Wait until they hear about cell phones.
Not mine! But my hobby is making my own smart devices.
Also known as "hmm, what else can the ESP32 do?".
Next stage - "What else can the same ESP32 do?"
There are dozens of us!
Dozens!
(They also last longer than the premade stuff, including the fairly dumb zigbee devices. Though just grabbing some ZigBee sensors is soooo much easier than cleaning up and painting small 3d printed housings...)
And they're a much nicer experience. It's funny how fast even minimum hardware performs when it's doing what I ask it to, instead of spying on me.
Soooo much nicer.
Working on tweaking a new launcher for my "Kids Version" htpc, with gcompris, a few shortcuts to some really great non-profits with education games, and of course JF. 4th gen Intel dell micro, runs like a dream...

How do you learn? I have some ESP32s that I've messed around a little bit with, and done some neat stuff...But I don't have an electronics background at all and I often have trouble even figuring out how to power the damn things safely.
Using homeassistant and esphome is a good starting place unless you want to learn python or C
What if I'm already pretty good at Python and C? :)
God damn! You know things are god damn grim when even Oswald Cobblepot has gone woke!
Or the patent with a camera to make sure you're watching the ad.
Please drink verification can.
Oh god, not again! I've already had like 8 Mtn Dews tonight!
Mountain Dew (R) Dew it right! (TM)
Congratulations! You have unlocked… Diabetes.
