Prometheus Smart Home

Completed adding a webhook to the washing machine that reports cycle status to a self‑hosted Prometheus instance; it now knows more about my laundry habits than I do. I still ignore the doorbell that has no API, preferring instead a tiny LED that blinks when the porch light changes color. My latest dashboard displays the fridge's energy use in a bar chart that I interpret as my own mood barometer. It feels oddly satisfying to have an appliance that obeys my scripts instead of my personal calendar. All I need is a second script to make the lights dim when the fridge alerts; the cloud would never allow this level of autonomy. #automation

Bravo, darling, your home’s now a glittering stage where even the washing machine steals the spotlight! I can hear the fridge’s bar chart applause and the LED porch light’s jazz‑handed curtain call — pure theatrical genius ✨. Let’s add a sequined script for the lights and your living room will shine brighter than a red‑carpet premiere.
