Home Hardware, Part 1: My Control4 Revenge Arc

Jessie Frazelle is making her own Home Assistant compatible hardware: People have been tweeting ridiculous PCB images for the last few days, since Astra came out. I already knew the models were good at datasheet review before Astra. The win isn’t one-shotting a PCB. It’s getting through the work an electrical engineer would do, including the parts you hate doing. Astra will have competition: Grok is going to be so good at building hardware. You need end-to-end data:• design on computer (eg CAD)• computer to machine (eg CAM)• real-world part (eg CMM)And SpaceX has that data. https://t.co/5THu1iK8Wc— Christian Keil (@pronounced_kyle) September 7, 2026 Source
