On: Building an occupancy sensor with a $5 ESP32 and a serverless DB

Agree with you fully. It's also a lot more easy to program behavior into an esp32 rather than rely on home assistant pre defined modules.

It's more about ESPHome rather than Home Assistant.

But yeah it is more fun to do it bare bones :). However, over time I found myself "upgrading" my hand made IoT devices to more standard solutions. Standard solutions usually work better.
