A lot of electrons have been inconvenienced just by this thread.

Luckily the driver behind 3 wasn’t dumb and left a big gap. After what seemed like an eternity 1 understood what to do and managed to go around 3 driving over the kerb.

Google slide was the one I had handy while on my sofa, but in principle you’re right as it’s a copy anyway.

It can’t be helped, but there’s a lot of it about

Having seen it unfold, I’d struggle to assign the blame to a single party, because they were all dumber than the others. Here is how it happened:

• 1 stopped far too early in the junction to wait for 3, which was an entirely unnecessary wait anyway (1 being dumb)
• 2 moved to the lane even though 1 was blocking them (2 being dumb) — I presume 2 did that because 3 was far away and surely 1 would make their turn well before 3 arrived at the scene
• 3 drove close to 2 and blocked 1 instead of allowing 1 to turn, thus completing the gridlock (and trifecta of dumb)

Sort of deploying the Royal Navy to sink every small boat they can find in the channel, I’m struggling to see how he would stop the boats ™ in weeks.

Nice one. What software did you put on the ESP32?

This is the way. The more we ask and answer here the better for us all.

I have not studied their API, but I would expect to find commands to start movement (open and close) and stop movement, perhaps even to move a specific amount. If the commands result in random amounts of movement the product is totally useless and no control software will help.

If the API commands work in a predictable way, then it is definitely possible to control movements accurately with Home Assistant or some other suitable software that is able to talk to the API.
