Humidity & air
Room-level humidity and particulate sensors drive ventilation and dehumidification before condensation ever shows up on a window.

Seattle, Washington
The Pacific Northwest house — rain, humidity, and four months of grey. The automations here are about air, light, and keeping the network core running through storm-season outages.
This page is being built out. Live sensor readings, local weather, and a public status board for this location are next. The structure and navigation below are final.
What's automated here
Moisture and daylight are the two variables everything else reacts to.
Adaptive lighting
Color temperature and brightness track the actual sunrise and sunset rather than the clock — which matters a lot when sunset is at 4:20 p.m.
CircadianScenesSun elevation
Network core
This is where the primary switching, DNS, and the Tailscale exit path live, with UPS-backed uptime and alerting on any node that drops.

Water & weather
Leak sensors in the mechanical spaces plus local rainfall and outdoor temperature feeds, logged alongside everything else in Grafana.

The property
A house that has to manage water — inside and out.
Seattle's problem isn't heat, it's moisture and darkness. Nine months of the year the house is managing humidity, and the shortest days end before the workday does.
The result is a quieter set of automations than Signal Hill. Less about peaks and load shifting, more about steady conditions and catching small failures — a damp crawlspace, a dropped access point — before they become expensive ones.
