Zoom H1n as a USB Microphone
I have a Zoom H1n, which I have used for recording things on the go. But one of the features is to use it as a USB microphone, which I knew about but had not tried. This week, I tried. It was easy and worked really well. I am making a note here for future me and anyone else.

Roomba Combo j7 with Home Assistant
