homealiceprojects

homealiceprojects is an online repository and community focused on open-source do-it-yourself projects for home automation, electronics, and energy efficiency. The site hosts tutorials, schematics, code excerpts, and bill-of-materials for projects that can be built with common components such as microcontrollers, single-board computers, and sensors. Content aims to be reproducible and affordable, enabling hobbyists, students, and educators to replicate and adapt ideas in a home setting.

The project originated as a collaborative effort among makers who valued transparent documentation and modular design. It emphasizes practical rather than theoretical work, with an emphasis on step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting notes, and variant designs to accommodate different budgets and skill levels.

Projects typically cover areas such as lighting automation, climate and environmental sensing, smart plugs and outlets, security and monitoring, and energy usage tracking. Examples commonly include sensor-based alerts, automation routines, and integration with popular platforms and protocols, all accompanied by code samples and procurement tips.

Contributors submit new projects and improvements through open-source repositories, with maintainers reviewing submissions for clarity, safety, and license compliance. The community often supports newcomers through forums, comment threads, and collaborative documentation, reinforcing a culture of reuse and adaptation.

Licensing is generally open and permissive to encourage reuse, modification, and redistribution, aligning with maker and educational objectives. Overall, homealiceprojects serves as a practical resource for people seeking approachable, home-based automation projects and a path to learning through hands-on building.
