Over-engineering my home with Kubernetes - Matthias Grüter, Spotify
summary
Home Assistant runs on Kubernetes from a Raspberry Pi to get automatic restarts and retries and to avoid a single point of failure, with automations that trigger disco lights when a playlist plays. Prometheus scrapes a bedroom temperature/battery sensor so alerts fire before a battery dies. Home Assistant instances are split by purpose over MQTT so lights, tunes and pizza each survive another component failing, and the control plane ties them together so parties keep working.
