Hoje pro #TerSoftware vou falar de #ESPHome .

Ele é uma camada que facilita muito tudo que antes se fazia com o sistema Arduino. Você define os sensores compatíveis e conecta na sua plaquinha ESP32 e boom você tem um sensor / relê etc rodando totalmente localmente sem nenhuma conexão (obrigatório) com o tal cloud e integrado fácil no #homeassistant

Pode involver solda mas têm soluções para se livrar (eu finalmente aprendi e gostei).

Não sei se alguém tem um link de um bom tutorial em 🇧🇷?

User: Hey, is there a home automation device that'll do this specific thing that I want?

Other Users: Oh yeah, there's things like this on Amazon *sends link* or you can get this on AliExpress *sends link* but the latter may take more fudging to get it work, although I--

Home Assistant User: HAVE YOU HEARD OF ESPHOME???

Over the past few days, I "channeled" my inner nerd into building an automated radiation detection system using open-source tools.

The device combines an ESP32 running #ESPHome for sensor data collection, my #HomeAssistant for centralized smart home integration, and #NodeRED for automating hourly Fediverse updates via a bot account

@Radiation_SL (since this Geiger counter is located in northern Germany ( #Schleswig )

Technical Breakdown:

Sensor: Radiation D-v1.1 (CAJOE) - radiation detector

Connectivity: ESP32 transmits via Wi-Fi to Home Assistant

Case: #3dPrinting the case (photo) - base is black and the lid is blue and shows the logo of "Fallout" (pc game/ TV series)

Automation: Node-RED flow formats data into ActivityPub messages

Decentralized Sharing: Posts include μSv/h readings

While this started as a hardware tinkering project, recent global events — nuclear rhetoric in conflict zones, aging power plants, and insufficient transparency in environmental monitoring — made me realize decentralized citizen science could play a crucial role.

Open-source tools eliminate single points of failure, and Fediverse integration ensures censorship-resistant data sharing.

Feel free to follow my bot account I mentioned above, if you are interested.

If I can find some time I will write a blogpost about the build process and link it in the bio / or just toot about it.

A black box with a blue lid. In the lid is the yellow logo of the pc games "Fallout". The box stands on my desk.
Screenshot of my HomeAssistant panel. It shows the Ionizing Radiation Power in Mikrosievert per hour. The readings are between 0.09.and 0.21 - the line goes up and down and up and down and up and down...

@3dprinting Now I need to wire up the rest of the electronics. MOSFET to switch the Peltier, 12V power to the Peltier and fan, 5V converter for the ESP32, GPIOs to the MOSFET's gate and the fan's PWM and tach signals, and an I2C connection to the external temperature/humidity sensor.

I should draw up a schematic in KiCAD just to keep track of all the connections. I haven't used KiCAD in years...

@3dprinting I drilled into the cold side heatsink and inserted the temperature probe. I got it into ESPHome and Home Assistant.

The first dip in the graph is with no thermal paste; the second is with paste. It drops a lot faster and further with paste. I stopped the second run at -13℃. N.B., there is no airflow through the heatsink yet. It won't get so cold with airflow.

So this is encouraging.

🧵 14/N

A hole has been drilled through the first four fins of the heatsink, and the cylindrical temperature probe has been inserted. There is some thermal paste on the probe. The heatsink is installed into the dehumidifier, but is not covered.
The partial cover is on. The ends of the heatsink fins are showing, and the wire of the temperature probe is coming out of the top of the assembly. (Left side, actually, but it's laying over on its right side.
A graph from Home Assistant showing temperature over time. There are two temperature drops. In the first, the temperature starts at 23 degrees Celsius, then falls asymptotically toward -0.5 degrees over 11 minutes. On the second test, the temperature falls from 23 to -13 in less than three minutes. It was still falling fast when I stopped the test.

@schattenspringer Bei heise.de haben sie grad nen Artikel für so ein altes Kindle ePaper zum eSignage umzurüsten. Ansonsten gerne suchen nach ePD Homeassistant. Meine die Fertiglösungen sind recht teuer wie ein altes Tablet. Aber wenn basteln ok ist, kann man mit #esphome da kostengünstig arbeiten 👍

Afterwards I checked my #HomeAssistant energy monitoring data (provided by an Emporia Vue 2 flashed with #ESPHome). The yellow line is the voltage on one 120V leg from the transformer (the one that was going to burn up), and the blue line is the voltage on the other 120V leg.

The three sections of the graph are during the problem, while the power is out, and after the new transformer was installed.

Graph of the voltages over time of the two 120V legs in my house. One leg's voltage fluctuates significantly throughout the day and also drops measurably. In the latter part of the graph, the voltage on both legs is very consistent.
