Networking Projects

Networking Skills

Through these networking projects, I’ve developed hands-on expertise in areas such as:

  • Network configuration and troubleshooting via the Linux CLI using Raspberry Pi.
  • Home Assistant setup and management to integrate devices across different networks and protocols (e.g., MQTT, HTTP).
  • Custom module creation for Magic Mirror using Python and web development frameworks to fetch data from APIs or databases.

Home Assistant

I've set up Home Assistant on my Raspberry Pi, allowing me to control and automate various aspects of my smart home. By using command line BASH scripts, I can configure the microphone and speaker setup to enhance my home's audio experience.

Additionally, I've integrated an AI instance of Ollamma LLM into Home Assistant, providing a more intelligent and personalized experience for my home.

Magic Mirror

Magic Mirror is an excellent tool for creating custom information displays. I've created several modules to display various information, including:

  • A YouTube video playlist that plays during my morning routines using the `youtube` module and HTTP requests.
  • Custom crypto data to stay up-to-date on the latest market trends using the `requests` library and APIs.
  • NHL team info and scores to keep me connected to the sport I love using the `nhlapi` module and web scraping.

With Magic Mirror, I can easily update and customize my displays to fit my needs. It's an essential tool for anyone looking to take control of their digital life.
