Ask HN: What have you built with ESPHome, ESP8266 or similar hardware
Back during the pandemic, hardware-based contract tracers were an idea. I built one using the ESP32; see https://github.com/tbensky/npct. In a nutshell, everyone generates a (non-centralized) hash for themselves based on local entropy. This hash is set to the BLE name of the ESP32. Turn it on and throw it in your backpack as you go out. When two ESP32s pass by each other, they both log the other's BLE name (hence hash). Later on, hash logs could be inspected and uploaded to a central server so you can see who encountered who. Seems like there's still some (non-Covid) applications for this (but I can't think of any). Fun project. Learned a lot about Bluetooth.

I turned a light-up Pac Ghost into an indicator lamp for my Uptime Kumar instances.

I've been working on a replacement controller for the Omlet automatic chicken coop door. They've recently released their own connected controller but given the shortcomings of the original I'm not sure I trust it to be reliable enough to leave my feathered friends unsupervised for days at a time.
Next in the queue is replacing my ATHOM garage door controller with my own that will add a second reed switch to detect that the door is fully open.
And I'm mulling over ways I could monitor the feed level in my chicken feeders. And maybe close them off at night to keep other critters out. But it's tricky because I don't want to replace what I have with a design that might be easier to automate, as they've held up well against the rain and I'm lazy.
