Branch
This branch is an execution lane inside Home Automation and IoT: closely related guides, builds, and validation work that should stay clustered instead of scattering across the library.
Build one observable event path from a disposable camera/test stream through Frigate and MQTT into a Home Assistant automation, with pinned configuration and payload-level validation.
Use one known-compatible metering device to distinguish instantaneous power (W) from accumulated energy (kWh), validate Home Assistant statistics, and prove a threshold automation safely.
