Hey all,
I'm an enthusiast looking to expand my system. My current build is hacked together with spare parts and lots of ugly glue code.
I like writing software and soldering things, so premade systems don't appeal to me very much. I'm mostly looking for ideas about what to do.
Current build:
A web server that drives the whole system
A bunch of cheap wireless outlet switches with an arduino mediating between a server and the remote
A couple of TCP smart bulbs
An IR blaster that turns on the TV with a Reddit-driven dashboard and plays annoying music when we wake up
Custom dashboards for Fitbit data that display in the living room and bedroom
Old android phones modified to be always-on control panels
Future:
Finish moving lights over to the system (waiting for a month of stability before finishing that)
New things that I haven't thought of yet
I'm excited to join into the conversation. I never knew that there were this many people interested in HA.
I guess my big question is: what can your systems do?
