Real homelab, ESP32 and smart-home projects — documented from the first wire to the final dashboard. Plus useful tools you can actually use.
Not theory. Practical systems designed, deployed, measured and refined in a working home lab.
Head-height K-type sensing, ESPHome, Home Assistant, InfluxDB and Grafana — with session and thermal-cycle analysis.
Local filtering first, remote encrypted fallback second, with Tailscale linking the pieces without exposing a resolver publicly.
Nightly local config snapshots plus encrypted Restic backups to Google Drive, including remote hosts through restricted jump paths.
Small calculators for questions that come up repeatedly while designing a home lab.
Map trusted, IoT, media and service networks and export a clean addressing plan.
View roadmap →Resilient systems should stay understandable when you come back to them six months later.
Wiring diagrams, ESPHome configs, dashboards, parts lists and deployment notes.
