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.

Ongoing

• Network to the twins' rooms
  • I'm running two CAT6 cables to my twins' bedrooms, will be terminated in the attic switch.
• Network run to refurbished hallway
  • I'm running CAT6 cable to a future access point. Will be placed on a table in a hallway we are refurbishing.
• 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.
• New Wi-Fi access point in the living room
  • I'm going to ceiling mount a new access point in my living room.
• 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.
• Running MikroTik CHR as my border router
  • Setting up a virtual instance of MikroTik's CHR router, and replace my EdgeRouter.
• Try using NetBox
  • I'm going to try to use NetBox to document everything; the rack, servers, network runs, switches — everything.
• DIY alarm system
  • I'm making my own alarm system with Home Assistant, Zigbee, and some wired stuff.
• Network to the 2nd floor den
  • Running CAT6 cables from the attic patch panel to our 2nd floor den.
• Home network V2
  • I'm doing some big changes to my home network infrastructure.

Last completed

• Reducing my energy consumption
  • With the current energy prices in Europe — I'm taking some steps to reduce my energy consumption.
• Making flower boxes for Mona
  • I'm enjoying building flower boxes for Mona, in different sizes and shapes.
• Improve Wi-Fi coverage
  • I'm taking steps to improve a few Wi-Fi coverage issues I discovered in my Wi-Fi mapping test.
• Homelab rack power upgrade
  • After my PDU died I'm doing some changes to the power distribution on the homelab rack.
• Network run to the attic
  • Getting a conduit from the basement, to the attic — so I can run Ethernet and fiber.
