The EdgeZ Home Assistant App runs a wakaama lwm2m server with HA MQTT discovery enabled, so when the device is connected, it will present automatically on UI, and you can change settings for the sensor directly in HA dashboard

The app can be found here. GitHub - edgez-ai/home-assistant-app: home assistant app for edgez devices · GitHub

The firmware for sensor device can be found here. It provider common sensor connectivity through i2c, uart, GPIO, leveraged by Lua drivers. So you don’t need to always flash new firmware to support new devices.

If you are interested in developing new driver for your own sensor, you can have a look at our sdk . We provide standard rest api to talk to your sensors, and the same lua code can run on your computer and on device.

If you are interested welcome to have a look at it. Basically it’s completely different concept of the future IoT. And it’s leveraging Wifi Halow to extend your HA setup up to 1-2km. Here we are making the solar powered Halow Node as a product.

Disclosure: The codebase is programmed with help of Vibe coding (Github copilot)

Add-ons have been renamed to Apps some months ago now, and the continued use of the term Add-on for new software is confusing users.
Also if you used AI or other sources to help write this, that should also be disclosed here.

Thank you so much for your tips Sir_Goodenough. I will fix the naming right away. For AI part, it’s not started yet, the sensor data and images are foundation of AI. when people are willing to share their data to my cloud platform (Cloud feature is disabled by default in HA app), then we can share trained model in HA app to provide prediction and anomaly detection.

By the way, we are also developing a Solar node with Heltec HT-HC33 inside, and provide I2C/UART/RS485(Modbus RTU) interface with waterproof connector and 5V power supply, will start selling middle of April.

I am saying if an AI helped you write the code base, you need to disclose that in the post. Like vibe-coding or whatever.
Having the final code interact with AI to do things is not a problem.

Sure, I already added disclosure in the post. but to be honest, I feel now mostly coding = vibe coding already :sweat_smile:
