Yeah, I feel like there is a huge missed potential for high levels of home automation that are not "smart", but rather just powerful and well-interconnected. I'd be happy to have a high level of home automation that is flexible, extensible, powerful, and just does exactly what I tell it to without having to "learn" or "guess".
- SEJeff 5y agoCheck out home assistant. It is also 100% open source (and the core is beautifully written and unit tested async Python)
- lostlogin 5y agoGoing way deep down the rabbit hole is possible with HA, and custom stuff on ESP32 or ESP8266 chips with your own sensors, relays etc is possible with ESPHome. It’s good fun and very inexpensive.
- SEJeff 5y agoIndeed it is. Incredible project
- Shish2k 5y ago> It’s good fun and very inexpensive. Once you have the equipment and the knowledge, it takes around $2 of electronics to turn any random simple device into a smart device. Speaking for myself at least, it took around $1000 of tools and 3 months of trial-and-error self-teaching to reach that point… Definitely good fun though :)
