It’s already 25DegC in my home office.
The best cooling automation I have so far is to turn the fan on when it’s 25 for >5mins.
Is there a nice zigbee / ESP32 evaporation cooler that I can enjoying setting up with HA?

The roof above my head is probably close to 40DegC, but I put 150mm insulation in, so it’s not toooo bad at the mo
That’s where the external heat’s coming from.
The internal heat is me, a laptop under heavy load (corp security = noticable% CPU), some monitors and the NAS (which is now on automated power on / off cycles to reduce heat)
But yeah, we have no AC. We only have a few weeks in the year like this - at scattered random times - so it’s not worth installing. Next week we might be back down to 15DegC
And if I put a unit in my window then I’ll basically be living in a dungeon.
Just to mention it again, through-wall is an option…
But, if overheat conditions are not that often, still might not be worth cost of installation.
Might consider a low-tech solution such as putting a bowl of ice cubes in front of the fan so the air passes over the bowl before hitting either you or equipment. 🤷♂️
