I've got one esp32 board with espresence on it right now, but I sort of balked when I had to go in the HA settings and enable BLE on high power for my phone. How does it affect your battery life?
Also, as a minor annoyance, I could only flash the board from chrome when connected to a WINDOWS machine which I find pretty nasty 🤢, but I may be in the minority there.
Edit: how do you know when to send the notification btw? Did you configure some automation or script that just says how long until notify?
When power drops below a certain wattage I figure the cooking it complete. I've set it to 20 because it seems my air fryer drops to 24W every few minutes (when it's reached temp I guess) and my rice cooker drops below 50W when it's on the Keep Warm cycle.
So above 50W it checks the room and below 20W it calls a notification from the people that were in the room.
Yeah I was a Linux-boy for a decade before a friend gave me a gaming PC he made out of spare parts for me. His one stipulation was NO LINUX so I'm stuck with Windows. But I get ya.
Oh neat. I don't think my smart plugs show power consumption.
