Welcome to Homatica
Your hub for DIY home automation projects, blending code, hardware, and privacy-first innovation.
🔍 Why Homatica?
Homatica is short for home automatica — a nod to my roots in DIY electronics and my passion for automation. This site is my lab, my journal, and my way of sharing what I’ve learned with others who love to build, tinker, and think differently.
From modulating gas flow with a servo to replacing a PIC chip with a Pico W, I design modular, scalable systems that prioritize privacy and fail gracefully. Explore projects like smart HVAC controllers or MQTT-driven lighting, all built with open-source tools like Home Assistant.
⚙️ Latest Project: Smart HVAC Optimization
Build a custom controller using Raspberry Pico W and temperature sensors to optimize furnace efficiency. This project uses a servo to modulate gas flow and integrates with Home Assistant for real-time control.
