I’ve done a number of ESPHome projects (coffee maker, fireplace, garage door, temp sensors, etc) and I’m looking for some ideas on what to try next. What have been your favorite ESPHome projects that you’ve worked on?

    I have a e-ink screen next to my office door that displays the date, or a warning icon when I’m in a meeting. It uses the “camera in use”/“microphone in use” entity from the desktop app for meeting detection.

    My kids really like it.

        It’s a 4.2 inch e-ink screen from waveshare driven by an ESP running ESPHome. Nothing fancy, really. I used to change it “manually”, but the lightbulb moment happened when I realized I had the entities I needed in the HA desktop app.
