Great, I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I also have a mini-ecosystem of Python scripts to communicate with the sensors over serial and to read values, etc. I'll post that as well.

Great! :). Will be refreshing /new/ tomorrow.

Hmm, it looks like I open-sourced most of it a while ago (way to go, past me!):

I'll write up the details, but this is a good chunk of it.

I JUST started this exact functionality to communicate with a wireless scale, thanks for sharing!

You're welcome, I'm working on some NodeMCU-based designs now, with IR as well.

So, where's the Show HN? ;).

Man, I spent all day yesterday trying to reimplement the sensor for the ESP8266, as I thought it would be better to have it report over MQTT, but the damn thing keeps crashing in seconds. I literally cannot keep it working for more than a few seconds, no matter what I do.

I'm pretty disheartened, I'll try some more and either succeed or go back to an Arduino over serial... Do you have any experience with making it not crash?
