The full story

Connected to Home Assistant through HA-MCP, Claude built three automations the owner had been putting off, without them writing any YAML: lowering music when it gets too loud, detecting when the car leaves using Frigate cameras, and solar production and battery notifications.

The video is about working with Claude rather than expecting a perfect first answer: reviewing its changes, testing them, and correcting what it got wrong.

Prompt & Solder

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

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).
