For our bootcamp we try to get everyone out of their comfort zone and, like many of our sessions, try to do something hands-on.
This year the topic of choice was “Home Automation”. The day was divided into two parts:
A word of caution…
Because we needed a lot of soldering bouts etc, we asked the consultants if they could bring some extra equipment to the bootcamp.
After an initial presentation the teams got to work!
Creating our own, programmable “smart” socket with HLK-PM01 and ESP01.
We brought in some “smart houses”, packed with all kinds of sensors and connected to the Wifi with raspberry pies with the “Home Assistant OS” on them.
We ended the evening with maybe the most important part, the closing reception with discussions on our little IoT adventure ;)
And now to find something cool for next year! 😀
