UPDATED GUIDE: Using the Adafruit FunHouse with Home Assistant #AdafruitLearningSystem #IoT #ESP32-S2 @home_assistant #HomeAutomation @Adafruit @CircuitPython @esp32s2 @MakerMelissa
The Adafruit FunHouse is the ideal companion to your Home Assistant setup. You can send not just the temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure using the onboard sensors, but you can also map the attached buttons, slider, and capacitive touch pads to control different parts of your home. You can also use the PIR Sensor to detect motion.
This guide explains how to configure your FunHouse to work with Home Assistant to send environmental data, trigger home automation events using the onboard sensors, and even use the embedded DotStars to emulate an RGB lightbulb that you can control with Home Assistant.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
