Monsters, mailboxes and other nonsense
summary
Old house gets hacked into a playful IoT lab using a Raspberry Pi running demotic to tie together cheap radio sensors, a VixCom receiver and custom Wi‑Fi boards. Projects include a chicken water heater triggered by a 433 MHz temp sensor, a faux candle built from an ESP8266 NodeMCU driving a neopixel ring (24 LEDs) with HomeKit access, an 8x8 matrix on an 8x8 LED panel served by a NodeMCU running a WebSocket server and custom PCB, and a mailbox sensor fixed by simple padding after wind and false positives.
