How do I cybermaxx my entire apartment?
>>106483774Ngl, the first time I saw someone connect their lights to Alexa, I was impressed. But it is a gimmick at the end of the day. Maybe it makes stuff more convenient, like having a universal remote, but is it worth the risks? Remember that guy who got locked out of his house by Amazon for allegedly saying a slur?
>>106483774smart shades, smart lock, smart shower, smart TV, smart fridge, smart dishwasher, smart lightbulbs everywhere, smart thermometer, alexa in every room and sync'd to everything and KVM to use your machine remotely
>>106483774run fat electrical cables all over the place. they don’t even have do do anything, just look like they do.
>>106483774Run an LLM on old hardware and connect it to homeassistant to DIY a smart home.Have an electronics workbench with half finished robotics projects. Bonus points for a female android head half taken apart sitting in the middle with random electronic junk around it.>>106483825Universal remotes are easy to make. I bought an IR receiver/blaster and vibecoded an esphome remote for my AC and fan in an afternoon.Rule of thumb is never let smart shit get in the way of using the device normally. A smart lock without a physical key override is retarded. Breaking your only fan remote to make it "smart" is equally retarded.
