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.

Kind of, there’s a lot of relevant posts that would be good cross posts. But they really concentrate on just networking and software. Id like a place that’s also a lot of hardware tinkering.

The company behind Home Assistant also maintains ESPHome, so I’m sure hardware hacking conversations are welcome.

I’m on mobile and autocomplete isn’t available on this app, but there’s some hardware specific communities. Also, this is Lemmy, I know that I appreciate cross-posting, so always do it when you can.
