Is there a FOSS/privacy oriented IoT community? (lemm.ee)

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.

Are you looking for !selfhosted@lemmy.world or !homeassistant@lemmy.world

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.

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.

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