I am currently setting up my own home automation system, making it up as I go, and trying to keep costs as low as possible.

The system already has a quite decent level of performance, even though I keep adding new functionality with additional sensors, actuators and switches.

Tutorials (verified, tested)

These tutorials will guide you through the process of setting up and utilizing specific functionalities.
