Yes I want lecithin but it's very hard to find here in New Zealand. And, I bought granules once, but after a month or so they had gone bad and became a big clump. Do you use granules or powder? And guessing you use soy lecithin?
I also use Guar + Xanthan. Makes a difference.
Also I use Maltodextrin in low fat ice creams to increase smoothness, that really helps!
Nice! I'm using a similar recipe as basis for fruit based ice creams. So about half coconut cream and half fruit.
I use xanthan and guar to make it less icy, and maltodextrin to make it creamier.
Hmm yeah you're right, doesn't show a cloud dependency. However, I found it still very slow.
I have it standing up right and it can control the heat pump fine which is above it. It could also control the TV which was on the same height about 4 meters away (as long as nobody was in between).
But I do experience that sometimes the heat pump doesn't pick it up, e.g. in my morning automation to turn it on, I'm just setting it twice. It's rare though, it works 97% of the time.
Good idea! Have a look at the smartir integration, which has all the codes for some heat pumps. Not mine, so had to create the JSON manually with all commands, which is quite a bit of work.
Smartir integration allows you to use it as a thermostat in HA.
Yes, got the Broadlink integration. Commands take about 0.5-1 second. For heat pump is fine, but to control TV + Android TV + Sound is super slow.
Where can you see if it has Local Polling? First time I heard about that.
Yeah, pretty cool stuff to cut them from the cloud. However, beware, it's another rabbit hole. Took me quite some time to get my head around it. I started with a simple ESP32 board and a height sensor for my standing desk to understand ESPHome.
The Aubess one works on the cloud as well.
To install ESPHome you need to do:
Install LibreTiny on your RPI, this is a fork of ESPHome that allows for Tuya based devices. See: https://docs.libretiny.eu/
Get a Linux environment. I installed dual boot on my PC with Ubuntu. I tried on my RPI but ran into a zillion issues. It could work on a VPC on Windows.
Use ltchiptool to generate a YAML for your specific device.
There's a very handy Discord channel for any questions.
So far I've flashed a relay, a Brilliant smart plug from Bunnings, and that Aubess IR controller.
For the IR controller you'll have to learn all commands manually by pressing the button, reading the ESPHome log which displays the command string received by the IR receiver, and then make that a service in your ESPHome yaml.
