I've been doing the same but with the "smart" devices in my house lately. Smart things with groovy is pretty fun and integrating all the random stuff on my network is pretty awesome.
Like what's really cool, I'm going to tie the hub into my switch so that it can enable my vpn either with a switch or just by presence (leaving the house). Really neat.

Does anyone else derive great pleasure from creating quality of life/small utility programs?
So I'm learning python in between projects at work (plan on slowly moving new projects to it) and damn, my coding buddy and I have found a package/import for almost anything we can imagine. Heck, we canned ourselves laughing when we started googling random things and still found python packages that do it. I plan to use the language to automate a ton of things when I get a new PC.
Aside from that, I recently in 2 days (1 day building, 1 day bug fixing) made a tiny utility that shaves a good 5 minutes off a certain task for my colleagues at work, and in bulk use will save even more time. It's a textbox and a button only but it felt so nice to make something useful like that so quickly.
