Automation and Physical Systems

May 7, 2026 min read

Problem

Useful technical work is not limited to web apps. Small automations and physical systems can remove friction from daily routines.

What I built

This page will collect practical experiments: scripts, sensors, presence systems, smart-home integrations, and workflow tools.

What I learned

The best small systems are boring in the right way. They solve a narrow problem and keep working.

Current status

Active idea bucket. Individual writeups will be split out as projects mature.

Next steps

Document the first working automation or device project with the problem, build notes, and next improvement.
