Hello again everyone. I think I am just about the point where I give up on this experiment and move on to something else. I cannot for the life of me ...

@davee So I have managed to get a few minutes to change the power over to 3.3v for the switches and to pin 16 of the 165. I have changed the MC (ESP3...

@davee thank you so much for your post. I have been feeding the buttons and therefore the 165 and input pins of the ESP with 5v. I will make the re...

I verified over the weekend that each button is sending volts to the 165 and each one is. I also managed to resolve the above situation, where, when p...

@byron Hi and thanks for your thoughts on this. I have added the pullup to the VCC and Data Pin since the fritzing was drawn up and even changed the b...

Hi @ruplicator and thanks for your input. In my OP, removing the 2 red LED's does not change the result. I put them there to verify that I was actua...

@joelyddon The moisture sensor modules were bought off Amazon from A-ZDelivery () and are the fairly generic resistive type. I made a longer probe f...
