RANDOM.ORG VS ESPHome

I'm about to just do a Random.org roll for the 5 builds I'm deciding between. Let RNGesus take the wheel. Source: 5 months ago

I am live on twitch rn and let's play a game tip me in the comments 1000 cones and every 3000 cones tip I will use random.org to choose a winner between the three tippers who will get all of the cones. Do not tip to play if I am offline it will be considered a gift at that point. Source: 5 months ago

Winners will be selected after 1 week using random.org to select winning comments. The winning IDs will be reported to Panoramik and gems will be distributed during the week. Source: 5 months ago

Indicate your interest below and random.org will decide. Source: 6 months ago

Each user will only be granted ONE qualifying top-level comment. I will confirm all qualifying comments with a green "post approved" check mark. Once the deadline has elapsed, I will: 1) double check all entries for duplicates, 2) number all qualifying entries in no particular order, 3) feed that number range into Random.org, 4) generate one random number from that range, 5) match the randomly generated number...

Solid state relay is probably a bad idea with all the extra heat-sinking, extra cost, and chance of getting counterfeits. I do this with ESPHome & a J115F21C12VDCS.9 relay (note only the NO side is rated for 40A resistive): https://i.imgur.com/MqqOkoY.png Choose any of the temperature sensors here for air temperature sensing: https://esphome.io/ Configuration is so easy. For the sensor, just copy the config... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

You might want to take a look at https://esphome.io/ for an easy integration of an ESP32/8266 into home Assistant. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

You can do this with a $30 Sonoff S31 running ESPHome [0]. Since the Sonoff wall switch can run a ping sensor against your server you could create a watchdog automation right on the S31 to shut off the mains power to the S31 switch and turn back on after X seconds. There are other ways you could have the S31 do operational checks but ultimately ESPHome is probably an interesting consideration and supported by tons... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

They're pretty great and compatible with most things. ESPHome [1] is a great resource for getting ESP32's working nicely with HA and you can find lots of projects using it to learn from. You'll likely need to do soldering if you want to connect sensors, batteries and the like. Personally I really like what SEEED Studio [2] does with their ESP32 boards and they have nice docs. 1. https://esphome.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Maybe you could set up ESPHome on the ESP32. It might make connecting those components easier, plus a decent web server built in. Then your app can be set up to access data provided by the ESPHome web server. Source: 5 months ago
