standard in the industry.Since you will spend some time learnomg any tool, invest your time in learning AE and you will be already on the path. It has a lot of learning support material around the internet free or payied, like Layer Lemonade or School of Motion and tons of free tutorials over Youtube.What is the best motion design app for someone who wants to get started?

5. my car wont start please help me?

The car would not cut off while in motion because of the battery. The car runs off of the alternator once started and the battery is not even needed at all. The battery starts the car, then is being recharged by the alternator while the engine is running. Thats all that it does. If your alternator was bad then your lights would dim, the radio would cut off, and eventually the car would cut off while running but you would have likely noticed these symptoms. The smoking cable and high heat suggest that the shielding over your battery's cable(s) has deteriorated and when you turn the key, the battery is short circuiting to the frame vs. going to the starter motor. Hence, the starter does not turn because the power is not going to the starter's positive connector but rather to the frame which causes a lot of amperage through the battery cables which makes them hot and smoke from the plastic shielding burning. If the cables are good then it sounds like the engine is seized (credit to Michael) and when you send power to the starter motor and it tries to turn the seized engine but cant, the starter motor burns up generating heat and smoke. If the engine seized at highway speeds then you should have heard a bang or other noise of the bearings seizing together or a connecting rod breaking. Hence the term "throwing a rod". Check the engine oil to see if there is any. If not, the engine is possibly seized.
