Home automation. And everything around it.
I’m Matt. I build and run home automations, self-hosted services and small apps. This is where I share the projects and what I’ve learned.
Selected projects
What I’m working on.
Energy, infrastructure and automation, with notes on how each project works.
01 Home-energy optimisation Using tariffs, solar generation and household demand to plan when to use and store energy. 02 Homelab architecture Running services at home, with monitoring, backups and a recovery plan for each one. 03 Certificate automation Renewing and deploying TLS certificates automatically, with restricted credentials and expiry checks.

In practice
How I build.
- 01 Useful before clever Automate the jobs I keep doing by hand. Keep the controls simple.
- 02 Private by design Keep household data and services private. Share the useful lessons.
- 03 Make it maintainable Check that backups restore, failures are visible and changes can be undone.
