I love the idea of baking in per-switch “off” delays in ESPHome itself—you’re right, copying a binary_sensor and tacking a delay_off on it keeps things self-contained. For Rev2 I’m planning to expose that delay as a variable in the firmware, too—so whether you tweak it over MQTT. That way you...

This is where Home Assistant 'Automations' come into play. Eg, if CNC is on, turn fan on. If CNC turns off from on state, leave fan running 5mins. Or you could get super fancy and do some sort of air sensor that will kick the fan on when co2 or particulate ramps up. You can get as creative as...

By default on an ESP32 ESPHome’s output.ledc platform drives the PWM pin through the built‐in LEDC hardware peripheral, not a software ISR. That means your duty-cycle is rock solid at whatever frequency you choose, with zero CPU overhead (unlike the bit-bang method on an ESP8266). Really using...

I started in Fritzing too and felt its limits fast. KiCad has a steeper learning curve but it’s completely free, rock-solid, and way more powerful for real-world PCB work. Once you get comfortable with schematics, footprints, and the 3D viewer, you’ll never look back. And the community library...

First time poster, the information in this forum is amazing. I'm just an idiot stumbling through doing EE tasks and figuring out KiCad which has been fun. I've developed a PCB for an D1 Mini (ESP8266) which won't be ideal (but I had 20+ of them laying around lol) due to needing to software...
