The ESP32-S3-BOX-3-SENOR or similar device seems like a great device for a smart clock. It could add some temperature and humidity data to HA, Bluetooth presence detection, and display information like the time, weather, etc. Its display could be dim/off until it detects a user nearby using it’s radar sensor.
Thank you for sharing your WTH moment; however, we are looking for topics about Home Assistant itself, and not external ESPHome devices.
