Tinycore is a 23mb Linux desktop that runs in 46mb of ram. Microcore is the headless version that runs in 28mb of ram.

Hell no, sports washing their sugary crap that none of their sponsored sports people ever touch is so transparent.

Let alone the abuse and racism of the F1 team and it’s constant infighting.

The bubble popping will be the point where ai companies have to charge what it costs to run these huge models.

I had some micropython boards using mqtt to talk to HA, great for sensors, but have switched most to Esphome, it integrates easier into HA.

I’ve got a wall switch on the coffee grinder that switches off after a min, because otherwise it’s power supply humms.

I’ve got a epaper display on the fridge, battery powered that tells me what type of recycling goes out this week (uses deep sleep mode on esp to wake up every 18hrs, pull info from HA calendar to display, report it’s battery state, so we can get a mobile alert to charge it every couple of months)

A esp8266 board that’s got 6 relays, hooked up to dampers on the central air conditioning, turns on or off airflow to different rooms.

Power monitoring for the washing machine to send a voice message when the washing machine is done, using Athom Tech plugs that come with Esphome pre installed

Another athom tech plug on our electric blankets, nothing like having them automatically come on and never having to worry about leaving them on (will turn off after 3hrs after they automatically or are manually turned on)

Several accent lights using Esphome powered rgb light strips, could also use wled, but Esphome is good for this too

What are you using? The athom tech one has been great for about 2 years so far here in NZ with 240v power. And I have a very powerful Asko washer. They have a relay and non relay version, I’m on the relay one.

I’ve done the same with an automation, triggers when wattage goes over a certain value, then waits until the wattage is below 6 for 4min before sending a message. I’ve also got it choosing from a list of messages at random

He’s speaking about a previous Prime Minister of NZ. Who’s actually secular, but has some Jewish heritage through a grandmother, but was raised Anglican, but really non religious.

I have a Bluetooth beacon in my letterbox to help detect I’m coming home. It’s a bit of distance and WiFi doesn’t reach that far, so I can tell if I’m coming home or leaving based on sequence. The mobile app will report on beacons to HA

That’s one of the signs of LLM output, take any idea and have it flesh it out into short article. It’ll bullet point the crap out of it

Ikea’s line of matter bulbs and devices are showing up in stores now.

Good quality firmware and electronics at close to aliexpress prices.

Awesome to hear that! I’ve only half been paying attention to the Connect channel

Connect is good for me, don’t know what the situation with the dev is though, seems like development might have stopped

Small house, I use zigbee directly with the zbt1 and it’s great

I know some people really love home assistant, but not thaaaat much!

An esp controlling a linear actuator to either push the door open, or push against the latch locking it closed, or both.

It’s a config that lives in Esphome on your home assistant server. Esphome has a Web based editor with some syntax help. When you click update it compiles it for you and uploads it ota.

You can probably sample the data on the device at a much higher rate and send updates instantly if it’s over a certain threshold

I’ve got several of the AthomTech smart plugs, they run Esphome, and you can fork their firmware and modify it as you see fit. I’ve got one pinging a fairly unstable server and will power cycle it if it doesn’t get a response for 10min, all on device so it works without home assistant running.

Here’s it’s config, defaults to 10sec, but you can change that easily

Yeah the mic and speaker on the atom are OK if you are within 2 feet, beyond that they aren’t any good. This looks good

Yes I have tried with the tiny m5 voice hardware and it’s seriously useful. But the mic and speaker are so compromised that it only works within a few feet. I want something like the first gen Google Home device, that works from across the room, and doesn’t constantly get false positives
