TL;DR
[SpannerSpencer] created a smart home control device inspired by the iconic Comm Badge from *Star Trek: The Next Generation*. This project integrates a metal comm badge with an M5StickC PLUS2, an ESP32 development kit, allowing for a unique and nostalgic way to manage smart home commands without relying on constant voice activation. The M5Stick is worn under the shirt, with its magnet holding the badge in place, while the badge itself functions as an input device.
