Some people just really enjoy solving problems in a convoluted way for the learning experience. I don't have that kind of drive personally--I feel like I learn enough programming during work hours.
Next thing will be auto-provisioning the Pi so I can just flash my image to the SD card and plug it in.

I just did this with great fun. Was suspicious that my house CO2 was getting too high in my bedroom at night -- one Raspberry Pi connected CO2 sensor streaming metrics over WireGuard to a cloud server running Prometheus, Grafana, and sending alerts with Alertmanager and Pushover I now have a very reliable system to tell me to open a window.

#80I'm a runner who has also gotten locked out, and my solution was to install a keypad deadbolt on my front door ($100 at Home Depot). Never had a problem since.
