@subnet_zero Kuchen/Torte auf Gewichtssensor präsentieren.

Was man dann damit macht 🤷‍♂️

@subnet_zero

Wenn deine Frau das wieder macht, dann müssen wir uns überlegen, wie wir die Torte smart bekommen.
Irgendwie muss da doch ein ESP32 rein😁

Building the Open Home

@subnet_zero ich war schon vor einigen Jahren da und ist wirklich cool.

Lohnt sich in meinen Augen, auch wenn ich persönlich nur an meinem Stand stehe😁

Viel mitmachen, auch viel für Kids und einfach nur cool was Leute bauen.

First day #makerfaireruhr is done.

Kids came to play games on my steam machine, while I could explain #homeassistant and my PokyPow and the #minirack.

See you tomorrow!

Last tests before the #makerfaire ruhr.

Join me at my booth:
https://www.makerfaire-ruhr.com/

Let's talk about #homeassistant , how I control the gaming PC with my PokyPow via Home Assistant and have a casual gaming session!

Everything put together in a 10 inch #minirack

@homeassistant that is demo worth for home assistant 😁

Current status of my pokypow: Right before insanity.

I bought a mainboard for demo puposes.

Now this board did not boot, when the PokyPow was plugged in.
It was stuck, not even UEFI.

Then I removed the PokyPow it got further.
Plugged it in again and then it stopped.

WTF?

At some point I could but to the OS.
Looks like, when the Kernel takes over control of the USB chip everything is mostly good.

Maybe some protection circuit from the mainboard until the Kernel takes over?

Looking into it 🔍

So... can Home Assistant run DOOM?

It started with a DOOM t-shirt at a meetup. The real question? Can Home Assistant run DOOM? Two hours later, I had a fully working DOOM integration for Home Assistant and was fighting demons on my smart home dashboard.
