about
Hi, I'm Chris.
I build gadgets for my house, then write down how so you can build them too.
How this started
I started with one smart bulb and ended up with a workshop full of half-finished ESP32 boards and a printer that never really stops.
Each post covers how the project began, what went wrong, and the final code, so you can copy it and skip the dead ends.
What I write about
- Home Assistant setups, automations and dashboards
- ESP32 and ESPHome devices, from wiring to firmware
- 3D printing parts and enclosures, with the files
- Any gadget that earns its place around the house
In the workshop
- A 3D printer that runs most evenings
- A bench of half-finished ESP32 boards
- A Home Assistant server in the cupboard
- A soldering station I should use more
