Automating My House with Go and PHP
In this presentation I will be showing how I use PHP, Go, and Home Assistant to automate many tasks in my office and house.
We'll be looking at how to create AI (and classical) models for Home Assistant, with MQTT from both PHP and Go. With this we can create complex scenarios for complex situations, such as trying to figure out how dark and cold/warm it is going to be in a room.
