Home Lab – ToDo

Home Automation

One project that I have been pondering for a while is using Home Assistant in my home/home lab to have some home automatons (lights, water plants, AC, Thermostat) and integrate an LLM for voice and audio interactions. In a nut shell, make my own “alex, siri” and keep it all isolated to my home and on my network.

This will be a fun and informative experience. It is also a lot of small pieces, it can be built out slowly, bit by bit over time.
