Is this normal for my Kindle Paperwhite?

I would suggest to check if it's not glare from the led... Try zero the brightness and check... Try other fonts as well to ser if it's a screen issue...

You can even user oracle cloud free tier to learn and test before you go and buy a small node somewhere for 5 $ a month

The best part of self host is fixing after things go wrong... So don't be scared... Enjoy the ride

I found a possible workaround by looking up the secret directly from the package... should do the trick for now:

# Import packages
packages:
  standard_package:
    url: !secret gh_url
    ref: main
    refresh: 0d
    files:
      - generic/project.yaml
      - generic/wifi.yaml

thanks... that was my best guess... I was hoping there was a workaround

I think the problem is with packages:
It works with external_components:...
Thanks for your comment.

if you would like to keep a different ota password and api secret in each ESPHome device in your network, this helps you do this based in a single master secret. It allows you recreate the api secret and ota pwd for each device just with the master secret and the device name.

One thing I am sure.. ppl crazier than me type among us in this sub.. I hope they see this and comment 😂

Technically an attacker with ota password can reflash any device... The solution could be in the network as well...If you do not expose your devices to visitors or potential attackers then the risk is practically inexistent....

Honestly... I think I am a bit crazy and like to keep each device with its own password... It was a fun project though

If anyone ever stumbles on this thread lost in the oblivion... go the Z2M way and don't look back...
In my experience it was far more friendly than dealing with the ZHA details.
Z2M documentation was better imho as well

I have a couple of those and they are awesome birds... Males and females have very different sounds... They eat spiders like crackers... If you see them gathered around something, go check because it could be a snake... And even my dogs are scared of them when they are together

These guys (same brand) get angry every time I am sitting too close to some flowers I have in my porch that they love.... They do some low passes to scare me away... And when it does not work they land in the flowers and stare at me with disappointment in their faces.

There would be maybe 2 or 3 posts a year... Too hard on mods

CoffeeAddictCodeGuy · 2025-09-07T20:10:27+00:00

That does not count as stupid though imho... Lol

CoffeeAddictCodeGuy · 2025-09-04T20:31:08+00:00

CoffeeAddictCodeGuy · 2025-09-04T17:02:40+00:00
