A Rainmeter dashboard with Claude describing camera events

Claude built most of a Rainmeter desktop dashboard fed by Home Assistant, and also writes plain-language descriptions of camera motion events shown on it.

The full story

This desktop dashboard runs in Rainmeter on an ultrawide screen, pulling data from Home Assistant: weather, clocks, room temperatures, flight tracking and network stats. The owner says Claude built about 95% of it while he handled the Home Assistant side.

His favourite addition: when a Vivint camera detects motion, an automation sends the image to Claude, which writes a natural-language description that appears on the dashboard in near real time.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
