better_thermostat
This custom component for Home Assistant will add crucial features to your climate-controlling TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) to save you the work of creating automations to make it smart. It combines a room-temperature sensor, window/door sensors, weather forecasts, or an ambient temperature probe to decide when it should call for heat and automatically calibrate your TRVs to fix the imprecise measurements taken in the radiator's vicinity.

apple-silicon-accelerometer
reading the undocumented mems accelerometer + gyroscope on apple silicon macbooks via iokit hid
Project mention: Show HN: Mech keyboard sounds driven by a hidden accelerometer in MacBooks | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-17I built this after discovering and open-sourcing the accelerometer signal in Apple Silicon MacBooks (https://github.com/olvvier/apple-silicon-accelerometer).
The sensor reads impact force and vibration data in real time. Haptyk maps that to different sound intensities: soft taps play a quieter click, hard presses play a louder clack.
Would love to hear what you think.
