on A bit of a frustrating day trying to get my ESP32 Atom Echo working with Home Assistant. · c/homeassistant · 1 pts · 2y@bazcurtis @homeassistant@fosstodon.org @homeassistant@a.gup.pe @homeassistantinpills @homeassistant@lemmy.world I highly recommend trying it. It opens a new world of possibilities. You can make both devices that are much cheaper than their counterparts available to buy, and ones that are not available at all (combine a few sensors/components in a mix that is not generally available).

On the HA side you need to set up pipelines, it is described in the year of the voice blog post.

on I thought the [#HomeAssistant](https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant) HomeKit Bridge Integration was meant to import all your devices from HomeKit? · c/homeassistant · 3 pts · 2y@bazcurtis @homeassistant@fosstodon.org @homeassistant@lemmy.world @homeassistant@a.gup.pe You can only pair homekit device to one system (so either your home on Apple device or Home Assistant). You can pair it to HA, then re-expose to Apple Home via HomeKit bridge in HA.
