This repository grows with the channel. Its examples are adaptable reference implementations drawn from practical Home Assistant and maker projects. They may evolve after a video is published, so review and adapt each file for your own setup rather than assuming every file is deployed unchanged.
You’ll find structured Home Assistant YAML examples, automation logic, helper configurations, and supporting files referenced in my YouTube videos (mostly Home Assistant, but also maker / hardware projects).
Browse the repository root.
Each video has its own folder (e.g. smoke-detected-whole-house-alert-sensereo-ms1/) with:
- a short README (what it does + prerequisites)
- YAML/code used in the video
- optional diagrams, screenshots, or links
All examples are designed for practical, real-world setups — not lab demos. Some projects are intentionally architecture-focused rather than plug-and-play, showing the logic and design patterns behind larger Home Assistant systems.
- Third Reality Smart Watering Kit (Soil + Pump Automation)
- Rain Tank Water Management — Rainwater storage, pump protection, freeze lockouts, and shared irrigation permissions.
- Smart Irrigation with Home Assistant — Soil-moisture sensing, Sonoff valve control, irrigation demand, and system safeguards.
- I Built a SIEM for My Smart Home… (Wazuh + Home Assistant) — Wazuh SIEM integration, REST sensors, and security scoring for Home Assistant
- Secrets, tokens, and personal identifiers are removed or replaced with placeholders.
- Entity IDs and device names may need to be adapted to your setup.
- Safety-related automations are an extra layer — always rely on certified hardware and follow local regulations.
