Cheers John - and agreed about the API! Can't help but feel they're missing out on a lot of community good-will to expand the Substack ecosystem though I accept that getting it right is hard work!
I don't think I'll ever reach that level. Although I will admit to installing a Cat6 hardwire network and gigabit switches right through the house last time I decorated.
Light dependent motor driven curtains are a great idea, only snag may be need to replace the tracks for ones with less friction.
We all start somewhere with these things! Given your Arduino skills I'm sure you could manage - I wouldn't know where to begin building robots! And nice work on the networking - one of the most frustrating things about my current setup is my dependence on a WiFi connection to the Pi; it's not terrible but I would much rather a hard-wired connection. I just can't be doing with cables running through the flat!
The motor driven curtains are something I'll definitely be installing in the future; I have an unnerving ability to yank curtain rails straight off the wall!
Great! Please continue such practical work
It's such a shame SubStack doesn't have an API. Neat setup with the light though.

Wow Tom! Excellent informative piece. Serious stuff.

Ignore everything else but the Pi?😲
As you know I'm an Arduino kinda guy!😁
Cheers Paul! Glad you enjoyed it :)

I'll admit to being something of a Pi evangelist, but I'm sure you could make the Arduino work for you :P https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/using-an-arduino-as-a-web-server/
