+With the appearance of cheap WiFi-capable microcontrollers in recent years, like the ESP8266 and the ESP32, the Internet of Things and Smart Home automation have been on my mind.
+There are many such products out there, but I would like to avoid using badly supported devices without any upstream support from dodgy manufacturers.
+And the data should also be hosted on machines I control.
+
+The pages in this category document different parts of my setup at home.

 As a first step into smart home automation, I wanted to place temperature and humidity sensors in most rooms of my flat.
 To achieve this, I made some simple ESP8266 boards with an I2C sensor, either SHT21 or BME280, as well as a small 3.3V regulator and a USB connector.
 The data is written into an InfluxDB instance on my NAS.
 
+Over time I also added support for ESP32 as well as Arduino Uno Wifi Developer Edition boards, MQTT interfacing, relais control, CCS811 and soil moisture sensor support.
+
+Initially I had a separate project, [esp-relais](https://git.xythobuz.de/thomas/esp-relais), for controlling [this ESP8266 Relais board from Amazon](https://amzn.to/3FQdOXB).
+This functionality has since been integrated into esp-env!

+
+Besides the sensor inputs and actor outputs, which are handled by [my ESP-Env firmware](/espenv.html), a complete Smarthome setup also needs some software running on a central server.
+This usually consists of a message broker, like [MQTT](https://mqtt.org/).
+Some kind of database, preferably for time series data, like [InfluxDB](https://www.influxdata.com/products/influxdb-overview/).
+And a way of visualizing that data, like [Grafana](https://grafana.com/).
+
+The installation of all of these tools is in my case [handled by an ansible script](/sovereign.html).
+They are running on a VM on my NAS.
+
+I also have some other fun scripts running that feed data into Influx.
+This includes [fritzinfluxdb](https://github.com/karrot-dev/fritzinfluxdb), which polls statistics from a Fritz.Box and includes a nice pre-made Grafana dashboard.
+Another one is [nut-influxdb-exporter](https://github.com/kiwimato/nut-influxdb-exporter), which logs statistics from the UPS connected to my NAS.
+
+All of my machines also run [Telegraf](https://www.influxdata.com/time-series-platform/telegraf/) to feed statistics about stuff like CPU and disk usage.
+
+The [air quality monitor on my balcony](https://luftdaten.info/) also writes into the database, besides their [open sensor community map](https://deutschland.maps.sensor.community/#12/47.6926/9.4136).

+
+[Node-RED](https://nodered.org/) is a great tool for visually creating workflows based on events.
+I use it in conjunction with my [ESP-Env sensor and actor hardware](espenv.html) and MQTT to automate my *smart* home.
+
+I plan to extend these workflows as required when I add new hardware to my network.
+
+Here is a simple setup that automatically switches lights in my bathroom according to the sun position, using [node-red-contrib-sunevents](https://github.com/freakent/node-red-contrib-sunevents).
+
+The fan in my window-less bathroom is kept on all the time for now.
+In the future I want to add movement sensors to the bathroom and integrate them into this logic, as well as the temperature / humidity sensors I already have in there.
+All these devices run my [ESP-Env](/espenv.html) firmware.

+
+I first started hosting my own web and mail server in [April 2013](/2013_04_02_zaphod.html), with a Debian 6 VPS at Hetzner, with manually configured Apache, Dovecot, Postfix and some other stuff.
+I followed random tutorials on the web, mostly not understanding what I'm actually doing and learning as I went along.
+But over time this got problematic.
+I dist-upgraded to Debian 7, probably in 2014, breaking a bunch of stuff in the process, but was somehow able to still cobble together a working system.
+As this was going on over the following years, I grew more scared of touching anything in the system, in fear of breaking my mail setup and impacting daily-life.
+
+So when Hetzner announced in 2018 that they will shut-off the VPS product line I was on in April 2019, I had a dead-line for fixing this mess.
+At the same time, of course I continued my progression as a programmer and computer user, which put me in a much better position to take better care of my setup this time around.
+By coincidence, I read about the [Sovereign project](https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign) on [that orange page](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=github.com%2Fsovereign&sort=byPopularity&type=story).
+I decided to fork this, take the pieces that I need, remove stuff that is not useful for my usecases and add other software to it.
+
+The result can be found [on Gitea](https://git.xythobuz.de/thomas/sovereign) or [on GitHub](https://github.com/xythobuz/sovereign).
+Please take a look at the [README.md](https://git.xythobuz.de/thomas/sovereign/src/branch/master/README.md) in the repo.
+It lists all the included software and where I tested it.
+
+I still host my stuff with Hetzner, now in their [Cloud product line](https://www.hetzner.com/cloud).
+Currently I run one instance for the page you're looking at now, one instance for a Wiki and Jitsi for a group of friends and one instance as-needed for testing changes to the scripts.
+
+I also use sovereign to configure some things in my home network.
+This is a Linux VM running on my TrueNAS, which runs my IoT setup for my appliances, like [MQTT, Grafana](/influxdb.html) and [Node-RED](/nodered.html).
