Project to set up a small smart home via a Raspberry Pi with ioBroker by the end of 2019/2020.
- Reading Xiaomi Aqara temperature/humidity sensors
I had planned that for ages too but never got around to it due to lack of time. I recently came across ioBroker and started working on it. With a bare Raspi and no prior knowledge of ioBroker, I was done in two hours with graphical evaluation over time of various Xiaomi sensors. Of course, you can spend much more time on dashboards and smart controls, etc.
Planned for 2020:
- Plant THE tree
- Enclosure for 4 tons by the street, we are currently juggling between cars to the other end of the driveway
- Remove 3-4 fir trees, create the last bed at the driveway. So, the front garden
- Enclosure for heat pump
- Set up office
- Redecorate living room
- Baseboards for the whole house
- Clear out 50m² attic, everything gone
This year we landscaped the garden: new hedge, lawn, wooden terrace, flower beds with perennials, garden shed, path in the garden.
