I have slowly been converting my house into my very own smart home! It all started with a couple of Philips Hue light bulbs. The Hue app allows for some level of automation but it wasn't quite doing what I wanted. So initially I wrote a very simple program in Go to add my own automations. As I added more smart devices to my house, the program grew massively in scope with things quickly getting hacked in just to make it work. Eventually I decided to rewrite the whole thing in Rust! This was my first real Rust after picking up the language during Advent of Code and was (and still is) a great learning experience.
