Household utilities & smart devices

One glanceable place in the hub to read the state of the house and flip a few things without leaving the browser — lights, plugs, sensors, and the odd Alexa nudge.

Planned features

  • Read-only widgets first: temperature, which lights are on, energy use
  • A few control buttons — toggle a light or a plug
  • An Alexa announcement for reminders (e.g. a macro nudge)
  • One integration point for everything via a self-hosted hub

Approach & notes

  • A static page can't safely hold device secrets, so any control routes through a small proxy (a Cloudflare Worker) that holds the token — not client JS.
  • Recommended bridge: Home Assistant (self-hosted, e.g. on a Pi) exposed via a Cloudflare Tunnel; it speaks to nearly everything incl. Alexa.
  • Alexa isn't called directly from a webpage — go through Home Assistant, or a webhook like Voice Monkey for announcements/routines.
  • Likely first step: stand up Home Assistant → add read-only widgets → then a couple of control buttons.
