Debugging Long-Uptime ESPHome Devices on ESP32

ESPHome devices that fail after days or weeks usually suffer from accumulated system effects: heap pressure, fragmentation, Wi-Fi instability, blocking components, sensor timing, and weak diagnostics. This guide gives a practical ESP32 long-uptime debugging path.

Building a Multi-I2C Sensor Gateway with ESP32 and ESPHome

A reliable ESP32 and ESPHome multi-I2C sensor gateway is not just about scanning sensor addresses. It needs bus isolation, warm-up windows, deep sleep trade-offs, power design, diagnostic entities, and clear Home Assistant modeling.

ESP32 Energy Metering with HLW8032, BL0942, and ESPHome

ESP32 energy metering with HLW8032, BL0942, and ESPHome is not just about reading voltage, current, power, and energy. This article explains how to design the UART boundary, sampling cadence, Wi-Fi behavior, calibration, diagnostics, and Home Assistant entities as one stable data path.

Choosing Open Voice Hardware for Home Assistant: Voice Preview Edition, DIY Satellites, and ESPHome Voice Nodes

Open voice in Home Assistant is not mainly a board-selection problem. It is a terminal-design problem. This article compares Voice Preview Edition, DIY satellites, and ESPHome voice nodes based on room fit, latency consistency, privacy, and long-term maintenance.

Matter vs Thread vs Zigbee in Home Assistant: What Should You Actually Choose?

Matter, Thread, and Zigbee are all relevant to Home Assistant, but they do not solve the same problem at the same layer. This article compares them from the perspective of device type, ecosystem maturity, local control, border-router dependency, and long-term maintainability.

How to Design a Local-First Smart Home with Home Assistant

A local-first Home Assistant architecture is not the same as trying to remove every cloud service. The stronger pattern is to keep device control, critical automations, state coordination, and recovery paths local while treating cloud services as optional enhancement layers.

ESP32 Modbus RTU Bridge for ESPHome and Home Assistant

Building an ESP32 Modbus-RTU bridge is not mainly about connecting a MAX485 board. The real issues are RS485 electrical design, UART ownership, polling cadence, and the operational boundaries of ESPHome modbus_controller. This article explains how to bridge PLC data into ESPHome and Home Assistant more reliably.
