I’ve been diving into the world of ESP32 and exploring alternative communication methods beyond Wi-Fi. While I love the simplicity of esphome, my concern about relying solely on Wi-Fi has led me to research single pair Ethernet and CAN-Bus options. It’s fascinating to think about how these alternatives could streamline my smart home setup without the need for extra wires. If anyone has experience with these technologies, I’d love to hear your insights!
On another note, I’ve been working on setting up battery alerts for my devices. It would be amazing to receive notifications when batteries drop below a certain threshold, say 20%, to ensure everything stays powered. I’m curious about the best practices for automating these alerts and integrating them with SMS, email, or even Google Home notifications.
I’d also love to hear about your favorite ways to keep your smart home devices connected and running smoothly. Whether it’s a clever workaround or a tried-and-true method, sharing knowledge always helps us all improve our setups!
