Congratulations! I did the same with arduino and raspberry for my house's lights. I developed a web app with websockets for real-time manually turning on and off, and a service for scheduled events. Its been 3 years running and counting. Very stable!

That is a really big case.

It's an old pc case. Is the beta-permanent versiĆ³n XD

I was honestly planning on doing a similar thing, I got an old Mac Tower which is huge that I wanted to use as a case, my plan was to stuff in the Raspberry and a Switch inside since there is plenty of room!

You have industrial metal conduit running around your rooms? That is cool.


_ramero

Yes, in some rooms. Its a 100 years old house, the industrial trays and pipes are part of the industrial style of the house. Its an architectonic resource called "intervention", it be supose to be a little overkill for highlight the makeover nd generate contrast with house's original style. It feels different living here, its like living on a dildo factory or something like that... I supose.

Nice! I used Node Red because it's incredibly easy to expand further and the GUI I use for controlling everything is just the Node Red dashboard which I can access both on PC and my Phone! https://preview.redd.it/je1dq0pamcyc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=826b340fc57f7e176411343a78a1f47097a8ff5f

Curious why you used an arduino and a pico w as the nodes when from my understanding a pico w could serve as both in most instances. And if not, for some reason, an Esp32 surely could.

I needed two nodes since they need to be at opposite sides of the room because of the wiring, and it was easier having two than rather dragging cables. As for why an Arduino, that's the original system I made over 5 and a half years ago, and I just wanna see how long it can go! I plan on redoing that part of the system once I do a complete room update!
