P1P2Serial
Monitor and control Daikin/Rotex (hybrid/Altherma) heat pumps via the 2-wire P1/P2 thermostat interface with an ATmega328P, ESP8266, and electronics. The P1P2Serial library and P1P2Monitor program perform low-level bus operation, the P1P2-bridge-esp8266 program interprets data from/to MQTT supporting Home Assistant MQTT discovery. P1P2Serial may also be used for other Japanese Home Bus System based standards: DIII-NET (F1/F2) bus, Mitsubishi M-Net bus, Toshiba TCC-Link, Hitachi H-link, Panasonic
-
esphome-panasonic-ac
Open source alternative for Panasonic air condition wifi adapters that works locally without the Comfort Cloud

Temper-ESP8266
Temper is a compact temperature sensor based on ESP8266 and SHT30 with large 13x7 pixel led display.
-
smart-home-automation-rtos
A complete home automation system developed on ESP32 microcontroller using freeRTOS. The system is controlled wirelessly via Bluetooth with an android app developed using MIT App Inventor.
-
CQC
CQC (Charmed Quark Controller) a commercial grade, full featured, software based automation system. CQC is built on our CIDLib C++ development system, which is also available here on GitHub.
-
ESPHome-Arduino-Port-Expander

For the ESP32, an hero is in the process of adding LVGL to ESPHome. You can try it out now: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/6363
Here's the (very good!) preview documentation: https://deploy-preview-3678--esphome.netlify.app/components/...
This is such a game-changer for me that I'll be using the ESP32 over the ESP8266 for any projects involving displays from now on.

Project mention: Ask HN: What have you built with ESPHome, ESP8266 or similar hardware | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-27Not built, but designed a widget with a rest api on a wifi endpoint on one side and an IR led on the other to automate my dumb a/c unit. There was already a library to emulate the exact IR remote control,

Project mention: Ask HN: How have you engineered the shit out of your home's front entrance? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-28Engineering implies working within constraints. Most people in this realm only have to deal with the spouse acceptance factor as a limiter.
Went from openhab -> homeassistant -> Node-RED. Then sprinkle in MySensors, Frigate, and Double-Take, but not on just the entrance, go for the perimeter then defense in depth.

So, I have a few proprietary RF smart lights all around the house. I control these using an ESP project I found in Home Assistant. The problem I'm running into is kids turning off the lights from the switches. I figured the solution would be running relay switches for the smart lights since I want to install some for the dumb lights either way. I read up somewhere that you can run some relays in something called decoupled/detached mode, which allows them to send their state to home assistant, which can toggle the smart bulb.
Project mention: Ask HN: What have you built with ESPHome, ESP8266 or similar hardware | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-27Brought an inactive home security system onto Home Assistant using the below repository, so I can track everything from smoke alarms to motion, doors, and windows. I swear there's a niche business opportunity in retrofitting all these deactivated systems!
