ESP32 smart home platform

The challenge

Build an approachable, well-documented path for hobbyists to get ESP32 sensors talking to Home Assistant.

What I built

A series of ESPHome-based projects — weather stations, occupancy sensors, relay control — each with full wiring diagrams and code.

Result

Became one of the most-read sections of my blog, with readers regularly extending the projects into their own builds.
