Own-home IoT, under 12 hours: YuriRDev’s PC controls

Short version

He says 100% of the IoT at home that used to sit on proprietary software was reversed with AI, and that he controls it from his PC. He puts the whole effort under 12 hours. Three things he lists: LED strips that a proprietary infrared app used to drive; Intelbras cameras he already had; and a Media air conditioner (his wording). For the lights, he sent a photo of his room to Claude and describes a 3D model of that room as the control surface. He is explicit that he is not open-sourcing it.

Credit: YuriRDev, @YuriRDev. He writes that open-sourcing does not make sense for him: as it stands, it works for him — no login, the design he wants, his camera model, his AC model, no settings tab. That choice is his. rea.run does not republish a private app and does not fill in steps the post left out.

What the author described

1. Own devices. LED strips previously driven by a proprietary IR app; Intelbras cameras he already owned; a Media air conditioner, in the author’s words.
2. Model credit. He attributes the work to AI. A photo of his room, sent to Claude, became a 3D model he uses to control those lights.
3. What he says the software does. From his PC: control the lights on that room model; open his own Intelbras cameras in one click, without the freeze he associates with the vendor app; control the air conditioner. He calls the result plug-and-play for himself.
4. What he did not publish. No repository, no protocol notes, no IR codes, no camera pairing flow. This page does not add them.
5. Demo. The clip above is a self-hosted copy of the attached video (~34 seconds). Full context stays on the X post.

How this relates to REA

REA is the local MCP/CLI that lets a coding agent inspect software you are allowed to analyze and return Evidence plus unknowns. YuriRDev’s post is the same lawful shape — own devices, an assistant, a control surface that fits the person who owns the hardware. If you want that Evidence loop on a target you own, install REA and keep approval with the human.

Install. Paste into your agent, or run it yourself: npx rea-agents@latest setup. Then restart the client. Walkthrough: /docs/install/ · Codex demo: /docs/install-demo/.

Nearby cases. @thinkszyg’s toilet BLE remote, @greco_dev’s TV demo, and @BrOrlandi’s scale dashboard are other own-device stories on the same wall.

What to copy (authorized hardware only)

• [ ] The lights, cameras, and air conditioner are yours, or you have written permission
• [ ] You do not point a listener or a client at a neighbor’s cameras or HVAC
• [ ] You do not publish account tokens, pairing secrets, IR codes, or a method that controls someone else’s unit
• [ ] You do not treat this page as a DRM-bypass, account-bypass, or vendor-cloud recipe
• [ ] If you add REA, you ask for Evidence and unknowns — not a vibe-only story
• [ ] His decision not to open-source stays his; this page is a credit, not a source drop
