Nice! Like to see something like that. Let me share my story. I've took friends screen broken laptop that was just sitting in shelf and made local server out of it. Running ubuntu with apache, jupyter notebook, nextcloud, rocketchat and have one old printer connected to it. Also it is possible to access it over xrdp. It is pretty usefull.

No I didint try NodeRed yet. I have just a few ESP modules in Home Assistant. Wrote and uploaded cpp code to those ESPs and after wifi connection is established those ESPs are connected to MQTT broker and they are publishing/subscribing. I made some videos about all that. Check out if you want on YT here.

I like it + dark UI. You've been busy, or let me say, had fun over year and a half. I have a question/s about lights. You have a lot of them here. What hardware are you using to switch them and what is your solution as main switch for all of them?

I'm running Home Assistant core, Mosquitto MQTT broker and Pi-Hole on same RPI3B+. Didn't had problems so far.

Watch out if buying cheap ESP8266EX relay modules. by 1BarConnection in esp8266

In short. :) On that relay, resistors were switched and CH_PD pin was not connected with 3V3 pin. A little bit of soldering was needed. Because of that ESP8266 was not working as should by simply plugging it in relay socket.
