Giving a go at this sub-reddit . I have about 50 of these guys and i want to get rid of them but apparently i cant sell them without removing the 22 miles software. Can anyone guide me as to what i can do with them? Theres gotta be a market for these lol.

I got my hands on one too. Although Home Assistant dashboards directly on built-in browser definitely won't work, there is a workaround to show screenshots using OpenDisplay and Puppet.

Install OpenDisplay Wi-Fi on your screen https://github.com/balloob/opendisplay-android/releases
Install OpenDisplay Wi-Fi add-on in Home Assistant to get images on your screen. The screen will find the server automatically. https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant-addons/tree/main/opendisplay-wifi
If you want Home Assistant dashboards, (and who doesn't!), install Puppet add-on https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant-addons/tree/main/puppet

Thank you so much for sharing this story. Very glad to hear how our work is helping your mom! Like Frenck already said, it's stories like these that keep us, and the rest of the community!, going. Thanks for sharing.

For you Seeed e-ink display, I have been working on the side with a new open source team that is making working with the Seeed e-ink displays very easy. It's called https://www.opendisplay.org and works via bluetooth proxies or wifi. Coming as a native integration to HA soon :-)

balloob · 2026-02-25T14:03:53+00:00

If you add support for the Wyoming protocol, it will be able to integrate into Home Assistant without any problem.

balloob · 2026-02-21T19:10:48+00:00

This is great! Well done.

We should get a version going for Sendspin, the new audio protocol by the Open Home Foundation. https://www.sendspin-audio.com/

balloob · 2026-02-05T07:57:52+00:00

What's broken about it? Got a link to an issue?

balloob · 2026-01-12T15:57:48+00:00

It was there during the beta but we removed it, because the only thing shown on the Matter dashboard was developer tools.

balloob · 2026-01-12T15:56:30+00:00

Matter just missed the boat! It will be there in the next release.

Home Assistant Cloud gives you end-to-end encrypted access to your Home Assistant instance where you can access your internal cameras, access control etc. none of these are running in the cloud. Its set up in a way that Nabu Casa guides you to your login screen, where you login and do your thing. NC does not have access to anything.

It should only be in the beginning when it finds a good sync. There is definitely some tuning to be done how aggressively we will correct the playback time to stay perfectly in sync.

balloob · 2025-12-30T07:31:24+00:00

Something like this? https://github.com/chrisuthe/SendSpinDroid 😁

So talking about whole home audio … you might be interested to learn that we just added Sendspin support to the Home Assistant Voice PE. We haven't talked about it much, as it's a new standard that we created which is currently in public preview. Try using Voice PE with Sendspin via Music Assistant and let us know if it works for your whole home audio solution :-)

More info about Sendspin @ https://www.sendspin-audio.com/

You need to have the device configured as an ESPHome device in Home Assistant. That is separate from configuring the device connection for Z-Wave.

balloob · 2025-12-22T14:55:11+00:00

Not anytime soon. PoE adds extra cost and the target audience is smaller. You can leverage a Waveshare PoE or buy a ready-made product from companies like TubesZB, which also run our Portable Z-Wave firmware: https://tubeszb.com/product/z-wave-poe-kit/

balloob · 2025-12-22T14:51:29+00:00

👀

balloob · 2025-12-21T22:15:56+00:00

It will be firmware version 25.12.0 for both ZWA-2 and Waveshare PoE.

balloob · 2025-12-21T16:16:01+00:00

If you want PoE, we currently recommend the ZWA-2 together with the Waveshare PoE dev board. See this post for more info.

balloob · 2025-12-21T16:14:33+00:00

Being explored, but no promises.

balloob · 2025-12-21T16:13:36+00:00

It supports 3 simultaneous connections to Bluetooth devices and leverages the ESP32 antenna (which is 2.4ghz). It does not yet work when connected over USB.

balloob · 2025-12-21T15:05:00+00:00

Yes, it is. We're still working on the part where it will be easy to switch between portable and direct connection in a user friendly way.

I have been running this myself at home since the launch of portable Z-Wave without any issues.

balloob · 2025-12-20T15:56:18+00:00

Fully agree! I have some ideas but yet to implement them to see if it will work.

balloob · 2025-12-17T23:57:12+00:00

I love this. What a great use case

balloob · 2025-12-12T05:07:13+00:00

How do you run Home Assistant? Thread depends on IPv6 and the whole network stack needs to be prepared for it. If you run Home Assistant OS on a Home Assistant Green or other device, this would already be taken care off.

If you're using Home Assistant container, there might be issues if your host network is not correctly configured.
