Being your own Certificate Authority
Having a box of old RaspberryPi computers kicking around I wanted to make sure they weren’t just languishing around doing nothing. One problem I’ve hit recently is that many devices have self-signed certificates installed, giving certificate errors I have to bypass every time I access them.

These were sold as using the MFRC522 chip, but on inspection the chip was blank beyond an orientation marker on them. Initial experiments showed that these boards could read the MiFare Classic cards reliably, but I couldn’t get them…

OpenHab 2 – Home Automation
Something I’ve wanted to do for ages is setup some home automation. I grabbed myself a nice USB Z-Wave interface and a few devices and had a play with OpenHab2. At the time of writing OpenHab2 has some great bits and some really clunky bits. I decided to write this as a bit of a…
