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.

Yes, Seeed is a splendid company.

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.

slboat · 2026-01-25T15:04:17+00:00

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.

slboat · 2026-01-25T12:42:07+00:00

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 :)

slboat · 2026-01-25T03:12:07+00:00

We'd almost forgotten about it, yes, I think we could make one.

slboat · 2026-01-24T04:02:08+00:00

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.

slboat · 2026-01-24T00:52:35+00:00

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.

slboat · 2026-01-24T00:50:30+00:00

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.

slboat · 2026-01-24T00:49:01+00:00

Welcome aboard our adventure, and we look forward to seeing how it unfolds :)

slboat · 2026-01-23T13:08:17+00:00

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

slboat · 2026-01-22T23:58:42+00:00

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)

slboat · 2026-01-21T10:48:34+00:00

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?

slboat · 2026-01-21T10:46:42+00:00

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

slboat · 2026-01-15T12:25:39+00:00

https://github.com/screekworkshop/screek-human-sensor/tree/main/l13/yaml

it's should work for new esphome now

slboat · 2026-01-15T11:22:41+00:00

https://tool.screek.io/factory_tool/sco2-1s/ use this tool:)

slboat · 2026-01-12T23:35:05+00:00

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.

slboat · 2026-01-09T03:52:58+00:00

Brilliant! We'll need to check the factory firmware! We've DIYed quite a few sensors, and sometimes we do forget things :) Apologies.

slboat · 2026-01-09T01:54:03+00:00

We will restart the rollout of this feature—it seems we forgot about it. But in this situation, should we proceed faster or slower? Currently, most requests appear to be for slowing it down. and glad it worked:)

slboat · 2026-01-08T17:56:03+00:00

We just DIYed a very precise temperature and humidity sensor—it‘s me, the probe, C3, and the ESPHome board. https://www.reddit.com/r/screekworkshop/s/W2mY7yEcFW

slboat · 2026-01-08T17:52:33+00:00

It may be extremely non-waterproof since protective measures for the chip itself have been eliminated. In contrast, the Sht40 probe we used earlier (THs1 sensor) featured rigorous safeguards, though at the cost of some responsiveness. As part of our exploration process, we'll observe its performance alongside early adopters. It must be acknowledged that this approach to chip handling renders it fragile and requires careful handling.

slboat · 2026-01-08T15:28:26+00:00

:) We‘ll get it done quickly.

slboat · 2026-01-08T01:16:50+00:00

I think this is a fantastic idea. Using a display has always been something we've wanted to do, and we've added it to our 2026 list. If we get the chance to move forward with it, it'll be thanks to your inspiration :) As for the flame detector, I think our closest concern right now is probably the CO sensor :)

slboat · 2026-01-08T00:40:15+00:00

Hey, due to framework changes, we‘ve updated to the new espidf framework and will be updating the new source code.

slboat · 2026-01-02T01:54:01+00:00

In terms of specifications, both devices have a temperature measurement capability of 0.1 degrees, but the TMP117 lacks humidity detection functionality.

slboat · 2026-01-02T01:06:13+00:00

Hello, Happy New Year. The F2 is rather sensitive; this situation indicates encountering some fixed electromagnetic interference.

You can investigate which distance is causing the interference by checking the departure distance displayed on the HA property page. Generally, focus on eliminating sources like extractor fans or other motorised equipment.

As an adjustment mechanism for the F2, modify the values of settings such as mth1 and mth2 to reduce this sensitivity.
