Has anybody else built any home automation solutions with Vaadin? I had a series of flu’s in the beginning of the year, too much time to spend online shopping various electronics to and my project got bit out of hands
But i has been superfan and my cleartly most improtant Vaadin project at the moment is the BBQ smoker automation system ![]()
I did a “cold tests” last week and now essentially waiting for a warmer weather to install it (I need +5° for to cast the pipe through the brick wall).
Included tehnology:
- Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (with mighty 512mb of memory)
- Quarkus server with Vaadin (25.1.0-beta3) UI
- Pi4J library for accessing thermometer data and controlling actuators
- Bluetooth for additional thermometers
- Old chainsaw carborator and a wine bottle box
- Microservo and 12v blower motor
I’ll be showcasing what the beast does and covering what I learned while building it on Thursday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN1N8r1xy6I
