    UPDATE:
    I was able to create my own variant under DYI. I took a look at the ai-c3 ( Core1262-868M ) and DIY v1_1 (esp32doit-devkit-v1) variant and combined them into a working configuration.

    I’m going to call this new variant of the firmware, “aspec”. Simply because when I first found out about this project, I assumed the SX1262 Core1262-868M and wroom-32 would just work out of the box with one of the million firmware variants available. “Amazon Special” ( aspec )

    I also have a GPS that I’d like to add, so I’m going to keep playing around before I submit anything to the metastatic firmware repo.






  • I’ve come across devices where they will stop functioning or flood my network with DNS requests if they can’t reach their baked in addresses. I setup a redirect rule to handle that. ANY 53 request gets redirected to my DNS server. I’ve had similar issue with NTP and had to do the same.

    At the same time they are assigned an IP that’s part of a subnet that has a rule preventing access to WAN. It allows me to “contain” my smart home devices but continue to work as much as possible on LAN without it freaking out.


  • Why not just set up a static IP on the TV and a rule on your router to prevent it from talking to the internet? That way it has LAN access but not WAN. This will allow airplay to work, but keep your TV dumb.

    I do this to all of my smart devices.

    I know people don’t like Apple, but I use an ATV on all of my TVs, leaving the TV itself “restricted” from WAN access.
