Any good ideas on using raspberry pi in the house?

So many possibles applications.
Iot, camera, media center, robotic, ...
I use it to feed my fish and as an IP camera with realtime access.
Browse google with "diy raspberry project". Have fun with you Pi!

Actually I'm planning to get one :-)

RetroPie. Console emulation "mediacenter", compatible with all your controllers. Basically what inspired the NES mini

Write some python scripts and ssh into it to execute them, like taing a picture or something. Very easy, and you dont need to hook the pi up to anything but power and wifi. No socket scripting needed either!

Here is how I use:
1. Media Server
2. Private git server (gogs)
3. File Server SMB (External HDD)
4. Custom Scripts to automate stuff like sending news articles to my Kindle

home automation
Like use of sensors to automate the pattern of the lights in your house light up may be flowing or disco or like clap switch or a wave of hand.
Wow I'm actually thinking of doing it now when o mention it myself.... will need to start ASAP

I'm thinking how can I make it open the door!
No need to carry a key chain anymore, right?

@mk3d liked that fish feeding 👍🏽

You could use it for Alexa or a webserver

Is it safe to keep it on for like server use?
It's board seems fragile, can out survive being up all the time?

@tinybyte absolutely. Kept two of mine on for months at the time.

@rsrj curious as to how you do the Kindle trick. Right now I use a combination of IFTTT, Pocket and p2k.co. It works but I'm sure there's an easier way.

@tild3 It"s basically kind of a hack. I basically figured out the HTTP requests that the news app sends. So, I send those requests, get news, format it, convert to mobi and send it to kindle account by a script.
