What companies are currently creating #ESPHome devices that you have bought and used? @homeassistant #homeassistant
Examples:
Apollo Automation (https://apolloautomation.com/)
Elevated Sensors (https://www.elevatedsensors.com/)
Ratgdo for my garage door (https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/). So simple but it works so well. Blows MyQ and OpenGarage out of the water
Those seems nice products, but wow, they cost quite a lot!
Most of these products are made by individual entrepreneurs or small businesses. They don’t have economies of scale, so each product is hand made, which makes things more expensive.
Oh, I didn’t know, thanks for the information.
I have one of these but haven’t set it up yet. MyQ is so annoying.
Shout out to Everything Smart Home, great YouTube channel as well!
@tj @homeassistant Athom energy monitoring wifi smart plugs for triggering other actions based on energy usage.
m5stack Atom Echo for a voice assistant.
I’m not buying athom now. Out of the 8 plugs I bought from them 5 are bricked. Looking at Shelly now.
@canatella wow. Any idea how they bricked? I’m still new to ESPhome and learning the ropes but I didn’t see any complaints about Athom before I purchased them.
An Everything Presence One & a Lite from Everything Smart Home, a MSR-1 and a H-1 from Apollo Automation and a Ratgdo for my garage door, all working great. Plus a few home made bits here and there, love this platform.
That bed sensor is looking awfully tasty, thanks sharing!
Well, I’m not a company, but I use my own creation: https://nowsci.com/only-sensor/

Have a bunch of KAUF Smart Bulbs that come pre-flashed with ESPHome
Also have a bunch of SonOff S31’s and a bunch of Treatlife 3-way in-wall switches running ESPHome, but those both all required opening them up and making jigs to reflash them over to ESPHome from the stock firmwares.
(Edit: Plus a ton of custom ESPHome boards and piles-o-wires running ESPHome)
Came just to talk up KAUF. As an avid home-assistant user it was the easiest smart bulb I’ve ever set up and not only do the bulbs not need an app but the home-assistant esphome integration detected them as soon as i had configured Wi-Fi in their webui.
Found them totally by chance looking for smart bulbs for desk lamps that are E26 socket but A15 bulb size and found very few choices at the time. What a happy accident!

I have 4 plugs from athom.tech . I’m in the US and they work great with HA.
