Using just a D1 Mini, an ordinary N-Channel MOSFET and some 3ATIVE Magic you can make a USB Charger / Power Supply for your Wall-Mounted Home Assistant Tablet. Or use it to keep your Phone battery in top condition. Extending the life of their batteries - preventing over-charging & swelling 😎

🎁 ESPHome Code ↪ github.com/3ative/USB-Tablet-Phone-Charger
🎁 3D Printer file for the case ↪ thingiverse.com/thing:4938866

💖 I hope you like this Home Assistant setup guide for your smart home 💖

🛒 Buying the MOSFETs from Amazon is VERY Expensive. You are better to check for local or on-line retailers. I got mine from RS Components @ £0.98 each (Sold in a batch of 10).
