Projects
I like computers and electronics — here is what I have going on at the moment, and some links to my electronics, homelab, and computer projects.
Featured
- DIY alarm system
- I'm making my own alarm system with Home Assistant, Zigbee, and some wired stuff.
- Home network V2
- I'm making my home network totally awesome!
Ongoing
- Rearrange homelab rack
🐘
- Move servers around in my homelab rack, better utilizing the space.
- Replace motion sensors on RPi security system
🐘
- I will be replacing all Aqara motion sensors with Hue — they seem more reliable, have better battery life, short cool-down and I like the mounting options better.
- External voltage ref on RPi security system
🐘
- Using an external voltage reference to get more accurate voltage measurements on my RPi security system.
- Wine cabinet in home office
🐘
- Finding room for a wine cabinet in my home office.
- Garage door control
🐘
- Control the garage door from Home Assistant — using a Shelly PRO relay
- DIY fire alarm
🐘
- I'm looking into implementing professional smoke detectors into my RPi security system.
- Test Netdata for homelab monitoring
🐘
- I've been without a monitoring solution for a while now — didn't want to spend time setting one up. With Netdata I might not have to.
- 5V power rail improvements on the RPI DIY security system
- My 5V rail was a bit weak, giving under-voltage errors on the Raspberry Pi. It needs improving.
- Expand and improve the water alarm on my RPi DIY security system
🐘
- Add custom actions to the water alarm; like turning off the dish washer and main water valve.
- Power and battery setup for the RPi DIY security system
- I still have some work to do on the power and battery setup on my home made security system.
- Build a module to show electricity price and consumption
- I'm making a simple module, using WeMos D1 mini, to show the current electricity price and consumption — using LEDs.
- Running MikroTik CHR as my border router
- Setting up a virtual instance of MikroTik's CHR router, and replace my EdgeRouter.
Last completed
- Upgrade fileserver, and move ZFS pools from hypervisor
- I've been running my ZFS pools on my hypervisor for about a year. Time to move them back to the file server.
- Migrate videos to Bunny Stream
- I found that my DIY video implementation wasn't actually all that great, so I'm migrating to Bunny Stream instead.
- Single mode fiber between the house and garage
- I'm going to pull single mode fiber in an underground conduit between the house and garage.
- Making a pub table
- I got an old table top from a friend. It was in bad condition, I'm freshening it up and turning it into a pub table.
- Underground power and conduits to garage and shed
- I'm running three-phase power and conduits, for fiber and outdoor lighting, to the garage and shed.
