#IoT

In late 2019 I stuck a raspberry pi and e-paper display in a picture frame and made it show my upcoming travel plans. Now it is just blank. What should I use it for now?

Over the past few weekends I've been overhauling my home automation systems. At the core, as I decide what to buy and how to configure it, there are three primary principles:
• Manual override: Everything automated has to still have the ability to be controlled manually
• Keep it at home: No "cloud" services unless absolutely necessary (e.g. push notifications to a phone)
• Open: Avoid vendor lock-in, use open source and open protocols where possible
So far, I've removed my Dropcam (acquired by Google/Nest), removed SmartThings (acquired by Samsung), and replaced everything with the best alternatives I can find, and making a few sensors myself as well.
It's been a fun experience for sure! Not something I would recommend as an "out of the box" solution, but I've learned a lot, and have a lot more ideas still! I'm planning on doing a full writeup once I get a few more things hooked up. -
I know we are “all processor vulns all the time right now” but don’t forget .@CES 2018 is coming & bringing with it both vulnerable #IoT devices & ridiculous AND vulnerable IoT devices. Example from last year - smart hair brushes. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/03/technology/personaltech/ces-2018.html

#IoT does not mean literally controlling things via the Internet. Your Thing should be able to function without an Internet connection #fail https://twitter.com/RWW/status/782014434109685760

This is a great hack of the Amazon Dash button. Just tried it out and it worked the first time! :-) https://medium.com/@edwardbenson/how-i-hacked-amazon-s-5-wifi-button-to-track-baby-data-794214b0bdd8 Now how many Dash buttons will Amazon let me order...

There are 2 rules to build an #IoT thing… (1) don’t build a platform. (2) if you do build a platform, make it do one thing, not all things.
