Is there a community specific to FOSS or just general privacy oriented IoT? With plenty of hardware discussion along with software. Routers, piholes, Meshtastic, anything IoT but open source. If it touches a network but you want it to do something it doesn’t. Flashing a doorbell camera with FOSS firmware. Hosting media servers on your phones Hotspot. Loading gcode to a printer from anywhere. There are so many things and possibilities.

If there isn’t someone should start one, OpenIoT or something catchy and relevant.

I am interested and also looking for good resources, buddies that do similar… So if you find the spot or create something I could see myself in there. I like to hardware tinker, solder, flash tasmota to sonoffs31 plugs, esp3266, esp32.

I guess I could make it, but I have zero desire to be a mod. Maybe if I make it I could pass it off relatively quickly to someone relevant that wants to do that type of thing.

Yeah I hear you on that.

Maybe just find a spot to start a conversation and see what comes of it. Maybe list a couple recent projects and what you want to do next. See what other folks are working on and If enough interest.

I’m currently working on some VLAN segmentation for IOT and have several IOT things blocked from accessing the Internet (like my network printer and some smart lights) (I run openHAB for home automation locally) , I also have some DNS blocking.

I have some USB logic analyzers and want to play with sigroc but haven’t got around to that. Also built an oscilloscope and want to learn to use it more (might make a signal generator so I can use some known frequencies and such) to ensure the oscilloscope is dialed in.
