Any chance you have or could post pics of those custom HA controllers? Seeing custom interactables and how they integrate with ppl's environments are always suuuuper interesting

One-shotted LVGL UI (which I think it a bit ugly).

A Bluetooth gateway has a flat battery so 2 temperature sensors aren't getting relayed.

This is a Guition ESP32-S3-4848S040 board with this case https://makerworld.com/en/models/2859961-guition-4-esp32-s3-...

About $25 in total I think.

I love the fit and finish on the case. Neat to just one shot little control panels like that. Have you thought about making more? Context sensitive based on the room or activity in that area?

Yes the fit & finish is pretty nice.

Currently it's mostly a case of building them to solve specific problems, and I don't really have much else I need. This one controls my temperature and lighting for when I don't want to pick up my phone.

I have physical switches for most things too.
