“If you run them both with docker then updating is pretty simple with no package breaks.”

Do you realize how insane this sounds for non-technical people who want to turn on a light in their livingroom?

Your grandma doesn’t know how to run containers as k8s services?

Don’t tell me she still manually SSHes to each box to run the apps in the background using nohup?!

Grandma's still rocking the automation through the power lines.

Granny’s got Ansible, been treating em like a herd since way back using ssh.

Man if only there was another way to turn on lights.

Hey, don't laugh! Literally last week I dug out my old X10 kit and set up my new office with it and a 25 year old remote that only needed new batteries. Still got the serial port dongle somewhere too in case I need to strap it to a Pi :)

Non-technical people shouldn't do home automation. Unfortunate, but it's true. The entire market is just ewaste.

Hmmm, NFC tag paired to the light that you can tap with your phone to turn it on/off?
