friends controlled my home. it got weird.

ever wondered what chaos looks like? i let my discord friends control my house.

context: @joshuafrankle and i were building a bot. started as a joke. played tamil comedy tracks. evolved. became mr.robot. server management, api testing, the works.

then i got bored. had a nodemcu 8266 lying around. thought: let’s add iot to the mix. #mightregretthisdecision

the hardware: nodemcu 8266. standard issue. the software: micropython. easier than c. hooked it up to the discord bot.

running in under an hour. then the party started.

server had 300 people. i gave them the keys. anyone could toggle my lights and fans.

chaos ensued. friends finding weird command combos. house looked possessed. lights flashing, fans revving. they wanted music. sadly, i didn't hook up the speakers.

verdict? 10/10. harmless mischief. fun experiment if you trust your friends (i don't).

sadly, mr.robot is offline now. security risks were... significant.

working on v2. seamless but secure. will post updates.

bonus: micropython webrepl starter
