1. MotionEye can help set your own local security camera setup.
2. PiHole with Unbound can help setup network wide ad blocking and DNS over TLS.
3. SDR (DVB-T dongle) with rtl_433 can receive 433Mhz communication from your sensors like Fire Alarm, Gas Sensor, Car key etc. and notify you.
4. MQTT server on a Pi can act as a local notification server, MQTT client on your phone can receive notifications.
Of course, the possibilities with a SBC are endless, but I included just those projects which I feel can be implemented without much effort but provides huge lifestyle/cost-benefit improvements.
- 3np 6y agoOn 4, what MQTT broker(s) would you recommend? I’be been reading up a bit on different alternatives[0] for something lightweight with not too many dependencies to run clustered/HA and haven’t figured out which one to try yet.

- herbcso 6y agoMosquitto seems to be the de-facto "standard" choice for a Pi. Easy to set up and definitely lightweight.
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoYes, Mosquitto from default repo works as it should without any trouble. As for android client, I recommend this[1] but it requires Tasker Autonotification plugin to display notifications.
