0/n: As excitement about the Matter release for the Smart Home continues to build, we have put together a series of posts that look at various aspects of #MatterIoT.
I will keep adding to this list as we make subsequent posts each week. @csaiot #IoT #ESP32 @EspressifSystem

Espressif Systems releases an open-source version of ESP RainMaker
cnx-software.com/2026/08/06/…
ESP RainMaker Neo is actually a new implementation, but with the same hybrid mobile app SDK and similar device-side APIs. It gives customers more flexibility and control, as they can deploy it to their own AWS IoT instance, or even adjust the source code if needed.
Note that existing ESP RainMaker (Classic) deployments cannot be directly migrated to Neo, so it's best suited for new products.

“I think the most exciting piece about any smart home technology is not that you can just control one device at a time. It’s that when all of these devices understand each other and automatically adapt themselves to the user’s preferences, that's where the fun is. I think Matter can brilliantly enable those kinds of interactions, which will make the smart home really magical.”
Alliance Member @EspressifSystems' Kedar Sovani, Sr. Director of Engineering, discusses how #Matter helps create a more seamless #smarthome experience by enabling devices to work together more intelligently, making #interoperability easier for developers and more intuitive for consumers.

“Matter allows us an opportunity where even single-person companies can launch products worldwide that are very safe, very reliable, and work with all the existing controllers or ecosystems out there.”
Promoter Member @EspressifSystem's Kedar Sovani, Senior Director of Engineering, IoT Ecosystems, shares how #Matter is helping democratize #IoT by enabling developers of all sizes to build interoperable products for a global market.

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.
My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.
So, here goes.

Espressif Systems launches ESP Private Agents for ESP32-powered local or hybrid voice AI assistants.
cnx-software.com/2025/12/15/…
ESP Private Agents platform to help developers build local, private, and customizable AI assistants for ESP32 hardware. The solution is built on AWS cloud services using AWS Fargate as a primary application platform and Amazon Bedrock Foundation Models as backend LLM systems.
The company provides a web-based online demo, and also uploaded a neat video demo showing a multilingual voice AI assistant running on the ESP32-S3-powered EchoEar devkit.

The @makerville_io badge will be at the @ZephyrIoT Pune meetup at the @EspressifSystem offices
No coincidence that the badge is an esp32c3 running Zephyr 😎

Naval never chased a traditional career.
He didn’t climb ladders.
He didn’t aim for a corner office.
He didn’t wait for retirement to finally “live.”
Because he saw what most people don’t:
“Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow.”

My Git story: the year was 2006. @jiteshs_ and I were participating in a bunch of coding competitions.
For PICT's OPUS, we built a file-splitting program based on Hamming codes, to move around large files on floppy disks. It was beautiful.
But we didn't know anything about version control and would write code in folders "opus_final", "opus_latest", "opus_final final" and so on.
Inevitably, we took the wrong version with us to the competition and failed.
That's when we decided we needed to get serious about version control.
Early 2007, we were lucky enough to get @kedarsovani as a mentor (Go Dreamz group!)
He introduced us to git. We had no idea this was a "hot new thing". We didn't know what DVCS meant. We just absolutely loved what it unlocked for us. Forever grateful to Kedar for this.
In 2008, I joined Symantec. My team used CVS. After a full year of using git, i wasn't going to go back.
So I spent nights and weekends working to setup the git-cvs bridge on cygwin. The team would continue using CVS, and I would continue using Git, and none would be the wiser!
The amount I learned in this process made me a complete Git convert, and possibly set me up with a lifetime's love for tooling.
I love Git. Happy 20th birthday you magnificent beast.
I was a student back then. Although it sucks that you have to understand its internals to use it effectively - for me it was inspiring to see a real use of data structures and algorithms we were learning.
We had just covered DAGs and now we had a real-world example of its use.
We were learning about cryptography and hey, git uses SHA for commit hashes and security.
Never heard of immutable data structures before but now I knew i needed to learn about them.

Nvidia CEO: Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character.
Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.

.@EspressifSystem ESP LowCode Matter aims to simplify the development of Matter devices based on ESP32 SoCs.
cnx-software.com/2025/04/01/…
It does so by splitting the system firmware handling Matter, wireless, OTA updates, and security, and the application firmware with hardware interface and application logic. Development can be done in a web browser or the VS Code IDE. Right now, only ESP32-C6 is supported. #smarthome
All of the above, make it much easier to start building your Matter connected devices.
You can get started by following the README here: github.com/espressif/esp-low…
