I've got a couple of spare Wii balance boards lying around, and I want to replace the guts with an ESP home board hooked into its load cells to it into home assistant as a weight sensor.

My goal is to convert them to litterbox stands So I can get metrics on which litter boxes are being used and when. Any recommendations?

UART Man-in-the-middle with ESPHome? (lemmy.world)

Hey all,

i want to hack a portable AC. The devices communicates via UART between Mainboard and control unit (LCD and Buttons). As we still want to use the original controls, i had the idea to put an ESP32 in the middle of the communication (using UART2 for the mainboard and UART3 for the control board).

I don't want to reverse engineer the whole protocol, only the relevant parts. So, i need a way to forward all messages in both directions, to make this work as it should.

Has anybody done such a thing already? Or has any tips how to do it.

I'm fluent in C++, so there is not barrier here, but i am new to the codebase of ESPHome
