#+title: Home Intercom Replacement
#+filetags: :project:

A project to fix and/or update the intercom system in [[id:2059634f-422e-4be2-8812-22f5f0dc2626][Our house]].

* Home automation controls
- Interface with [[id:5aeea464-e1ed-46e4-9293-87edaf385051][Home Assistant]] to control lights and miscellaneous sensors.
* Audio and video calling
- Consider leveraging [[https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet][Jitsi Meet]], an open-source video conferencing system.
* Customizeable user interface
** Themeable
Might be nice to build an LCARS-style interface, but other themes could be
** Modular
I'd like to have one of these in my apartment, not just at Stephanie's house.
This means different sensors, appliances, and functionality may be present at
any particular installation point, and should be easy to configure.
