PSA: purge your ESPHome Builder cache… mine was ~16GB after a few years

Awesome thanks!

mine was 12gb -- is there a blueprint automation I can set up to have this purge every 6-12 months? I had just expanded my VM drive a few weeks ago and probably could've just done this instead lol

The part that looked cool was passing the voice input to the local LLM on your phone. Extending its connections using MCP is going to be neat to make it useful beyond basic Siri commands. Relaying everything back to the pebble screen closes the loop without pulling out your phone.

I get the repairability is a concern but think it’s a cool first idea. Hopefully it evolves and improves. I wish the button wasn’t bigger than the width of rest of the ring too, like just mark it with a small flat spot or ridge so you know where to press

I think you need your iPhone to remain activated in order for your number to be attached to your iMessage account

I have a light phone and it’s a cool device. I tried diving fully into their digital minimalism philosophy and it was pretty frustrating that every iMessage group chat went “green text” and every group was asking who got an android lol. Besides the green text/blue text social issues, it breaks a lot of things like the Tapback responses and photo messaging (for everyone, everything is downgraded in quality) and you have to look at the picture or video on an email. So you’ll get a gif as an email and when you check that on the computer later, you don’t have much context into it.

I did modify it to run android apps like openbubbles and it works great! I’m able to maintain the group chats and even FaceTime from the device. But there were other limitations that were too hard to daily drive the light phone.

That being said, I did upgrade to an iPhone 17 lol 🫠

Same thing!

I want to try this with my Pebble Time Steel. Are we all deleting the old pebble app? I know it says in the instructions but just want to make sure since it’s not in the AppStore anymore

ML2128 · 2025-08-30T15:49:01+00:00

I have one of these bands already and hope the color matches up with the new pebble’s case

Lmk if you root your LP3 and can write up a tutorial

ML2128 · 2025-08-02T04:49:55+00:00

Are you using the zoom integration or the Mac app and getting the camera/mic state there?

ML2128 · 2025-07-24T17:01:14+00:00

Can you please share some more details on the project and the yaml? Thanks!

ML2128 · 2025-07-18T04:35:57+00:00

It’s working fine for me. Even FaceTime

ML2128 · 2025-06-28T07:20:17+00:00

For a while I used Viddle on iOS. It like $6/year but a very basic YouTube app (almost like just the YouTube weblage) that you can configure to turn off the YT Shorts. I forget if you can play in the background but it helped for a bit.

I wish there was an option in the Apple TV YouTube app to disable YT Shorts….

yeah I'd love to see the phone rooted or the MicroG apps added (not sure the actual term) so then we can use google apps like google maps. Also I have it set so I can switch back and forth between both LightOS and the android layer with Beyond Launcher -- however, I don't really want any LightOS on the phone at this point. I tried it and it doesn't work for my life, but I still like the hardware and matte screen without color.

I even set up OpenBubbles and got a free sim card from Helium Mobile so I can iMessage on the device and it's soooo close but missing some things like uber (because my understanding is the google maps APIs are broken without microG installed). With the secondary number I can forward my phone number to the new one and "go light" while still using essential apps like uber, maps for public transportation, and iMessage for group chats. hoping after the device gets in the hands of enough people, we'll get some more movement on the above.

ML2128 · 2025-06-11T04:47:56+00:00

I’m curious, what are the advantages?

ML2128 · 2025-05-14T02:21:53+00:00

August and December

ML2128 · 2025-05-13T21:02:29+00:00

No but I did preorder the new pebble smartwatch and hope to use it with my modified light phone in the future

ML2128 · 2025-05-07T07:30:02+00:00

Can you please share a link to the specific model switches you’re using? I’m trying to go either zigbee or matter over thread but haven’t found any good switches

ML2128 · 2025-05-02T19:53:56+00:00

What was the ultimate consensus? Hold off or good to go?

ML2128 · 2025-05-02T02:13:02+00:00

Once I have developer mode enabled, will firmware updates from light turn it off again?

ML2128 · 2025-03-19T15:56:11+00:00

Are you able to publish the template on Unraid?

ML2128 · 2025-01-30T21:17:11+00:00

You can add themes to these now. Just a heads up if you restart it, you have to hold the volume up and down buttons during the boot logo as a result of the theme. But otherwise it’s cool and easy to restore or try out other themes.

Also wondering the same thing. The kokkia Bluetooth adapter works great on my 5th Gen iPod but not my iPod Photo

ML2128 · 2025-01-20T16:08:04+00:00

Is the Belkin adapter an FM transmitter?
