I have learned a lot by following and searching other peoples posts on here. - Thanks to all
I've also learned a lot by looking at other forums eg NodeRed, Letscontrolit and of course good old "Google".
I know that the "Brag Board" and "How do I" forums are intended to offer a chance to share that knowledge but I wonder if it would make sense to include a slightly different structure so that in addition to being able to post a "How do I do that" question we also have a way to post "This is how I did that"
For example I am now beginning to feel that I have an OP system which works pretty well. In addition to the core OP stuff (which I dont have the skills to contribute to directly) I have configured wireless ESP8226 senders which measure battery voltages, tank levels, and environmental data and sends it all as MQTT over wireless NodeRed. I have done lots of reading and experimenting to get to this point (which has been fun) but I cant help but feel that if Id been able to read someones "How I did that" notes it would have helped.
I dont want to post my experiences in a Brag Board post as I dont think Im ready to "Brag" about my setup but I would happily post some notes under a topic of "Tank level measurement options" for example
Have I just got too much time on my hands or is this worth a try ?
