The New Smart. At Home.

Installing a smarthome needs purpose. Switching a light with a phone on and off makes fun 5 minutes.

Make your light knowing you arrived from work makes it SMART.

About Me

Enthusiast about new technologies.

As a software developer its a natural "addiction" to optimize processes. Transferring these optimizations into the physical world is very exciting.

Asking a community opens you mind for other ideas and increases the quality of you solutions.

I started from purpose

My home was build in 1959. Renovated in 2001 the technologies like heating, isolation and resource usage are very much deprecated.

We sanitized in 2016 we at least resolved the isolation part to a certain degree.

The heating is till today the main point which requires a lot of manual interaction as we heat with wood and the oven is not smart.

Therefore finding optimal heating periods and refilling frequencies was the main target for me to improve the heating performance and reduce the usage of wood as this is a cheap but very time expensive resource to produce.
