Before energy meters, one of my first hobbies was creating smart switches to automate my room.

Before energy meters, one of my first hobbies was creating smart switches to automate my room, it all started with a switch activated with an infrared remote control, then controlled from a web page in pure HTML, Ubidots, Home Assistant, and more. However, I always wanted to be able to create one with the same experience of using those commercial switches, where you buy, and install, a mobile app for both Android and iOS, Google Home and Alexa and all without configuring servers, third-party services, or anything like that.

The day has come, and the tool that has allowed me to bring this to reality is the platform developed by Espressif (from the creators of ESP32 and ESP8266), called RainMaker, this is a complete environment designed to create smart devices for our home., from curtains, switches, lamps, fans, thermostats, and much more, and to be able to market them.”
