The sovereign smart home means controlling your internet connected devices locally, without big tech overlords watching every move. Hashrate heat is now sovereign smart home infrastructure. Follow Dylan's docs for @Exergy_LLC to command the Canaan Mini 3 from Home Assistant!
Finally documenting how to integrate a @canaanio Avalon Mini 3 into @home_assistant. Just basic controls for now, dashboard and further automations coming soon! Go build something cool.

It turns out - bitcoin miners can in fact be controlled like any other IOT home device. Open source firmware from @256FOUNDATION will unlock the flood gates to more performance, better energy/heat control, easier connections to other gadgets and more!

Earlier this year we donated BZM2 chips to @256Foundation, who distributed them to selected projects. It’s inspiring to see builders putting them to use. Giving developers access to tools is a key step in strengthening and decentralizing Bitcoin mining for the long run.🛠️
One of the developers to receive part of the @protomining Intel BZM2 donation. Give @Real_PizzAndy a follow and watch him build a 3D printer that uses Bitcoin ASICs to produce the needed heat for the print bed.

Today marks a real turning point for me. A package arrived that’s far more than hardware; it’s the foundation of a dream becoming reality. Thanks to an extremely generous donation from the @256FOUNDATION, I now have the ASIC chips that make my project economically viable. These
