Custom home automation / IoT / automation

Reliable smart systems, built like they have to run next to your own bed.

I design and build custom solutions for homes, workshops, and small businesses: sensors, dashboards, automations, integrations, and tooling that keeps running quietly.

Solutions

Top-down systems with every part accounted for.

Each solution is a complete concept first. Underneath it you will find the building blocks: hardware references, scripts, software, 3D models, services, and paid add-ons.

What I build

From a loose sensor to a manageable system.

Home Assistant

Home automation integrations

Automations, scenes, dashboards, and connections for lighting, climate, access, and energy.

MQTT / ESP

IoT prototypes

Sensor nodes, firmware concepts, topic design, monitoring, and secure local communication.

Linux / SSH

Edge tooling

Deploy scripts, health checks, backups, log analysis, and simple control panels for your own hardware.

APIs

Integration work

Connections between existing systems, webhooks, data normalization, and robust fallback flows.

Live lab

A few interactive signals.

MQTT topic simulator

connected

Edge topology

Portfolio

Project types I like to sink my teeth into.

Home automation

Energy-aware automations

Automatic switching based on dynamic tariffs, solar yield, battery status, and comfort rules.

GitHub example

IoT

Workshop sensor mesh

ESP nodes with MQTT topics for temperature, air quality, door state, and machine usage.

GitHub example

Tools

Self-hosted management scripts

Health checks, backups, certificate renewals, and deploys that stay easy to understand over SSH.
