I have been away for some time, travelling through disturbed waters of work and life, but I'm back.
I have some small troubles with my HomeAuto system. Nothing really terrible, but annoying.
- My Ardino Yun positioned in my bathroom has stopped working. It is up and running, but it has left my WIFI network and I need to have a close look at its configuration. Yun is a rather expensive board, as compared for example to Particle Photon and I'm thinking that probably it is not the right board for my experiments. Fortunately I have bought only one.
- I have tried to test the new Fishino IDE, that should enable me to do OTA update on that card. But I think I need also to upgrade Fishino firmware to have OTA enabled. Some wiring and low-level upgrade, hoping that in half a day it will return back in my fleet of rooms' devices.
- I have left for a while in my 'bag of ideas' the project of moving the entire HomeAuto to a K8S based infrastructure... it will take more time than I expected (or I have less free time than expected). But it is an interesting idea and I'll continue on that.
Anyway: the point is that if you want to have a 24x7, well made, HomeAuto system, only few days of work are not enough.
Better said: one thing is to build a working prototype and a completely different thing is to set-up an industrialized solution, reliable and easily to maintain.
Well, most of you will think: where is the news?
Ok, but millions of happy maker(nerd)s are aware of this? Hope so.
Stay tuned.
