Had a curious #esphome / #homeassistant bug where lights kept toggling on. Seems like the solution in this thread worked
https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/3403#issuecomment-1175800572
Though it's curious why wifi sleeping would trigger a phantom button press.

All switches are connected to an #ESP32, which is connected to my #HomeAssistant over #ESPHome. I am just using a binary sensor. Like this I can do this very easily and it is nicer to integrate with lamps etc. The LED-Strip on my mic arm is powered by another ESP32 running #WLED by the way. The ESP gets its power even from the other ESP across the desk.

Return air duct booster to get all the hot dog breath out of our bedroom. 7” noctua fan. The black box contains an esp32s2, a 7805 to drop the 12v that supplies the fan to 5v the micro’s regulator can handle, a Si7021 temp/humidity sensor, and a level shifter so we can give the fan a 5v pwm signal. Allows a 300-900 rpm range for the fan. Firmware is 150 lines of yaml for #ESPhome so it can report to my #HomeAssistant setup.

I've spent ages trying to figure out why my #ESPHome devices wouldn't connect to the #Cisco AP2800s.
Mobility Express -> Wireless Settings -> WLANs -> (edit SSID) -> Advanced tab. Turn off "Client band select" and "Client load balancing".

Explanation in the 🧵 ...

Warum sind Temperatur Sensoren eigentlich immer nur read-only? Ich möchte gerne write-enabled Sensoren...

Oh, Moment... #esphome #homeassistant

Every time I do a PiHut order I add on a few extra M5Stack components.
Got an OLED display and an 8Angle working with #ESPHome to play around with.
The display is for pro-typing how I want to add a display to the #HomeAssistant Voice PE.
The 8Angle is just for testing, I like to emulate battery percentages, moisture levels etc in automations and it's great to have a tactile physical thing rather than jumping back and forth to an input number helper.

Home assistant to save my partner and I from repeating the same phrases 1000 times a day

I'm joking of course but the kids think it is hilarious

ESPHome Developers released #ESPHome version 2025.6.1. https://esphome.io/

This month's #esphome release includes native support for usb host on certain boards (S2 and S3 specifically).

https://esphome.io/components/usb_host.html

I combined that with a serial to tcp streamer and my existing Zooz 800 zwave USB hub and it works swimmingly.

Here's my working config: https://github.com/keenfamily-us/esphome-configs/commit/0195a99740e751a0157759baf17d3387a04ae1a1

I used this board: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DB1WK3CW

and a random USB-C OTG (female USB A) adapter cable

Note that to get USB OTG working you have to solder the pads on the back of the board together.

Nullstring's HX711/ESP32/Loadcell Horizontal Roller Dial for the venerable Universal Auto Rewind Spool Holder

its a drop-in replacement for the Dial component of the UARSH! Now with a new and improved base that has little spots to put the boards and an eink screen to display the weight!

This is set up through #ESPHome currently and just does the weight and e-ink display, but ultimately will also add a gpio to close/open circuits to trigger printers' filament runout circuits directly in addition to feeding weight info to #homeassistant

Quite a bit of #esphome coding later I now even got it as a climate control in #homeassistant .

Missing is in theory the timer functionality but the climate stuff cant do that anyway. So thats not going to be part of the esphome component. Tomorrow I can test it on the device then and open the PR once its working. I am sure there are still bugs... I needed quite a few goes to get the state managed as it doesnt match how esphome keeps that state... So I have a whole layer of translation.

Não é por nada não, mas ficou muito bacana! Sincroniza automaticamente com a minha agenda corporativa e indica se estou em reunião ou não :)

#esphome #homeassistant #impressao3d #3dprinting

Lembra daquele treco de mostrar se eu tô em reunião? Pois bem, tomei vergonha na cara e projetei uma carcaça aqui pra ele rapidão, a ideia é imprimir a "tampa" com filamento branco, aí o LED RGB que tem no ESP32-S3 consegue brilhar através dela :)

I wrote another thing about home automation and alarms and stuff.

This time I talk about planning a basic level of hardwired security into my apartment, and what prep work has been necessary.

О, кажуть, що деякі розробники IoT пристроїв, а саме зігбі, чомусь не заплатили вчасно туї, китайський компанії, тому їх пристрої не підключаються до екосистеми 💩 туя

Раджу навіть не дивитися на тую, чи їх пристрої. Максимум ті, котрі є вразливі до оновлень, щоб прошити вільну систему, наприклад ESPHome/Tasmota #tuya #zigbee #esphome #homeassistant #cloudfree

This thing had so many iterations that I barely recognize it anymore. But it is almost done! A night lamp turned smart card reader, turned to a smart speaker (with light), turned to an RFID jukebox, turned back to just a lamp with a card reader (RFID jukebox going to be software-defined).

People who work w/ #ESP32 #esphome etc.

What do you do while your firmware is compiling and uploading?

My workflow always feels decimated by waiting to test something...
