Build the Satellite1 Together
Very impressed with the product itself. The ship time was extremely sluggish and updates didn't work for a while, but out of the box the package was impressive. I wish ESP home builder current version was somewhere close to the extremely behind version compatible with the satellite one product, but at least they flash it beforehand and you don't have to even mess with it really. Everything's pretty simple and straightforward.
Great board as the hat. I also really enjoy the software: easy setup, config in Home Assistant, etc. I was surprised by all the ring animations and sounds that increase even more user experience.
I'm very happy with it: it has many functionalities, great extension possibilities, quality, etc.
Great charger with all the functionalities to be future proof for a long time!
Took a while to arrive in Canada, but no extra import costs incurred. So far, I've fit it into myh squircle (?) enclosure and tested only the most basic HA integration. I am running everything locally, and need to redeploy HA from a very old mini to a much more substantial PC.
