I used the usual stack of HomeAssistant, Frigate, and a bazillion glue connectors to consolidate devices that were previously cloud apps on my phone.

For example, previously I used the Frigate web UI over VPN to access my cameras, but I instead had Claude help set up go2rtc to push the video to HomeKit. I used the Eufy app for my doorbell, which I was instead able to integrate into HomeAssistant and then push to HomeKit as well, and I was also able to integrate some TP-Link Kasa plugs with HomeAssistant too.

This is all stuff I could have done relatively easily myself, but I hate nothing more than wading through horribly documented disparate configuration systems (I do that enough all day), so having Claude to do it for me is what unlocked it actually getting done.

I also added on to some custom one-offs like an ESP32-based controller for my kid's RGB LED nightlight for fun, although that stuff was more hand-coded since I find it enjoyable.
