Monitoring HVAC system with ESPHome

Using ESPHome to Monitor HVAC System

Here’s a quick “show-and-tell” about a recent project I completed.

The concept

I’m not sure how I first came across the idea of measuring air pressure drop across a filter to gauge its remaining life, but I remember thinking it was a great idea.

The idea has been lurking in the back of my mind for a while, but I never got around to implementing it… until now.

Watch Band RFID fob

Watch Band RFID fob

This is a quick project to create a wearable RFID fob that can be easily attached to a watch band. The idea is to have a small RFID tag that can be used for various purposes, such as access control or identification that is - more or less - as convenient as a surgically implanted tag, but without the need for embedding anything in your body.
