Is there a community specific to FOSS or just general privacy oriented IoT? With plenty of hardware discussion along with software. Routers, piholes, Meshtastic, anything IoT but open source. If it touches a network but you want it to do something it doesn’t. Flashing a doorbell camera with FOSS firmware. Hosting media servers on your phones Hotspot. Loading gcode to a printer from anywhere. There are so many things and possibilities.
If there isn’t someone should start one, OpenIoT or something catchy and relevant.
I know, Meshtastic is almost entirely built on esp32 devices. Where is the community for this ecosystem? If there isn’t one on a widely federated instance there should be.
Matrix(#meshtastic:matrix.org) and their forum
Also, meshtastic is not only esp32, but also nrf which is really cool
There’s also [email protected], but it’s inactive at the moment.
