The dragon’s home #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi

DIY smart home solution from Xasin on Hackaday.io. The ‘Dragon cookie’ is a unique board with ESP32 and the whole system runs off a Pi hub.

Now, there are options for lighting out there, like the conventional Smart Home services from Google, Amazon, etc., but I am not a big fan of putting those into my room. It wasn’t too long ago that one of their services went down and people couldn’t turn their lights on – that plus the privacy concerns are a big no.

I could go for regular IR-Controlled RGB strips, but those are a bit boring as well, I feel.

So here I am, making my own DIY Smart home implementation!
Fully open-source, fully capable of all the fancy features like voice control, but all locally hosted and with fallback options to control it all offline~
