I'm wanting to add a bunch of energy monitoring stuff so I can both track costs, and maybe implement automation to turn stuff on and off based on power costs and timing.

I'm using some TPlink based plugs right now which are like, fine, but I'm wanting to add something like 6 to 10 more monitoring devices/relays.

Anyone have experience with a bunch of shelly devices and if there's any weird behavior I should be aware of?

Assume I have good enough wifi to handle adding another 10 devices to it, but beyond that any gotchas?

Hello,

I'm looking for a ZigBee keypad and RFC tag for my alarm. I'm using zigbee2mqtt and alarmo. Any suggestion ? Thanks !

Based on https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/releases/tag/1.39.0

Thanks to Smart Home Junkie's video (invidious link), I had my Atom Echos as voice recognition boxes with all audio output redirected to a media player of my choice (because the audio on the Echo is super quiet).

Whenever ESPHome updated, I updated my Echos to get the recent ESPHome updates, and then reinstalled the custom yaml for audio redirection.

However, with ESPHome's recent 2024.6.4 update, trying to install the yaml triggers errors that don't seem to make sense. For example, here's a section of the yaml: ``` microphone:

• platform: i2s_audio id: echo_microphone_kitchen i2s_din_pin: GPIO23 adc_type: external pdm: true

speaker:

• platform: i2s_audio id: echo_speaker_kitchen i2s_dout_pin: GPIO21 dac_type: external mode: mono

On lines 3 and 10 I define unique IDs for the device's microphone and speaker.

But ESPHome won't compile, telling me:

• on line 46: Too many candidates found for 'id' type 'speaker::Speaker' Some are 'echo_speaker', 'echo_speaker_kitchen'.
• on line 57: Too many candidates found for 'id' type 'speaker::Speaker' Some are 'echo_speaker', 'echo_speaker_kitchen'.
• on line 77: Too many candidates found for 'id' type 'microphone::Microphone' Some are 'echo_microphone', 'echo_microphone_kitchen'.
• on line 90: Too many candidates found for 'id' type 'speaker::Speaker' Some are 'echo_speaker', 'echo_speaker_kitchen'.

There are no other occurrences of the word "speaker" or "microphone" in the conf yaml (and I'm not including other yaml files).

I'm assuming most of this config is default, and the only things I care about are forcing pin 21 for the speaker (line 11) and redirecting audio to my media player (lines 45-52).
