DIY ESPHome Volume knob - part 1

DIY ESPHome Volume knob - part 1

#ad Thanks to PCBWay for making my beautiful design possible !! (https://www.pcbway.com)

After doing the Controlpad I wanted to make it more attractive to the eye but simpler with only one knob. With more leds to give you an indication on the percentage of the volume or dimmer you are controlling. (You can control every slider in home assistant.)

Part 1: We are designing and soldering the pcb.
hope you like the video, if you do pls like and subscribe or support me on patreon, so i can continue in making these video's.

In part 2: We will do the design of the case and do the coding to make it come to life.
