Confessions about my smart home

Frenck (lead engineer of Home Assistant) breaks down the state of his smart home. While you might assume the lead engineer of a home automation platform has everything figured out, it’s fun to hear that’s far from the truth.

…my dashboards are so bad that if I turn on the “Coffee machine” switch, it actually powers on my 3D Printer. 🤦‍♂️

I keep seeing examples of this - lead developers and experts in their field often don’t have the perfect environment - they are focused on the things they want to do and often the pursuit of the ideal environment falls by the wayside.

This is something I often need to remind myself about when I go on a yak shaving adventure tweaking my editor setup or finding the perfect tool for a job.
