the brown things are heating pads that i control via a WION electric outlet
the black cat crawled into my lap one summer and started having kittens on my lap… she has been with me since… before that time she spent a cold winter in an earlier version of the cat shelter and i fed her every day

Looks like a fire extinguisher, maybe it pops and lets CO2 out? I can’t imagine foam/water is a good idea with the electrics…
The pin numbers in this bit of code are all messed-up, which makes it a bit confusing as D3 is referenced here as Relay_2
But D3 is actually GPIO0 which is referenced as TRIGGER_PIN:
and is used to call Wi-Fi manager in void setup…
I still think there’s some Wi-Fi Manager related code missing, but @Kimberly_Reck says that it’s working well.

Please edit your post and add triple backticks at the beginning and end of your code so that it displays correctly.
Triple backticks look like this:

that looks like 3 periods and didnt work
It’s not three periods.
I’ve provided you with the correct backtick characters, all you have to do is copy and paste.
Pete.
and i copied and pasted those
didnt work
they look like periods… what are the ascii values?
… AHH!!! 29 freaking years in computing… acute , grave , grave accent , left quote , open quote the thing shared with a tilde… NEVER HEARD OF BACKTICK! must be a mac user thing… sigh

Ive migrated all my widgets over to a local server as my bought energy and apps all went poof on the cloud server.
nothing i wanted to spin up in a day but the server is on an old RasPi 2 and is doing fine.

If you’re still running your Legacy local server, have you upgraded to the latest version?…
I guess this will probably be the last legacy update.
