> This is a [NodeMCU](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010N1SPRK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that I installed in my [Cuisinart Coffee Maker](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6T5QNO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It has GPIO's connected to the indicator lights for the bold setting and power and has a couple of [relays](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057OC6D8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) connected to the bold setting button and the power button. Aside from the ability to trigger automations based on the state of the coffee maker and automate turning on the coffee maker I also added a "bloom" feature. Coffee tastes better if you let the carbon dioxide escape (bloom) after getting the coffee grounds wet before continuing the brew cycle.
> ### Fire Pit and Fountain
> This is a [WEMOS D1 Mini Pro](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G9HZ5LM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that is connected to a couple of [relays](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057OC6D8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and a couple of water proof push buttons [red](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079GNNSRP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and [blue](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079GK565N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). The multi-click config on the fire pit switch is so that any press will turn it off but to turn it on you have to press it for 5 seconds (to try and prevent kids from turning it on). This will be used to control the combination fire pit and fountain in my backyard when I am done rebuilding it. I have done some testing at my desk but this is not fully hooked up yet so there may be some bugs (winter came to fast).

The multi-click config on the fire pit switch is so that any press will turn it off but to turn it on you have to press it for 3 seconds (to try and prevent kids from turning it on). This is used to control the combination fire pit and fountain in my backyard. I just got this hooked up and is working good other then the fire pit doesn't always come on on the first try (I think I am getting some bounce in the switch but haven't had a chance to troubleshoot further).
> ### Garage Fridge
> This is a [NodeMCU](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010N1SPRK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that I have installed in the back of my garage fridge and is connected to several [temperature sensors](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012C597T0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that monitor the temperature of the compressor, the fridge, and the freezer and a pair of [relays](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0057OC6D8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that control a [heat tape](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HHB1R5S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1KEJ1ZBUGV6FW&psc=1) wrapped around the compressor and a couple of [heaters](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GXSDMR2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that are inside the fridge. This is to prevent the compressor from getting to cold (when it is cold the oil thickens up which is hard on the compressor), the fridge from dropping below freezing (frozen beer is no fun), and the freezer from getting to warm (when temperatures in the garage are around the desired fridge temperature the freezer tends to get to warm because of lack of cooling demand from the fridge so we warm the fridge up a little to get it to kick in the compressor).

> ### [SANA Triple Switch](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q5XPRKD/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3EOKYTNCLEIKH&psc=1)
> This switch will be installed in place of the switch that controls my [TREO LED Pool Lights](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTRLM5M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). These lights have the option to select different colors by briefly turning them off and back on again and they do remember the last color when turned on again. The custom light component handles tracking the current color and exposes custom "effects" for each of the colors to [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/). I went with the triple switch so that I could use the third button to control my [Patio Lights](#patio-lights) which otherwise do not have a physical switch. Note I have tested the code on a [WEMOS D1 Mini clone](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076F52NQD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but I have not installed this on the switch yet or confirmed the timings actually work with the lights yet.
