Daniele Verducci 🧉Hello <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/homeassistant" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> geeks (more specifically <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/esphome" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#esphome</a> 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 <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/esp8266" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ESP8266</a> ). 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 (<a href="https://esphome.io/components/remote_transmitter.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://esphome.io/components/remote_transmitter.html</a>) but it's unclear to me with what hardware. Anyone can point me in the right direction?

Michiel KarnebeekI am still impressed with that proper AI can do. I was hitting my head against the wall trying to format data (printf-like stuff) in esphome lambda's, like the display components supports. And after spending a minute to properly prompt an AI, it understood <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/esphome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#esphome</a> yaml syntax, and the C-context lambda's are in. It found the function i needed, and surrounded it with a setup and return. Even in niche situations it is now an invaluable tool. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/domotica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#domotica</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homeautomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeautomation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ai</a>

Aaron Sawdey, Ph.D.Return air duct booster to get all the hot dog breath out of our bedroom. 7” noctua fan. The black box contains an esp32s2, a 7805 to drop the 12v that supplies the fan to 5v the micro’s regulator can handle, a Si7021 temp/humidity sensor, and a level shifter so we can give the fan a 5v pwm signal. Allows a 300-900 rpm range for the fan.
