Vielen Dank für das Tutorial. Ist es normal, dass man die Geräte nur im Kopplungsmodus verbinden kann? Manchmal merkt er sich ein Gerät aber meistens verbindet es sich nicht ein Zweites mal. Dann wieder nur im Kopplungsmodus.
Das wundert mich. Bei meinem Kopfhörer funktioniert es einwandfrei. Jedes Mal, wenn ich diesen einschalte, verbindet er sich automatisch wieder.

Hey there! Happy that you like it 😊👍🏻 Here is a link to an exemplary lock. I will soon also post on my blog about this project including the YAML code. a.co/d/8huob7m
@@the_smart_home_maker Thank you.
Absolutely love this solution! First time I saw HAP-ESPHome, thanks for sharing. Now if only door locks would be as easy to build as this is hah
Sit at my desk and think to my self, I need that Button! Computer off, couch pops up, glass with umbrella flies into my hand 😂 Have a good time!
Yeah! 😊👍🏻😎
Just use aux transmitter and you can connect Bluetooth 🫡
Is this a joke with the video? 4K and the video is still very poor quality. Extremely poor frame rate and pixel mush.
Thanks for the feedback - will try to improve for future videos
But the quality also depends on you internet connection, I guess
My birds aren't tweeting. I don't even think they know how to use a smartphone
Great Video; I could not get serial data to work, so I gave up and left it off for the last 3 months; today, I fired it back up, installed the new firmware and had the same issue; I can't sync open/close status. Then I watched this video, I had unplug the garage door opening, what the!! I plugged my GDO terminal into port 1, which was worse, then moved back to port 0 and no more errors, The sync status was successful! FIXED IT. Thanks for taking the time to record this; sometimes it the little stupid stuff that fixes things :(
So happy that it helped you 😊👍🏻
Ok, here’s how I would start Follow that connector on the back to the pins on the MCU I think it’s the STM32F030x8. Download that data sheet to find out what the pins do I think they’re PB9 and PC13 (and probably more that I can’t see) Looking at the data sheet, this might be for i2c or spi I only skimmed the data sheet, these pins might also be for programming. If they’re for programming, you might be able to dump the flash and reverse engineer it. If the pins are not for programming, you might be able to intercept the commands on the i2c/spi bus to see what’s being sent and then just program your own version on your own microcontroller I don’t think it’ll be easy to add to home assistant without a lot of reverse engineering effort. I think it’s possible but not easy. As the MCU is fairly common and the pins themselves aren’t some weird connector but instead regular 2.54mm headers. There is a more I could probably suggest but it’s a bit too long for a TH-cam comment.
Wow! Thank you sooo much for your detailed hints! Super valuable, thank you so much!! Keep you in the loop!
What a brilliant idea. Great project. I’m definitely going to add this to my outdoor kitchen bbq. After the pizza oven is built, so might be a while yet!
Happy that you love it 😊 Happy BBQing 🍗
Great Project my only problem is that my water meter is outside my house I do not have a power source close by, I thought of using a power bank but when the power banks runs out would all the setting be lost ?
The settings are definitely stored, otherwise you could not restart the device nor would it keep the settings during a short power outage. So I think it should work with the power bank 😊
Is it possible to analyze more than one photo with a single prompt?
Well theoretically this should be possible as Ollama does not only accept one image but an array of images. For me it did not work just from a performance perspective. You need even more computational power for that. But yes, theoretically it should work.
Cool thumb nail bro!
Thank you 😊
that your good content matches your picture, you urgently need a better camera. You look a bit blurred
Thanks for the hint- probably auto focus was off a bit 😉
wow, that's brilliant. Many thanks for the idea and the easy description of how to realise it. Will be integrated directly
Happy that you like it 😊👍🏻
hi, can you list the parts need it? and where we can buy them? (like aliexpress maybe) PD: Cool project, I also want to try this on my daughter's bedroom, thanks for sharing!
Hey there! Have you already seen the follow up video for the more "professional" solution? th-cam.com/video/bHTQwtPx9eM/w-d-xo.html
@@the_smart_home_maker thanks for the answer, I did actually, I just have a lot of WROOM ESP32 boards that I'd like to use for this project. However, I'm relatively new to electronics, so I'm trying to follow along as best as I can. For instance, I'm not sure which type of transistor or resistors or button I should use. Could you please provide some guidance or recommendations on these components? It would really help me out. Thanks in advance!
Very interesting video! Do you think it is possible to use a Google Coral USB dongle to speed up the AI responses and if so any hints doing so?
I have seen some videos on using Google Coral for object recognition and face recognition, but they usually involve using software like Frigate. I can't remember seeing anything about using Google Coral directly from Home Assistant. I would be very interested in such a thing too, especially about the M.2-variant.
@@magnusnelenius649 from my understanding it is not ideal as the Google Coral TPU does not have onboard memory or at least not big enough to keep a whole LLM, I.e. this would require a lot of data transfer via USB and hence would slow it down again.
I wonder how long these batteries last… it has been 1 month already, so any insight?
As soon as I will have more data on that, I am happy to share 😊👍🏻

Verrrrrrrryyyy nice ideea :-) I'l make this also in some day... Thanks a lot for the video
Happy that you like it 😊👍🏻
Alot of water meters will have a magnet in one of the dials so that you can read that with some kind of reed swith or hall effect sensor.
Great idea 😊
thanks for the detailed explanation, perfect video length in my opinion
Happy to hear that 😊
Well I’ve looked and its not in English, make a one for the English lot
You are right! @flotomation is this motivation for you ? 😊
BeardedTinkerer might do it soon as well
@@adfjasjhf that would be awesome! Love his tutorials!
At least the video runs on 15fps, to make it more goofy :DDDD
@ASTI12_official_ which video runs at 15fps?
There is a "Utility meter" integration in HA that is going allow you to add that and do things like hourly, daily, monthly and yearly... It's perfect for this.
Good remark 👍🏻 thank you 😊
Both my meters use BLE, so its easy for me whit a Esphome bt Proxy 👍
Awesome - well that is of course the perfect solution 😊
What's the best way to tell if one uses BT or BLE? Would something like a Flipper Zero work to confirm the signal and format? My water meter must communicate to the remote reader somehow, but there's very little information on it to go by.
@elzzon there are lots of apps out there which you can use to scan for BLE devices and their advertising data. This could help to identify whether your device supports BLE
I'm using this as well, but it it very unreliable over here.
Really? In what way unreliable? I use it since at least one year and it works very well
@@the_smart_home_maker Well, perhaps my two water meters are not suitable. The number recognition only works around 1 out of 10 shots for one and nearly never for the other.
@christianbottger493 hm that is bad 😟 sorry to hear that
One remark: In the video I say that you send the data to Home Assistant via MQTT. Actually, of course you send the data to your MQTT Broker (e.g. Mosquitto) and Home Assistant just subscribes on the topic. Just to have it correct 😎
Very interesting potential here. For more than just water meters, cool project.
Yes, definitely 👍🏻
How does your HA instance handle the connection to the esp32 unit sending the microphone voice data? I may be misunderstanding but it seems like the wake word is handled on the HA instance and not the esp32. If that is the case although no actions happen unless the wake word is said, it would still require processing and network resources to filter for the wake word?
Well at the time I was creating the video, that was state of tech for ESPHome. But in the meantime, ESPHome has integrated Micro Wakeword which allows to perform on-device wake word detection directly on the ESP32 😊
Madman is still using Micro USB
Ha ha, yes, you are right. You know, I just have so many micro USB cables lying around, but yes, for future projects, definitely USB-C would be better suited.
@@the_smart_home_maker hey I get it, don’t worry. I’m just surprised it’s not easier to get USB C at this point, over Micro USB. In terms of BOM etc
@o0julek0o yes, I guess USB-C is much better
I love the solution you came up with, in fact same solution I came up with myself for my stationary gas tank in the roof. However it has been running for about 2 months, and the readings go up and down throughout the day. I am guessing it has to do with the temperature. Overall I see the weight has gone down. Each day weight goes through a max and minimum, but those max's and minimums do get a bit lower day after day. In a nut sell it is good to give me a general idea of how much gas I have left, but not accurate/stable enough to be able to tell how many grams I used in x amount of time.
Thank you for your valuable feedback! I think the temperature has a strong influence as also mentioned by @RuddODragonFear. I will now observe my solution in practical use and will provide a learnings video later on 😀
Great project
Happy that you like it 😊
Hi, Great Video! I had the same issue with my circuit I made for our RV which has (2) 30LB tanks. The displayed weight kept wandering a little. My fix was to add 10 sample reads to the script to eliminate the wandering for the displayed weight. Works fine. At least it did for the last time I checked it about 3 months ago.
Sounds good 👌🏻 thank you! Will have a look into this
is it possible to play music on multiroom?
Good question 😊 This would be a question for the Home Assistant community. I haven’t tried playing music with the device yet but it will be part of the next steps
I did the same thing in 2022 and stopped using it because of horrible load cell drift with temperature change and even with stable temperatures.
Thank you - well I am currently making my experiences with this. I also experience this drifting which is not so nice. Maybe this relates to the quality of the load cells?
@@the_smart_home_maker i thuoght redesigning with some decoupling caps would help, but lost interest. definitely need a temp sensor and polynomial compensation because load cells change shape with temperature changes.
This is a good hint!
Two way audio gone.
Yes - this is planned for step 2 of the solution together with unlocking the door (also missing in the current first version)
If it's so smart, why doesn't it do the laundry itself?
Haha yes that would be the next step 😉👍🏻
When @plaato finally open-source their software, everyone can buy low-priced keg scales that they unceremoniously discontinued last year. Multiple load cells in each one and no need to design any enclosures yourself. Already waterproof.
Sounds great 👍🏻😊
selten so ein unnötiges video gesehen. kauf dir eine zweite gasflasche!
Interesantes Projekt :) Ich denke ein etwas anderer Ansatz wäre vermutlich flexibler in der Anwendung.... Hier meine Gedanken dazu: Ich würde es besser finden, wenn man das Projekt so designen würde, dass man damit auch unterschiedlich grosse Flaschen benutzen könnte, ohne das Gewichte dann jeweils im Code ändern/anpassen zu müssen. Eine gute Lösung würde ich finden, wenn man in HomeAssistant einfach die Gasfüllmenge (in Kg) eingeben könnte, respektiv über einen Schieberegler auswählen könnte. Dadurch wäre das Gewicht der leeren Flasche und somit auch die Grösse/das Model der Flasche eigentlich ganz egal, da man direkt nur die Gasmenge berücksichtigen würde. Dann in HomeAssistant noch ein Kalibrierungsknopf hinzufügen, den man beim Flaschenwechsel schnell mal drückt und somit die Lastzellen auf 0kg kalibrieren kann. Dann noch eine Anmerkung betreffend das Springen der Anzeige der Gasfüllmenge von 3kg auf 4kg, das du im Video angesprochen hast.... Das kann schon alleine davon kommen, dass du da keine Nachkommawerte mit anzeigst, weswegen ein Sprung von 3kg auf 4kg schon durch einen in der Realität viel geringeren Wert ausgelöst werden kann. Beispiel: Wenn alles gemessene zwischen 3,00Kg und 3,99Kg als 3kg angezeigt wird, dann reicht unter Umstände (bei zB einem Messwert von 3,95Kg) bereits ein Schwanken des Messwerts um einige Gramm um deine Anzeige von 3Kg auf 4Kg springen zu lassen.... ! Hoffe ich konnte meine Gedanken jetzt irgendwie verständlich rüberbringen :)
Danke Dir für Deine Gedanken und Anregungen. Finde ich alles super 👍🏻😊 Man könnte das ESPHome Device auch eher „dumm“ ausgestalten und alle Werte direkt in Home Assistant berechnen. Damit wäre eine Lösung wie von Dir beschrieben sicherlich einfach umsetzbar 😊👍🏻 Würde es Dich interessieren, wie das geht, d.h. würde es helfen, wenn ich diesen Ansatz in einem separaten Blog Beitrag und/oder Video aufgreife?
@@the_smart_home_maker Danke für die schnelle Antwort. Ja mich, aber sicher auch andere Mitleser, würde es sehr interessieren wie ich der oben beschriebene Lösung näher kommen könnte :) Ich denke dass aus deinem Projekt noch vieles rauszuholen ist, damit das Ganze noch flexibler und umfangreicher wird. Ein separates Video und ggfls. zusätzlicher BlogPost wäre super. Danke
@Smoothy0911 ok 😊 ich werde das anpacken, kann aber etwas Zeit in Anspruch nehmen
