Hi

I need to find someone that lives near to Beverley in the UK that wants to get involved with a “DIY SOS - Big Build” next month.

We’re going to be providing all the #Velbus hardware to control the lighting and heating / cooling.

There will be an Odroid on site that can run HomeAssistant & Node-Red.

But what I’d love to do is involve someone local to them to create a front end layout.

Nothing fancy or overly time consuming, just something nice for them to interact with.

The build is due to be handed over on May 22nd 2025.

Hi Adam

Great to e-meet you.

If you’re up for it, I’d be delighted to have a chat and see what you are happy to do for them in the time available.

Can we chat on Monday or Tuesday?

Cheers,
Stuart

I have to publicly thank @adamlonsdale for his incredible efforts over the last 9 days.

He very very patiently waited for us to complete the physical installation before working tirelessly for two days to create something truly spectacular .

Even when the donated Android tablet refused to render his creation properly, he didn’t miss a beat.
He found a solution and ensured he delivered excellence.

The entire TV production team were astounded by what he delivered, especially in such a short time.

One of my favourite moments was when a Control4 installer saw what he was doing and said, “Wow, that’s impressive”

We’ll post a link to the broadcast programme after it goes to air sometime in the autumn.

@adamlonsdale
I salute you sir :man_bowing:

Thanks also to @Cereal2nd for his tireless efforts over many years to ensure #Velbus is fully supported in HomeAssistant.

Genuinely without his work, none of this would have been possible.

Well, that’s it.

@adamlonsdale and I have delivered THREE amazing projects for #BBC and SouthShore TV.

The first will go to air in the Children in Need period.

After that, the Big Build that started this wonderful journey, which is being broadcast on BBC One on Dec 30th .

And to complete our experience is a truly incredible build we have just finished in Southampton.

We’ll update this thread when we’re allowed to.
