Story
🏠 Smart Home Automation Project using ESP32.
It all started with an assignment:
You have a project, build a Smart Home.
So, I did the first thing I actually knew how to do:
I opened SolidWorks and designed the house.
Looked great.
Except... nothing actually worked. I had the home, and the components… but how do I make them smart?
That’s when Kaream Abdelnaser stepped in.
We sat down, broke things down one by one, and he told me exactly what I’d need to bring the components to life then helped me wire them up (and rewire… and re-rewire). He honestly suffered with me through every tangled cable and burned finger.
