The full story
After a visit to a computer museum, the maker built a small desktop microcomputer in the style of the Commodore PET. It runs on an ESP32 and lets them control Home Assistant devices in the room and see the time and weather.
They wrote the firmware with Claude. The firmware is free on their Git, and the model can be downloaded from Printables.
