Moving My Sensor Network onto Manifold

Thu Sep 17 10:08:00 2026

I moved my working LoRaWAN sensor network onto the new Manifold framework and pointed Home Assistant at it as the interface. The port went smoothly until the OAuth protection on the mesh blocked the inbound webhooks Helium uses to deliver readings. The fix was to let a mesh owner scope access channel by channel, and the pico engine now supports it.

A Map of the Manifold Environment

Wed Aug 5 08:35:00 2026

A reader asked for a map of the whole Manifold environment and the functional capabilities of each part. I have described this system across three posts, a piece at a time, but never in one picture.

Using Home Assistant with Manifold

Mon Aug 3 07:50:00 2026

Manifold is evolving into a proper framework for building meshes of picos, and Home Assistant gives those meshes an interface. A new Home Assistant integration proves out three pieces at once: an OAuth workflow on the pico-engine that lets outside software into the mesh on the owner's terms, a mature interface rather than a custom one, and a pattern that lets specialized communities extend the platform.

Manifold API and Sensor Network: Two New Repos

Tue Jun 9 09:14:00 2026

Cleaning up manifold-api as a prerequisite for the spring conversational interface Capstone turned into a complete platform update: Pico Engine 1.0 compatibility, automated bootstrap, centralized notifications, and a Docker-based integration test harness. Once the platform was solid, the old temperature-network had an obvious new home inside Manifold's community framework, so I rewrote it too as an example of how Manifold can be a framework for pico networks.
