Wordclock…

I made a Wordclock with MicroPython and an ESP8266, and one with a Raspberry Pi and Python.

I gave a talk at Grazer Linuxtage about the build process. You can see the talk on CCC’s media website or on YouTube.


The slides can be found here: https://flowolf.github.io/glt18-talk.

At some point I’m planning on releasing the source code and the vector files for the Wordclock face. Have still some cleaning up to do. In the mean time: there are several word clock projects out there that use a Raspberry Pi and Python; just search for them.

Edit: the code can be found here: https://gitlab.com/flowolf/wordclock/

Home Automation with Python…

I gave a talk at Grazer Linuxtage 2017. It’s about Home Automation and how you can use Python to realize it.

The talk covers a simple example of a DIY sensor that runs MicroPython. Finally I give a short introduction to Home Assistant, a Python Home Automation Hub, that allows you to integrate with hundreds of devices. Home Assistant offers integrations to light switches, smart lights (Hue, Trådfri, Lightify,…), door sensors, heat control units, and many others.

There is a video of my talk on my Youtube channel:
