Time to say Thank You to the Homeassitant community for inspiration and support this year. I was able to learn a lot thanks to great people and would like to give something back to you here.
The motivation for this project is due to the defect of my weather station and thus the end of the weather display in the living room. Since we were lacking this information, I decided to bundle the Smart Home components and also information from my data science work.
So it was obvious to set up the new information centre in the living room using ESPHome and Homeassistant.
Have fun with tinkering and programming... :)
