A status monitor he built with AI watches his home tech

A ready made dashboard only shows what the maker thinks matters. His own status monitor, built with AI on a 10.3 inch second screen, shows him when an n8n workflow, a hoster or his lawn mower socket fails, with 53 tests included.

How it works

Builds a status monitor with AI
Puts it on a 10.3 inch second monitor
It watches his n8n workflows, his hoster and his lawn mower socket
53 tests included

Why it’s worth knowing

The monitor watches the plug his lawn mower uses, not just servers, so a dead socket shows up before he goes out to mow.
