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 made my apartment entrance buzz me in after authenticating my phone over BLE. It also opened the door once while I was driving past.

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.
