This is the best expliantion of what I'm seeing but the solution the issue was closed with doesnt work for me (the switch.turn_on = I2C_POWER line causes an error). https://github.com/esphome/feature-requests/issues/1511

Make 4 single pixels behave like 4-pixel strip
I've had a github issue for ESPhome open for a while on this. Although some possible solutions have been presented, I don't think anyone has been successful.

Some whole house audio and presence detection use cases
Also, I am using the bluetooth on the Pi to drive Room Assistant, to tell which room I'm in and automatically switch on the audio in that room when I am in that room, and switch it off when I leave. It also has support for the grid-eye sensor which looks like the flir sensor you useThere's also a similar project for ESP32 called ESPresence.

Are bluetooth beacons still the best way to do location tracking in a building?
Check out Room Assistant. I have 9 RaspberryPi Zeros set up around my house and these do a great job tracking which rooms our cats are in, provided that we put a tiny BLE dongle on their collar.

I miss my self-hosting hobby
Earlier I had six raspberry pi's spread around the house to try out new things (e.g. room level presence detection - which did not work well despite weeks of tuning - and as snapcast clients). But it became a pita to keep watch over so many independent systems, updating them, remembering the IP, passwords, forgetting what I have installed last time, etc. This is what I like with the whole docker thing: fire up a container, tweak it, and then if it is not used delete it again without affecting the other services.
