Building a Smart Door Bell and e-ink Home Dashboard

by Jachin Rupe | at Minnebar 19

Let's go over some fun projects for around the house I got to work on recently.

I made a regular old doorbell "smart". Even though I had a couple of solid YouTube tutorials to follow (that made this project look easy), it stretched me a lot.

I made a home dashboard for my refrigerator with some TRMNLs. I wrote some custom plugins to show some things on my dashboard that I care about. I also 3D printed some mounting hardware to attach magnets to, so I could mount them on my refrigerator.

I'd also love to hear about your projects and what you've learned.
