Just read about this and was wondering if anyone has tried it. Pros/cons/notes? This seems pretty neat on the surface and I plan on trying it myself.
Yes, yes And YES!!
This is really great. Grab some boards with an external antenna, I guess the S3 variants are the best.
This guy is really active and thorough.
Home Assistant integration is a wip, right now the cyd is a topic.
Star, follow and try it!
Awesome. Good to hear good things about it. I have some spare ESPs laying around to try this on so I guess I know what I’m doing this weekend.
Well shit… There goes my weekend…
All I get after following the documentation, is a compiler error:
CMake Error at /data/external_components/fd3660ad/src/cpp/espectre_git_version.cmake:62 (message): Unable to resolve ESPectre version from git describe, and the SDK header is not stamped. Fetch numeric tags (`git fetch --tags`), pass -DESPECTRE_GIT_VERSION=..., or set ESPECTRE_GIT_VERSION in the environment. fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything. Call Stack (most recent call first): /data/external_components/fd3660ad/src/cpp/CMakeLists.txt:101 (include) /data/external_components/fd3660ad/src/cpp/frontend/esphome/components/espectre/CMakeLists.txt:6 (include) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! cmake failed with exit code 1, output of the command is in the /data/build/testesp/build/log/idf_py_stderr_output_12018 and /data/build/testesp/build/log/idf_py_stdout_output_12018 ERROR Component discovery failedEdit: Managed to work around it. Now it actually detects movement! Just be aware this project looks like it’s cooked up with a lot of AI assistance. There’s a million pages of documentation, mostly convoluted and repetitive while telling slightly different things to do… And a compiler error is never a good first impression… It seems to work, though!
Now I have to find a few spare ESPs, which aren’t already doing BLE or something, and see what kind of strain it puts on my wifi network.
