I already do that crap all day at work. The last thing I want to do is do it to my coffee maker or something.
That's exactly what I want to do! I saw a post some years ago, someone had connected a ~ESP32 (or the like) to their coffee maker, connected it to the WiFi and made an app to remote controll it.
I want to do something similar. Prepp the coffee in the evening, set a time for the machine to start and then have fresh coffee when I wake up. I realise that I could just do all of this and just press the button when I wake up instead, but the idea of this makes me happy.
If I want coffee in the morning I just fill my French press the night before with cold water.
And they’ve made drip coffee makers with timers for decades. No WiFi needed.
The whole point is to make it because I want to. As I said, I can just prepare my MoccaMaster the day before and the coffee will be one button press away in the morning.
It's a do it once thing, though... ESPHome essentially keeps everything updated and secure.
