I’ve also just got an EP1 for the living room and have been playing around with automations.
I’ve got one to turn on/off my living room lights, but also, I’ve got it set up to turn off my media centre when I’m not in the room for longer than 30 minutes.
I would love to be able to set up Bluetooth tracking of my Apple Watch/phone but looking through the documentation it looks like you can do that with ESPPresence and not with ESPHome, which is a shame.
Today, I reintergrated my Reolink cameras as I put them on a different WiFi network to make them more secure and updated my camera cards to use the frigate cards instead of the generic camera cards.
Today I looked at the GIANT pile of sensors and bits & parts I need to install, and decided tomorrow was a better day - same as I’ve done for the last month. Lol
I’ve got some to do too. Hard to get motivated when I’m moving in 6 months. I’ve got light switch installs down to less than 10 mins each. I plan to bag and tag every sensor and put them right back in the new house. “should” be pretty seamless .
Busy with work today, but managed to get another zooz scene controller installed, got all the govee local api stuff ready for my kid’s TV light (xmas),and re-did some light cards on my mobile dashboard.
Honestly, the biggest thing that has slowed down my own deployment of HA “toys” is my youtube channel. The constant need to film what I’m doing and then edit and whatnot really makes me want to not do anything until I have time to film it. With December being all about my dashboard, I’m kind of stuck there working on that, so…
My wife is getting a Roborock S8 Pro Ultra for Christmas, so I’ll have to get that added in a timely manner though, or she will be mad. LOL
As awesome of an idea as that is… She’s always home. We have a 10 month old. Lol
But again, I need to finish the dashboard series by the end of the month, so I don’t have time to mess with that thing just yet.
My channel is called Fast How To. I have a thread going here in the social section where I post links to all my videos. Still working on growing it, just hit 4100 subscribers earlier today. It’s a lot more work than I thought it would be, but I enjoy making videos and learning all the new stuff about cameras and audio & editing, so there’s that. Lol
