Just a small personal project for home automation.
Other than actually producing something useful, the intent of the project was to build something from scratch. This is not really a long term solution, and once the system complexity starts to grow, migrating to an open source third party solution such as Home Assistant may be needed in the near future.
The main goal is to implement the following features:
- automatic lighting
- automatic air conditioning
To support the main features listed above, the following supporting features must also be implemented:
- detect user presence
- monitor temperature
