@tim This already covers what 90% of people usually want to be able to control/automate.

If you don't want to touch the concealed installation, you can also use Wifi/Zigbee based smart plugs to at least control lights with a cable.

Weather station: #ecowitt Also all fully local. Great integration available.

I am not using any thermostats (heatpump) but there are also nice and cheap Zigbee options available.

Here you can find a few more, for different #diy "levels"

Marcin Plaza récidive et ne plaisante vraiment pas !

Final wash of cochineal dyed cotton in extremely hot water, rinsed clean. This is the fabric wet. Will be close to the final color (will be lighter when it dries). But the cochineal definitely bonded to the fabric! From cochineal which colonized my cactus, with a bonus of using California sumac growing next to the cactus for tannins!! (Plus rusty nails I had in the shed, thrown in a glass jar). #dye #dyeing #backyard #garden #diy
