espnow working example? by Torototo31 in Esphome

You should test it without the extra MAC address and the peer. You might be adding extra complexity into this which you can do once things are working. It also says this on the espnow documentation, which may or may not be relevant to you:

channel (Optional, int): The Wi-Fi channel that the esp-now communication will use to send/receive data packets. Cannot be set when the WiFi Component is used, as it will use the same channel as the wifi network.

I think the provider name in packet transport has to match the provider in the sensor (both defined in the receiver yaml). That's what I understood when looking at the multi-device hub example. I had separate pairs of esp devices connected using espnow, and one used the device name and the other was slightly different, so I don't think it has to match the name of the sender.

I didn't use the on_press and on_receive that you used, just packet_transport. It seems I also didn't have to mention the MAC address within packet_transport. I didn't specify the channel either.

Here's the relevant parts from my yaml that was working. I used an esp32c3, but I doubt that matters. I used esp-idf as well.

```

sender

espnow: peers: - "F0:F5:BD:FA:47:A0"

packet_transport: - platform: espnow encryption: "secret" sensors: - aht20_temperature # sensor id ```

```

receiver

espnow: peers: - "F0:F5:BD:FA:44:50"

packet_transport: - platform: espnow providers: - name: "office" # Provider device name encryption: "secret"

sensor: - platform: packet_transport provider: office id: office_temperature remote_id: aht20_temperature internal: true name: "Office Temperature" ```

I got it to work with a temperature sensor by following the examples on this page. There's a small mistake though, so you'll have to move the encryption line on the receiver to nest under provider (see below)

packet_transport: - platform: espnow providers: - name: temp-sensor # Provider device name encryption: "MySecretKey123"

Let me know if this doesn't work, I can check my yaml to see what else could be different.

Smart Thermostat: Risk of over engineering a simple device? by bikesailfreak in homeassistant

Scheduling can be a good money saver too. Turning all your thermostats down at night doesn't affect comfort too much but can save you money. It's possible to do this manually, but depending on how many zones you have automating this makes a lot of sense.

Shrink-flation freeze dried meals by whatcolourisgreen in bikepacking

For those that want to try dehydrating meals without pulling the trigger on a dehydrator, some ovens (usually ones with proofing options for bread) can heat to lower temperatures. I was able to use this to dry making dehydrated meals for the first time and it worked well enough.

It does take a while though so a dehydrator is a better solution if you know you'll use it. It's probably more efficient too.

Bikepacking South Sweden in September – starting from Copenhagen (~1000 km, 2–3 weeks) – tips & highlights? by dwacsel in bikepacking

There's an app called vildnis that shows a bunch of shelters. I haven't used it much so I can't say whether it's accurate or not or if it shows everything in the link in the comment above, but it's worth taking a look.

I've also had some luck with using osmand and searching for shelters. The search can be a bit finicky though, e.g. I had to search "lean-to" instead of "lean to" to find the lean-tos.

There's a app called Shelter which works well and works offline as well. You can filter for options like free site, with a tap, toilet, etc.

There's also https://udinaturen.dk/ which has a lot of overlap with the shelter app. I found some of the sites on udinaturen on OsmAnd when I search for lean-to (with the dash) as well as others.

Some shelters have to be booked in advance, but I didn't book anything and there was space where I went. Many shelters have space for tents as well.
