Hello #homeassistant geeks (more specifically #esphome geeks). I'm facing something new: I need to control some appliances (4 motors and 1 light) with Home Assistant. I was povided with a couple of pricey RF 433mhz remotes that I really don't want to disassemble (so I cannot just solder some bodge wires to the keys pads and connect them to an #ESP8266 ). I need something that can receive, copy and re-send the signals mimiking the original remotes. I don't know anything about RF, don't own an SDR and don't know if the remotes use some kind of rolling code. I've seen there is some support on ESPHome for 433mhz transmitters (https://esphome.io/components/remote_transmitter.html) but it's unclear to me with what hardware.
Anyone can point me in the right direction?

Slightly better (I think) picture :)
It'll land on the shop (https://shop.crafting-labs.fr/en) soon.

I made the missing cuts yesterday and finished the assembly today.
Circles 1/32 is up and running.
I still need to figure out the correct lighting to take better pictures, but that'll wait tomorrow.

Good thing, matrix has 60 columns so I can make some test.
And I like it :)
Definitely needs a 61 columns to get a symmetry.
For the last months I spent my free time renovating a 100+ years old house.
But with today's heat that's not an option, so I'm back working on clocks :)
The plan is to apply what I learned building matrix (see this thread https://piaille.fr/@avernois/113391752318110644) to make a smaller version of my linear clocks (https://gitlab.com/avernois/clocks/-/tree/main/linear?ref_type=heads)

As I have way too much free time currently (I'm available if you'd like some help to tame a wild code base), I started a new clock project that is in the back of my mind since I reorganized my desk earlier this year.
The idea is to replace the word clock by a led matrix that could display time and fit on the shelf under the screen.
looking small, rewarding and quick to build #3dprinting / #esp8266 project? Take a look at ESPTimeCast.
Used a two layer diffusor and still had to dimm the let matrix down to ... 30%.

Enter #homeassistant. I do not want to tell #v380 app my home wifi password, so I need some other cam.
For a while, #esp32cam was fine. Caveat: I never had a suitable ethernet shield when I needed it, so I ended up putting #esp8266 as wifi repeaters all over the house (well, mainly the basement and other remote places).
#Happy420 Day! Den Tag zum Anlass genommen, habe ich heut ein weiteres Development Release meiner #CanGrow Firmware zusammengeschnürt und den v0.2 Entwicklungsstand in den Git main gemerged, da dieser nun voll funktionsfähig, wenn auch noch nicht feature complete, ist :)
Neben einer aktualisierten Readme im Git Projekt gibt es auch unter den Release pre-built Binaries zum direkten Upload auf euren #ESP :)

...aaaaaand my 4 months old daughter is already awake. All the work done today in the #lab amounts at #soldering headers to an #esp8266. That's all.

Every time I do some project "for fun" (= not for work) I try to learn something new, in that way i can say the time needed is not wasted.
So, this time I decided to try #wirewrapping . This is a very simple circuit, with no board, so it's a very very simple case, but I tried and I liked it!
Here a photo while connecting the #esp8266 (already flashed with #zimodem and configured to connect to my wifi) with the #UART to #RS232 adapter.

I'm going to build a #wifi #serial #modem for my #amstrad PPC640. Something like #theoldnet 's wifi modem, but I'll use #zimodem on an #esp8266 , because it worked ok with my #commodore64 and now I have some experience with it...
The idea is having the esp emulate an #hayes modem on the #UART pins and convert it to rs232 using a #max3232 module.
I also will need to solder a 9 to 25 pin #rs232 adapter, because I absolutely don't remember where mine is (used last time a couple of home moves ago...
)

A case, and a piece of paper as a diffuser and looks so much better :)
I love it!
I still have some finishing touch, some features to code and a lot of cleaning :)

@ryanc add the file used to store it into .gitignore is propably not an option?
Maybe you can setup a build script that merges that secrets.list into a final build file and exclude that as well?
I mean, I did such seperation and build scripting in some cases a while ago...

I did not realize when I posted that the video was that bad (it was late).
So, I made a (I think) better one.
I think I'm done with this prototype, I'll start working one the bigger version, maybe 11x50.

And we have clock ! \o/
This means I will most likely design the definitive pcb during the week end :)
