Home Assistant

A collection of smaller home automation projects built on open source solutions from others. From magically opening entrance doors to RGB ambience behind every piece of furniture, and a standing desk that obeys Siri.

How I taught my apartment’s entrance door to recognize me and open automatically. A surprisingly practical tale of BLE authentication, hidden ESPs, and the occasional accidental door opening while driving by.

How I reverse-engineered my electric sofa to work with Home Assistant using an ESP32. After frying a transistor and some emergency soldering, I now have a voice-controlled couch.
