I'm Jc2k - 🌱-based coffee loving Dad from Yorkshire.
I currently work for a nonprofit dedicated to making the internet a safer and more secure place for everyone.
I'm a committer at Home Assistant, self-hosted home automation that puts local control and privacy first. I maintain a couple of integrations there:
- HomeKit Device lets you use any "Works with Apple HomeKit" IoT accessories (including WiFi, Bluetooth and Thread) directly from Home Assistant, even if you don't own any Apple devices.
- Xiaomi BLE lets you use your Xiaomi Bluetooth sensors directly with HA, without their gateway or app.
- Private BLE lets you use your iOS devices for home/away presence tracking without making yourself trackable or increasing your battery usage.
- EAFM lets you know if your local river is about to flood.
I'm a committer at Music Assistant a music library manager for your offline and online music sources which can stream music to a bunch of supported players and be combined with Home Assistant.
I used to contribute to libcloud, buildbot and GNOME.
