The full story

With one press of the iPhone Action Button, Smart Life talks normally to Claude, which answers through a Sonos speaker and controls the house through Home Assistant: no wake word, no Alexa or Google.

The video shows questions about real solar, battery and inverter data, Claude creating automations (and asking first), and choosing a Netflix film and starting it on the TV by voice. It also covers the cost, and how simple commands stay free and local. A free PDF guide has the scripts.

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.
