It's a bit sad how deserted this community is, would love to connect more with other makers.
Let's rattle the cage a bit, who of you is here, and what are you working on?
I'll start: A wireless cryptographic keystore & signer. Keys are generated with the hardware RNG and stored AES-encrypted with the user's password, and you can request signatures via BLE.
I attached an esp + relay to my garage door. It is probably the first project where I really use an esp. I flashed it with Tasmota, but don't really nike it. I have no home assistant or similar running, so I open the webpage manually...
ugh having to pull up a website is tedious, you could maybe try using BLE. tasmota/esphome is nice if you use their whole ecosystem.
It's not that bad. I have a link on my home screen. It is one extra click. I still whish I had a widget or something...
if you're using Android, check out MacroDroid, you could create a custom widget that sends a http request to it
