Finally got my ESPHome based e-nail up and running. This solution is fully integrated with Home Assistant, allows control via MQTT, built-in web interface, or on the device itself using the screen and rotary encoder. Next steps are building out settings menus on the screen itself and working through a few electrical gremlins with erroneous ground fault errors from the MAX31855 at higher temperatures

      Thanks! I was shocked by how easy it was to get up and running so massive props to the Nabu Casa team that created the ESPHome framework (and Home Assistant!). Once I get this cleaned up a bit and successfully 3D print the case, I’ll throw all of this on Gitlab so others can make their own smart e-nail.

      I’m hoping to also design a PCB so that all these components can just be dropped into place with minimal soldering required and I want to move to a bigger screen / touchscreen
