Re:Fixing a broken smart cat feeder with ESP32 on Thursday February 01, 2024 @06:26PM (#39222983)
I love Home Assistant but I have yet to venture into the ESP32 board route of things. Can someone point to a good guide to getting started with these boards? How much soldering and/or microcontroller experience is needed?

What a fantastic project. It’s FOSS like this that makes the world go round. If only the original vision of the internet had been fulfilled, we’d have hundreds more projects like it.

Get lost with this congratulatory BS. Google has been a monopoly, a force for evil, an advertising protection racket that the mob would envy, for longer than many of our children can remember. We’ll all be better off when Google is no longer around, and when new companies can take its place.
