Hey all,

A couple of weeks ago I posted my 3D printable pegboard organizers, and today I’m releasing the Only Sensor line of home automation sensors.

Fully free and open, complete with wiring diagrams, cases, component bill of materials, and instructions for assembly.

You source and build them yourself, with acquisition costs ranging from $2-$35 to build, and options for:

mmWave presence
PIR motion detection
Temperature
Humidity
LUX
PM <10µm AQI
PM <2.5µm AQI
PM <1µm AQI
NOX
VOC

All integrate with Home Assistant via ESPHome.

All the details can be found at: https://nowsci.com/only-sensor/

No, why?

Because DFU exists. We shouldn't need an idle Bluetooth radio and proprietary arbitrary code execution to update the firmware on a device.

There are so many unnecessary attack vectors involved in this process, it should raise some red flags.
