  7. #weedlings look happy this morning

    Taken with an #esp32 cam with #esphome and #homeassistant. Lights (intermittently 🤬) controlled via peanut plug. Circulation fan and exhaust fan are both reliable using switchbot. Random #ble sensor is sitting up high in the tent reporting temp/humidity to #bigear

    Sunday the soil root stuff arrives and they go into little pots. The yellow 3 get ready for outside while the others stay here (gender permitting)

  12. CW: I'm fucking irritated

    My #HomeAssistant is pushing a ton of huge "danger!" warnings saying:

    > To improve Bluetooth reliability and performance, we highly recommend updating esp-coffee-v4 with ESPHome 2023.6.0 or later.

    You may wonder why my devices are out of date. I'm generally pretty good about updates and #BigEar uses #bluetooth a LOT.

    They are out of date because I had to downgrade them. Why? **Because 2023.6.0 and later completely and totally broke bluetooth.**

    Who the ~fuck~ tested this? And as a bonus, why was it not mentioned in the changelog? It is "important" enough to be pushed as an *urgent change* but nobody fucking TESTED IT first?

    At least #stalebot keeps all the developers from having to see bug reports.

  17. The absolute best part of the #BigEar project is that I can just buy random #BLE sensors and throw them anywhere. Security is such a joke (its just broadcast) but the threat model is "someone driving past might notice that my pool is warm." 🤷 🌡️

    (I do mean REALLY anywhere though, within about 4 yards/houses in most directions, using zero equipment outside the main house. Later I'll waterproof one and try it on the fence..)

    Y'all shouldn't be buying #oralb toothbrushes or really ANY #bluetooth bathroom scale. Just saying. (And yes, I can probably see your growroom sensor too.)

    This is the one on my desk. No ads on mine 😸

    Just a busted #prusa printer while I wait for them to actually ship my parts. (The extra week pre-ship delay has me irritable.)

    On the right, the #bigear thinks the cat is nearby, the weather is HOT but wind/rain are low (good for flying #drones) and both the air and the pool are nasty levels of hot. (Air via #TomorrowIO, pool via a floating #BLE sensor.)

    Definitely. If it were me, I would just mad-scientist the extra fob to an #esp32 or #esp8266 and stick electrodes in it's brain. (It probably runs off 3V, so you could power it from the ESP and save batteries.) That also prevents physical alignment shifts; it won't ever accidentally push panic instead, unless you soldered it wrong.

    This approach is basically what I imposed on our coffee maker. It has a #switchbot wifi plug as a current sensor purely to detect manual runs, and a little esp32+relay inside that bridges the button contacts for automatic runs. The whole thing hides under the pot (no warmer in this one) and is only visible because of the extra usb wire. (Since the #esp32 upgrade, it also participates as a #bigear #ble listening-post.)

    As it has evolved over the years, I've been too lazy to look for DC inside. If I ever do V2 I will fix that, and get rid of the relay and wall-wart in favor of instrumenting the switch+led directly.

  32. Today's total pile of horse dookie is courtesy frequent-flyer #ESPhome. The latest release completely broke #BLE (and by extension, my #bigear)

    Weirdly, #homeassistant can still "see" the tags, with it's broken distance calculation (weighted average?) and useless "source" field.

    I'd file a bug but I am not arguing with #stalebot again. (And even their humans are not great.)
