A bit of a frustrating day trying to get my ESP32 Atom Echo working with Home Assistant.

I used this page to flash it, it seems to work, but when it get to the wifi page it just spins looking for a network.

https://esphome.io/projects/index.html

Any ideas what I can do? I can add it via ESPHome, but I assume that I assume that has wipes the Voice Control firmware.

@bazcurtis @homeassistant @homeassistant @homeassistantinpills @homeassistant I’ve just copied the yaml, added my WiFi network to the configuration then compiled and flashed it

@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis @homeassistant @homeassistant @homeassistantinpills @homeassistant I think it would be a valuable lesson if you’ve tried it. Once you do it the world of ESPHome supported stuff lies open to you ;)

@bazcurtis @homeassistant @homeassistant @homeassistantinpills @homeassistant I’m running all of my esp devices on ESPHome - controlling my heat pump, recuperator and solar inverter suing modbus, using stuff like ld2410 in a few others.

@bazcurtis @homeassistant @homeassistant @homeassistantinpills @homeassistant I wasn’t so lucky - Foxess cloud (for my inverter) sucks, and the modbus interface is a little bit better, and works locally. Still limited to refresh once every 2 minutes:/

@bazcurtis @homeassistant @homeassistant @homeassistantinpills @homeassistant You need to add the device (it should be auto discovered by HA and available in settings->devices->integrations), only after doing that it will be able to communicate with HA using its API. On the HA side you need to set up pipelines, it is described in the year of the voice blog post.

@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis @homeassistant @homeassistant @homeassistantinpills @homeassistant I highly recommend trying it. It opens a new world of possibilities. You can make both devices that are much cheaper than their counterparts available to buy, and ones that are not available at all (combine a few sensors/components in a mix that is not generally available).

I would like to record some game play footage from my XBOX to my M1 MacBook Air. I don’t need a webcam (no wants to see me 😀). I will add some subtitles to it later. I don’t need to stream.

Any ideas on how to do this?

@bazcurtis USB capture card

@bazcurtis I’m using one like this: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEYsdon occasionally. You can open it like this in VLC, where you can also output/record it. Elgato has some more high-end ones, but this should do the job

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis Yeah, I could’ve mentioned Elgato, but if you’re not doing it regularly I think it’s an overkill;)

Broadcom ported my profile over from VMWare, and doesn't know how to handle my name now so I can't sign the download agreement. It also doesn't give me a way to edit my name, either 😛

I tried the support chat, and got an error instead.

What a shitshow.

@stroughtonsmith Yeah, the first letter of my surname is a (disallowed) „special character”. Broadcom, I’d like to let you know that Unicode is older than you (as a company).

Updates on Delta for iPad:

• Yes, it’s coming!
• We’ve been working on it for a while and it’s near completion, just need to finish up controller skins + fix some last bugs
• We didn’t prioritize iPad because plan was to launch in just EU with AltStore PAL (which doesn’t support iPad)
• Obviously plans changed when Apple changed their rules, so we’re prioritizing iPad now and it will come with the next major Delta update (1.6)
• It’s available now for Patrons through regular AltStore 🙂

@rileytestut What’s the plan for EU though? Since you’re distributing Delta through PAL I guess it can’t be made available in EU using it, and you can’t put it on App Store at the same time?

Good post by @heckj on what he learned and the tradeoffs he did when designing an API for strict swift concurrency support.

The best part are the regrets he has, good guidance for those of us starting on our strict journey:

Woke up to see @delta is now the #1 app in the entire App Store!! In less than 12 hours!!!

I feel like I’m dreaming 🥹

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@rileytestut @delta I presume it can’t be in EU app stores, because you’re distributing it on your „alternative marketplace”?
That’s a shame.

If you want some nice, authentic physical gamepads to go with Delta, remember that Nintendo offer Bluetooth/USB-C versions of the SNES and N64 controllers to Nintendo Online subscribers, and those are fully compatible with all of Apple's platforms.

If you're in Europe or Japan, you can also get versions with the correct button colors 😜

Sometimes you can't help yourself. I had this card that showed the live and maximum watts of my solar panels. It didn't show the maximum for the day. It does now 😀 A bad day for testing, but it looks ok.

It is going to be handy over the years to see how it declines over time. This year two. You can see the front (east facing) has already hit the maximum this year. The back (west) will start to kick in more in the coming months.

@bazcurtis That looks great! I’m not sure it would be easy to adapt with different regulations about the cost of import/export and rules on debit in different countries (hell, it depends on when you got your PV installation mounted!). What I’d like to see is what is the power split between circuits (east/west for me) live and over time on a graph :)

spitfire,
@spitfire@mastodon.social avatar

@bazcurtis That looks good! I think I could adopt that (without the energy storage part, as I don’t have it), but a live pie chart of energy generation distribution (what % of power is being generated by east vs. west circuit) would be useful. I suck at coming up with nice looking dashboards, mine are mostly text based and focused only on basic functionality:/

bazcurtis, to homeassistant
@bazcurtis@mastodon.social avatar

I was asked by @spitfire how I made those solar wattage cards. I have written a post explaining how this was done.

@bazcurtis Thanks for the great writeup!
Just a few things I wanted to mention/ask:

  1. Can you do a code field in whatever blog engine/CMS that is? I’ve seen some of these on different sites with a „copy” button. Trying to select it and pasting causes YAML to do some strange things to formatting, and it takes a while to clean it up :/
  2. Do in understand it correctly and the date time helper stays the same after being used? Is there a way to move it forward by one year at the end of the trigger?
