I don’t know how “meaningful” it is, but one thing I did that I had a lot of fun programming was making a cheap home automation system. I used $6 RF outlets, a $2 RF transmitter, and connected it to my raspberry pi, and now I can turn on and off all my lights using Siri

I've always wanted to do this but didn't know it could be so cheap! Where did you find that stuff? Is it pretty reliable/robust?
