homeThing

Open-source ESPHome-based smart home remote hardware and menu system, like an iPod for your house.

Physical productone_timeglobal

An open-source ESPHome-based hardware and menu system that provides a dedicated physical remote for smart home devices, combining a 3D-printable ESP32 case, PCB and an iPod-style menu with a scroll wheel and buttons. It addresses the need to control speakers, TVs and infrared devices without unlocking a phone, and is intended for Home Assistant and ESPHome hobbyists who are willing to assemble hardware and flash ESPHome firmware.
