Automated window blinds: a stepper engine connected to a string coiled around two wheels. Hung onto the string was a number of pegs (not sure if this is the right word?) connected to a curtain. The stepper engine was connected to a microcontroller with bluetooth support that was in turn connected to a small bluetooth button. One click pulled the curtains open (all the way to the left) and two clicks pulled them closed (all the way to the right). Code here: https://gitlab.com/decker108/auto-sunrise/

Automated fan: connected a DHT-11 temperature sensor to a Raspberry Pi along with a 433 MHz transmitter that controls an electric socket with a 433 Mhz receiver. Code here: https://gitlab.com/decker108/smartfan/

Automated air quality sensors: I bought an MQ-4, MQ-6 and MQ-7 gas sensor and 3 FC-22 cards and connected them to a wifi-capable Arduino-like and programmed it to send measurements every 10 minutes to an HTTP server which stores them in a db accessed by Grafana for visualization of the measurements.

Automated light controls: I bought some Ikea Tradfri lamps and used the Pytradfri library from a Raspberry Pi to communicate with them, then setup a web page to allow controlling them from my phone or PC. This was admittedly a bit of a cop-out, but Ikea's lamps do not require an internet connection, so it should be future-proof enough. Code here: https://gitlab.com/decker108/auto-daylight

Automated air dehumidifier: very similar to the automated fan. I used a 433 MHz comms capable socket taking commands from a Raspberry Pi with a transmitter and set it to start every day at 19:00 and stop at 21:15. If I wanted it to be smarter, I could hook up a temperature and humidity sensor (like the DHT-11 or DHT-22) to the RPi and make it trigger once the measurements hit a certain threshold.

  6 254 3.7 Rust

  Open-source Autonomy Software in Rust-lang using gRPC for the Roomba series robot vacuum cleaners. Under development.

I saw (via google) another thread about OSS firmware for the Roomba and some other software (not sure if firmware or not).
