Creating our Floorplan or Animated House Plan in Home Assistant

In this post we are going to try to explain how we can make a plan of our house and integrate it into Home Assistant, with the intention of integrating the devices that we already have in Hassio and giving life to the plan. It is something very attractive and above all visual, It is something they will appreciate at home, since with an image we can see the state of our home and we can interact from it with the devices that we add.

Measuring our electricity consumption with a Raspberry Pi

Continuing with documents of curious things we can do with a Raspberry Pi, Something very simple to achieve is for example to measure the electricity consumption of whatever we want, In this document we will see how to connect non-invasive current sensors to a Raspberry Pi and measure the cost of our home, since we will connect it to the electrical panel of our house! We will export the metrics to a MySQL database and then with Grafana we will create a dashboard where we can see in a very intuitive way what we spend on and how much!

Raspberry Pi – Thermometer and home web control

In this document we will see the steps to follow to install temperature sensors on a Raspberry Pi, the creation of a database to store temperatures and a script that takes the temperature periodically. We will create a website that will allow us to obtain the current temperature as well as a graph with the temperature history. To curl the curl, We will put buttons on the website that will perform tasks such as turning on/off a thermostat!

Putting Hyperion on Raspberry Pi

We're going to make a series of posts that bring the world of Raspberry Pi a little closer to our homes, to our day to day, that makes our lives easier or different!! In this case we will see how easy it is to put an Ambilight system on our home TV. A backlighting system for our TV, where it will cost more to assemble than to set up!
