Let's Talk About Tech!

Background Starting from macOS Catalina and iOS 13, Apple offers the ability to use an iPad as a secondary screen for your MacBoo k. This is very handy ! Problem ? You need to navigate through the menu and a lot of extra clicks are needed. Can we use some clever tips to automate that ? I think so.

Background In a previous post related to the thingspeak integration for my solar panel production monitoring , I created some basic dashboard showing the production throughout the day. I wanted to see what was the production since the beginning of the day. Since ThingSpeak is part of MathWorks (MATLAB), I have a good feeling that some strong formulas were available for our creativity. 

Background I'm about to have some workers at home constructing some fun stuff in the garden. It would be nice to "survey" the progress with some cool progress video. Why not a timelapse ? But How can I do this ?

Background I've been suspicious about the air quality in my direct environment, my home office, the basement, my pergola, the living room where I have my wood fire. Since my recent Arduino experience I was thinking at creating a all-in-one device that can monitor the ambient air quality. This was before I discovered AirGradient.

Background Ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated with the idea of developing an IoT device capable of responding to my inquiries whenever I seek specific information. Initially, I was under the impression that establishing an API endpoint or server would be a highly complex task, possibly beyond my current skill set. However, I've discovered that this assumption was misplaced. The process is not as daunting as I had imagined.
