It's taken tinkering on and off for a few months to put together an #ESPHome device that has a CC1101 and processes RTL_433 to listen to my weather station.
Next step, find a good set of cards to add a weather station dashboard to #HomeAssistant .
I should write it up.
Ich habe den vermutlich besten Temperatursensor seiner Art für Home Assistant getestet. Seht selbst:
So with today’s thunderstorms approaching I remembered I bought a AS3935 lightning detection IC years ago but never used it.
Made a nice case for it and connected it to a ESP32-C6 and spare OLED that I still have to program.
Let’s wait for the storm and see if this will do anything usable. I doubt it.
Just wrapped up the fun challenge of reverse engineering the RF protocol of the remote control for my whole house fan.
It was a bit of a bear to figure out but once I decoded it all it ended up pretty simple.
If anyone else has a QuietCool house fan and wants to control it from your home automation check out my repo here: https://codeberg.org/thadd/quietcool-house-fan.git
Was ich idealerweise such(t)e ist nur die power stage / pwm amplifier oder wie man das nennen mag, um einen eigenen esp32-h2 oder esp32-c6 für #thread networking anzuschließen.
Habe jetzt doch einen fertigen PWM WLED-Controller mit ESP32 von BTF bestellt (und GLEDOPTO bewundert). Interessant wäre ob in den GLEDOPTO #Zigbee-Treibern ggf. so ein Thread/Zigbee-fähiger ESP32 steckt, aber dazu konnte ich nichts finden.
Ich habe hier so diverse komische Leuchtmittel:
Dimmbare G53 Retrofit LEDs
20V LED Lichterkette
Die G53 habe ich an einem 12V DC Netzteil und Zigbee PWM Dimmer. Die 20V Lichterkette läuft an einem Ikea TRADFRI Zigbee Treiber.
Da ich mit beidem nicht so zufrieden bin möchte ich Treiber mit #esphome drin bauen.
#elektronik Fediverse, gibt es empfehlenswerte Module die da schon esp32 und Mosfets etc drin haben und ich mich nur noch um die Software-Seite kümmern muss?
This week in my #smarthome microcontroller misadventures: the more I work with #espidf's #zigbee stack, the more I understand why #esphome exists. Had to write multiple hundreds of lines of device capability config code yesterday that could've very easily been a rather short json file.
Now if only esphome's zigbee support covered a bit more than the simplest use cases...
ESPHome 2026.5.0 released with new ESPHome Device Builder (beta), performance/memory optimizations
ESPHome 2026.5.0 has just been released with the beta version of the new ESPHome Device Builder web app that replaces the legacy in-tree dashboard with a real configuration editor, a firmware job queue, multi-select bulk actions, labels and areas, out-of-sync detection, cross-config search, distributed builds, and a proper settings UI. The firmware itself gains optimizations of the main loop, scheduler, and task watchdog to lower CPU and power usage on supported platforms, and a range of other memory/performance optimizations across the API, audio, and helper hot paths. The audio decoder pipeline has been improved and features new microMP3, microWAV, and microFLAC streaming libraries. OTA has also been enhanced with partition-table and bootloader updates, web-server OTA, and soft-brick recovery, and ESP32 MCUs are now handled by up to the ESP-IDF v6.0.1 framework natively, while Zigbee support has been expanded to ESP32 H2 and ESP32-C6, among other features.
