Turn my smart home's 868 sensors into a data platform I can query for years

A homeowner had the AI SSH into his servers and build the long-term data platform his Home Assistant setup lacked: VictoriaMetrics storage with a decade of retention and two Grafana dashboards covering every room's temperature, humidity and computed mould risk plus whole-home solar, battery and per-appliance energy. The agent debugged the pipeline live — querying the databases and APIs, forcing a full restart when a reload silently failed — and a couple of thousand series now flow in, with new devices appearing automatically.

Set up a spare Android phone as the agent's own device: The AI

The open-source 'burner' project gives the AI a real spare Android phone (Android 11+).
