I’m in the early stages of tinkering with an idea on an analog dashboard. Very retro jetsons or maybe a little vacuum tube aesthetic, about 10” x 24”, and has about 20 or so dials, switches, and sliders on it.
I want to map them so that I have a “screen free” access to my most used automations. Lights, routines, volume knobs, etc.
I’ve been searching around for someone who’s done this already, but in haven’t seen it yet. In have a feeling it can be accomplished with a little dedication and some creative ITTT.
Has anyone tried something like this?
It’s pretty trivial pi gpio to mqtt exists and that gets you to any reasonable hub.
Rotary encoders would be a bit harder to deal with but analog pots are trivial.
Once they are in your hub automate away.
