Hello,
This Sunday we enjoyed one of the first nice spring days and decided to ride scooters in the skate park in Dobrich.
As always we had a great time 🙂
Hello,
In the continuation of my post “Smart Home Mission” today I will share how I restrict certain websites at home – or in short how I do Parental Control.
Our children are on the tablet or phone all day. Apple has a built-in family sharing feature with which we can limit the hours in which the device can run, what applications to open and what to download.
However, I want to be able to restrict the opening of certain websites (such as TikTok or Facebook) and when I decide – quickly and easily with the push of a button or by calling “Hey Siri”
Hi,
From a few collect steelbook boxes for playstation games.
Today I decided to make a gallery with the boxes I have so far, and my goal is to update the gallery with the new titles that I take in the future!
Some of the boxes are extremely rare – my great pride are the boxes of The last of us, BioShock and Skyrim 🙂 (my favourite games)
Hello and for many years!
Finding a muse to write on the blog in the last 2 years turned out to be quite a difficult initiative for me: /
During the time I did not write here, no interesting things happened. My days were spent mainly at work, playing on the playstation and with the children.
Today I decided to upload here some photos from our walk until Albena last week.
The weather was very nice for February – the sun was shining and it was not very cold, so we decided to change the situation a bit and jump to the sea.
It turned out that many people also decided to do the same and we were not alone.
Next to the “Ganvie” restaurant there was an open shop type “fast food on wheels” which offered hot drinks and something to eat and its owners had taken care of it and had put tables and chairs around it.
The February sun and the empty beach definitely charged us and we will definitely repeat 🙂
Hi,
Before one year, my colleague inspired me to make my home smart (thank you Lyubak! 🙂 ). So I’ve started to experiment and today I can share, that my Smart Home mission is completed.
I want to tell that I did everything myself, and I did not give money to companies that do this service. That’s why I think that anyone with desire and a little experience in Linux can do the same.
I’m using mostly Apple products, but I guess most of this can be done with Android too.
All of this can be automated – like every night at X pm all heaters will turn on and on Y pm all lights and TVs will turn off, etc.
Of course, these things do not cost thousands of levs, and are made with the help of several devices:
Raspberry Pi is used as server with HomeBridge installed. HomeBridge is used to add not apple certified devices to HomeKit and we can control them from smartphone or Siri.
I use Sonoff plugs and switches (pow r2) for my electric devices (TVs, heaters, etc). Sonoff gives me opportunity to switch divices on/off and look at real time what is the power consumption, and with another plugin for HomeBridge I can see graphics of this consumption – it is very cool!
Apple TV or HomePod are needed, because they expose our smart home to internet. Without them we cannot access our smart home if we are not at home. In my case I have Apple TV and two HomePods all of them are used for hub to the internet.
In my next posts I will share in details how and what is needed for configuration on our Smart Home mission 🙂
That’s it!
Hello
It’s been almost a year since I wrote on the blog. I’m alive, I’m healthy (thank God), but I seem to have lost motivation to write here: /
Today I will share some photos from my sister’s visit last week. I named the publication “With children at sea – version 2020” as a continuation of “With children at sea” which I wrote in 2017 🙂
The children are already 4 – all girls :))) We went to Albena to the pool with children’s slides and the sea. As always, we had a great time!
