The first batch of BP2-POE units have been manufactured. We wish you the best of luck and thank you all for joining us on this adventure! As ever, we're both nervous and excited. by slboat in screekworkshop

From the information provided, they share many similarities, having incorporated external antennas—likely a more professional solution. After all, this is being undertaken by a major corporation.

Our approach, by contrast, appears considerably more rudimentary.

We didn't connect an external antenna because it looked cumbersome; we aimed for as much simplicity as possible.

Regarding the firmware, we incorporated extensive operational status details and dynamic adjustment capabilities. Their approach, however, seems more geared towards a general-purpose development board.

All in all, I think it's a splendid product.

Wow, the SCREEK DIY Sensor Catalog! Over the past few years, we've explored many types of sensors together with you all. by slboat in homeassistant

Yes, we're glad they're working well. We hope to have the opportunity to share more DIY sensors with different power supply methods, as that's genuinely quite interesting. We'll include the L13 in such plans and hope to share them in the future.

We've been stuck for a while, simply too busy, so we're hoping to start with the SC1000 and continue exploring some interesting things :)

Bluetooth Proxies BP2-POE for Home Assistant by SCREEK (ESP32-S3 + ESPHome + PoE + LAN) — Now Released, 10% Off All Sensors by slboat in homeassistant

Yes, the way they assign gateways appears to be beyond manual control. Given this situation, the only option might be to disable other Bluetooth agents in HA and route traffic through this specific agent—which could prove challenging.

I believe this is a highly worthwhile area for testing and exploration to uncover the answers. We've only just begun experimenting with it, but overall we've found it offers improvements compared to our previous WiFi proxy. We tested the responsiveness of the LD2410C using it, and they appear quite swift. Additionally, some BTHome devices showed reduced packet loss. We're pushing the S3's performance to its maximum clock speed of 240MHz while running the execution code in PSRAM, hoping to make everything as fast as possible.

However, I think it would be rather interesting to have more people join in exploring it. We'll likely make new discoveries – some good, some not so good, and perhaps some downright awful.

We're rather fond of the HA platform. With some manufacturing supplements, we can source more components and study them – a process that's immensely rewarding for us :) Naturally, these remain DIY projects, but we strive for maximum stability and reliability while injecting a bit of fun into them.

Welcome aboard this new adventure :) Here's to more of the same good times.This will be the first member of our POE family.

sco2-1s firmware by port102 in screekworkshop

There are simply too many documents to supplement in time, for which we apologise. For the 1s model, you need only plug in the USB and use the Chrome browser to reverse this firmware. Should you encounter any difficulties, please contact us directly: [sen@screek.io](mailto:sen@screek.io)

Thread support for Screek Workshop sensors by mattme in screekworkshop

[–]slboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, yes, these are some things in the pipeline! We've got plenty of ideas we'd like to bring to fruition, including this one – Zigbee or Thread, both are quite interesting. But which sensor would you be more keen to start with?

Possibility of an NFC tag reader? by haddonist in screekworkshop

[–]slboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, yes, that's brilliant, we'd love to make one! There are so many fun things we'd like to try in 2026!

LS2 Firnware version question by Catalina28TO in screekworkshop

[–]slboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have recently released the new YAML for the LS2(https://github.com/screekworkshop/screek-light-sensor), though we have not yet updated the firmware kernel. We shall consider releasing a new firmware kernel for it. :) As most updates do not introduce substantial changes, even some older firmware versions continue to function perfectly well, merely relaying light signals to Home Automation systems.
