Ask HN: What have you built with ESPHome, ESP8266 or similar hardware
I tend to roll my own with rp-picos for no good reason other than they're easy. Wattmeter for a toy solar installation - broadcasts a UDP packet every few seconds, which I then record into a staging JSON log that gets ingested into DuckDB. Little pico-w wifi temperature sensor that feeds into the raspberry pi zero that controls my boiler.

The boiler control is the fun one but it's not entirely embedded stuff. Runs a little control loop that turns down the boiler modulation based upon the difference between target and current temperature. Improves operating efficiency by a fair bit and reduces temperature swings. Makes me wish residential HVAC systems were more sophisticated - these are things any good industrial control system can do.
Made an "ok to wake" light for my son -- added a controllable LED strip to his clock with a pico-w in it that changes from orange to multicolored at 6:30am as a non-intrusive "yes, you can come bug your parents" signal.)

I turned a light-up Pac Ghost into an indicator lamp for my Uptime Kumar instances.

I've been working on a replacement controller for the Omlet automatic chicken coop door. They've recently released their own connected controller but given the shortcomings of the original I'm not sure I trust it to be reliable enough to leave my feathered friends unsupervised for days at a time.
Next in the queue is replacing my ATHOM garage door controller with my own that will add a second reed switch to detect that the door is fully open.
And I'm mulling over ways I could monitor the feed level in my chicken feeders. And maybe close them off at night to keep other critters out. But it's tricky because I don't want to replace what I have with a design that might be easier to automate, as they've held up well against the rain and I'm lazy.
