Smart watch:
ZsWatch. They are developing the PPG sensor and I have used their PPG sensor hub driver for my own smart watch project. The guy heading it up is super knowledgable.
Healthy Pi Move this one seems interesting but maybe less open.
Also with GadgerBridge, you can have complete local control of many smart watches like Amazfit (Helio strap is my choice there for accuracy and whoop alternative. Bip3 is also very accurate) and a lot of Garmins and xiaomi.
Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.
His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.
Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?
That is vibe coding.
And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)
That is vibe coding.
So the top 3 contributes are
There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.


It is literally a cloudflare tunnel/ tailscale type thing but contained in the app. The only real difference is that it is bundled in the app, so less setup and in exchange, Plex itself is free to harvest all of your data.


Picos are very bad for battery applications. If you do end up doing this, make sure it is mains-powered like your original thought.
Esp32s, MSP430s, and nRF chips have sleep currents down to around 5uA or less.
Picos have sleep currents of 1-4mA. That is 1000x higher and the battery will only last for a few days instead of a few years.


Hey, even if people don’t approve of AI software (or baby-killing village-starving Nestle), turning something open source local-controlled instead of cloud SaaS locked down bullshit is always a good cause!
Also, accounts. Long promised for community or lowest tier then integrated only in the expensive tier of photoprism IIRC, which made me switch because that only then works for individuals.
Do you operate a webserver on them with software service(s)?
I would consider WRT management self hosting, personally. Pi-hole also, but you aren’t running paperless-ngx, pihole, or HomeAssistant on your lightbulb/Shelby switch.
