Home control
that works?
Smart!
Smarthome is my smart home project
that provides direct, daily control of the
apartment’s lights, plugs, and air conditioner.
Across the place, button panels are affixed
to walls at typical light switch placements:
I tap a button on the panel, and lights turn on.
Buttons also fade and dim lights, pick colors,
set scenes, adjust the fan, and tell time.
No assistants or commands, simply buttons.
It runs 24/7. It blends hardware, web apps,
daemons, sysadmin, open-source software,
interior design, ergonomics — a lot! —
to support everyday life.
Day and night, panels adjust to suit the décor.
Using failsafes, everything operates smoothly.
By using software and security updates to
reuse exceptional e-waste, the system can
grow while shrugging at RAM prices.
Really, only one thing matters: that it works.
When I need quick light, I’m throwing a party,
or a power outage hits, Smarthome is
smart simply because it helps.
