Ratgdo for my garage door (https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/). So simple but it works so well. Blows MyQ and OpenGarage out of the water
Those seems nice products, but wow, they cost quite a lot!
Most of these products are made by individual entrepreneurs or small businesses. They don’t have economies of scale, so each product is hand made, which makes things more expensive.
Oh, I didn't know, thanks for the information.
If you're more into making your own circuit boards, there's a project that provides open schematics for RatGDO that uses the same ESPhome firmware.

JLCPCB had a sale on PCB assembly and I was able to order 5 boards assembled and ready to go for about $25. I already had the ESP microcontrollers, just had to add three wires, flash the controller, and solder it to the board.
It unlocked so much more control over the MyQ integration. It actually showed me how much of a joke the MyQ app is considering how much more can be done with $10 worth of parts and code that random people on the internet made.
I have installed 3 of these now. A little expensive for an outright cost, but well worth it when you see how easily it integrates with the garage door openers. You can a ton of information out of it and some other goodies like parking sensors. They did a great job of making it really easy to install and straight forward to add to Home Assistant. You save a ton of money in the long run over a MyQ subscription.
I have one of these but haven’t set it up yet. MyQ is so annoying.
@tj @homeassistant Athom energy monitoring wifi smart plugs for triggering other actions based on energy usage.
m5stack Atom Echo for a voice assistant.
I'm not buying athom now. Out of the 8 plugs I bought from them 5 are bricked. Looking at Shelly now.
@canatella wow. Any idea how they bricked? I'm still new to ESPhome and learning the ropes but I didn't see any complaints about Athom before I purchased them.
That bed sensor is looking awfully tasty, thanks sharing!
An Everything Presence One & a Lite from Everything Smart Home, a MSR-1 and a H-1 from Apollo Automation and a Ratgdo for my garage door, all working great. Plus a few home made bits here and there, love this platform.
Well, I'm not a company, but I use my own creation: https://nowsci.com/only-sensor/
The post about it was here if you're interested: https://lemmy.world/post/23499799
Air Gradient One for monitoring my home’s air quality in home assistant.
Have a bunch of KAUF Smart Bulbs that come pre-flashed with ESPHome
Also have a bunch of SonOff S31's and a bunch of Treatlife 3-way in-wall switches running ESPHome, but those both all required opening them up and making jigs to reflash them over to ESPHome from the stock firmwares.
(Edit: Plus a ton of custom ESPHome boards and piles-o-wires running ESPHome)
I have 4 plugs from athom.tech . I'm in the US and they work great with HA.
