BathroomBot

• humidy sensor that turns on fan when you shower
• motion sensor that triggers different services based on time of day
  • Morning:
    • shows weather icons/data while you get ready.
    • turns on morning soundtrack.
    • sends out signal to other "morning" services to start up.
  • Night:
    • turns on sense_hat LEDs to red to light up bathroom without blowing out your eyes.

BlockerBot

• capture signal of drones or other bots and either hijack or block them.
• Use IR or other sensors to find and replace.

HackerDrop

• hacker style scavenger hunt/geocaching
• PIs designed to be hacked
• Users get points and clues to find other PIs to hunt.
• Gotta have a mobile hacker kit
• sample

MQTT Cluster

• reddis style master-slaves architecture
• used for smart home or other systems that rely on MQTT being up full time.
• Basically each PI would be a MQTT broker that would all relay to a Master Broker. If the master falls over, the remaining "slave" brokers vote on who will be the new "master".
  • Once the old master gets back online it becomes a slave to the new master.
• master - slave
• Inspiration: recent failure of many smart home devices after the East Coast AWS server crashed.
