I have found great articles/blog about [Home Control using NR + ESP8266 written by Peter Scargill](https://tech.scargill.net/home-control-2018/)  
I was trying to follow him with the Thermostat project, which was kind of pain to me (mainly because I don't have enough of knowledge).  
You can find my experiences in the comments below the Peters [Thermostat–the 2019 updates](https://tech.scargill.net/thermostat-the-2019-updates/#comment-52806) article about NR thermostat.  
While attempting to insert the NR flow code from my clipboard here, I have discovered it is over the limit  
(Body is limited to 32000 characters; you entered 49245.). How to put the code here? I am trying to attach it to this post as a txt file.

I know what you mean, a bit of a pain but there for good reasons I know.

The best approach is probably to publish as a flow on the flows site (you need a GitHub login to publish a flow). Then you can link to that from here.

Many people is recommending to use [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/). Works well.

The flows site links to the equivalent GitHub capability. It has the benefit that the community can see what you've done more directly than pastebin.
