Kernel BobAaaurgh! I just spent several hours debugging ESPHome configuration to figure out why Wi-Fi stopped working. The answer is that the antenna was right next to the 1-Wire data line in my rats nest construction. Now they're six inches apart (15cm) and everything is semi-happy. (Wi-Fi signal is weak in my office so not full-happy.)<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ESPHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESPHome</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AlwaysTheLastPlace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlwaysTheLastPlace</a>

Kernel Bob<a href="https://techhub.social/@3dprinting" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@3dprinting</a> This morning I soldered the FilaBilly dehumidifier PCB. I need to crimp up some connectors, reprint the orange standoff/surround (it's like 0.3mm too tight), and finish the firmware. Then it'll be system testing time! I already know the ESP32 boots, either from USB or 12V power.I found out about r/PrintedCircuitBoard yesterday, so I'll ask for a PCB review there, even though the board is assembled.🧵 23/N<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/FilaBillyHumidor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FilaBillyHumidor</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/OSHPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OSHPark</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/KiCad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KiCad</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ESPHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESPHome</a>

Daniele Verducci 🧉I'm dipping my toes in <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/esphome" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#esphome</a> reading the documentation, and it's awesome! It supports an huge quantity of <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/sensors" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sensors</a>, the data read from the sensor can be filtered and manipulated, it supports a lot of <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/displays" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#displays</a> and <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/graphic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#graphic</a> libraries! It is extremely well integrated with <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/homeassistant" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> as it's the main use case. It's very flexible! I can see how I could do other little projects with this, but unfortunately it seems not to expose a standard REST Api... They say the native API "is based on a custom TCP protocol using protocol buffers. You can find the protocol data structure definitions here: api.proto A Python library that implements this protocol is aioesphomeapi.", so I should be able to interface with it, but it isn't very interoperable (and it probably isn't meant to be)...

Santiago Lema :amiga:So my much-hated Ring 2 doorbell just plain died and I thank it for it as it forces me to finally change it.In emergency I built a small button + buzzer simple doorbell with an ESP32 running <a href="https://masto.lema.org/tags/ESPHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ESPHome</a>.
