On: The accidental genius of Yo

[sambostock]

Years ago, I hooked up my apartment buzzer to Yo with a raspberry pi. https://github.com/sambostock/yoorbell It was super insecure, but if you yo'd it, it would let you in, and if someone buzzed the buzzer, it would yo me. Exactly as much info as needed.

My doorbell broke months ago.

Eventually I decided I like it much better this way.

Tell that to my neighbors, whose guests love to sit out in the parking lot of my apartment building and honk to get their attention. :/

Ooh I did a similar thing at in college where I used a raspberry pie to hook up the door handle to speakers to play “The Boys are Back in Town” whenever someone opened up our front door at the beginning of the semester.
