The full story

Automation Addict uses Claude and the unofficial Home Assistant MCP server to build automations without writing YAML: lights that come on when nobody's home, doorbell alerts with a camera snapshot, and a washing-machine-finished alert that he had never managed to get working himself.

Prompt & Solder

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
