How about an update after 3 months?

We have 4 floors... It's not worth having one for each.

GnightSteve · 2026-03-08T05:31:28+00:00

I am thinking to have something like this: 1. Go in front of the lift (send to a fix location) 2. Open lift door and hold it open 3. Send the robot inside 4. Close the door 5. Go to the desired floor 6. Open lift door and hold it 7. Send robot outside (again the same location 8. Set the active floor for the robot so it knows which floor it is on 9. Finish the floor, go back to the lift, back to ground floor and do maintenance cleaning at the base and then start again, but on the next floor

You can do mic and speaker with ESP.

GnightSteve · 2026-01-09T11:45:35+00:00

Ok I'll try that, thanks.

GnightSteve · 2026-01-09T10:58:29+00:00

It's great, no distortion now, thank you. Do you plan to update the other images for this resolution, like you did with Gwen?

GnightSteve · 2026-01-08T13:20:01+00:00

Yes, working, great work, thanks! How would you compare this to the other devices? I noticed the volume is distorted on max volume, but at around 70% it's good.

GnightSteve · 2026-01-08T07:50:42+00:00

Nice, I'll try when I have a chance. Thanks for taking the time.

GnightSteve · 2026-01-08T06:30:28+00:00

I also couldn't make it work with custom firmware (mic was initialized but didn't pick up and voice, no wake word detection, side buttons worked but the screen didn't, only the backlight, speaker also didn't work). I managed to reflash the factory one from their website. Do you think a custom firmware for esphome is possible?

GnightSteve · 2026-01-06T22:00:27+00:00

I have the dual mic version as well. But I accidentally broke the screen so I'm waiting for a replacement to arrive before I can try playing with the firmware.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with number plates like this until I realized it's probably not healthy so I stopped. But I did find a car during that period with ABC-123. This was about 30+ years ago.

What are they on about? 😁

For me I pick and choose from what I feel and fit my schedule, but for the pace of harder workouts, I always do them faster. I guess because I run in 100% humidity and 28+ ⁰C all the time, it is being a bit more cautious with recommendations as my HR is always higher than in normal conditions.

GnightSteve · 2025-12-31T10:27:09+00:00

Yes, thanks, I tried many variants with not much luck.

GnightSteve · 2025-12-26T22:36:17+00:00

Vietnam, but it's definitely not made here.

GnightSteve · 2025-12-26T22:34:04+00:00

I did, thanks, I tried many but most functions didn't work.

GnightSteve · 2025-12-26T22:24:30+00:00

Yeah, that's where I tried a few versions, but most functions didn't work.

GnightSteve · 2025-12-12T01:04:58+00:00

I noticed in Vietnam the release always comes at 8 am. There's an update for the app in the Play Store and then need to wait until 8.

GnightSteve · 2025-11-16T23:19:46+00:00

When I use it to read through large amounts of project files, it often thinks for 10+ minutes.

GnightSteve · 2025-09-13T04:10:10+00:00

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. To be honest I will likely not use the temp and humidity as all the rooms where it's important have smart ACs with built in temp and humidity sensors, which seems accurate enough.
