POE ESPHome Ceiling-Mounted Smart Home Sensor: Thermal Imaging, Smoke Detection & More!

In this video, I showcase my advanced ceiling-mounted smart home sensor featuring:
• Thermal imaging with Sauron's Eye technology
• Temperature & humidity monitoring (DHT22)
• CO2 level detection
• Light sensing (LDR)
• Smoke detection with audio alerts
• Custom 3D printed case with easy mounting system

Watch as I demonstrate real-time thermal imaging, analyze a week's worth of sensor data, and show how everything integrates with Home Assistant. I'll also share my challenges with temperature readings and how I solved them.

🛠 Project Highlights:
Custom PCB design
ESP integration
Real-time thermal imaging web interface
Complete home automation integration
Smoke detection system with smart home triggers
