Stay away from Arduino, go for ESP32!

I have a few Olimex ESP32-POE boards running ESPHome and they work great,

Ethernet 433MHz gateway with ESP32-POE (using ESPHome)

In my other post, I mentioned using ESP32-POE as a hard-wired alternative to the standard Wifi-based ESP8266 and ESP32. I’ve been getting more and more 433MHz devices at home, so wanted to set up a 433MHz gateway to handle sending / receiving codes via RF. I ended up implementing this using the Olimex ESP32-POE, along with a 433MHz receiver (RXB6) and 433MHz transmitter (STX882). My overall goal was to use this 433MHz gateway within HA to send RF codes to our fireplace, as well as receive code…

Ethernet IR Blaster with ESP32-POE and Broadlink RM Mini 3

Hi all, Just wanted to share a fun project I recently worked on. I’ve become a big fan of the ESP32-POE as I’m trying to get as much of my home automation running on Ethernet as possible. We actually have our Wifi router programmed to switch off during the night (request from one of our famliy members to reduce EMF during sleeping hours) so the Ethernet version of the ESP32 has become of great interest. To control our Toshiba Split system air conditioner, I’d been using a Broadlink RM Mini 3 a…
