Here are some ideas for you, hope this helps:

Raspberry Pi Projects:

Media Server:
Set up a media server using Raspberry Pi. Use software like Kodi to organize and stream your media content.

Weather Station:
Build a weather station using Raspberry Pi. Collect data using sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure) and display it on a web interface.

The Parent Detector:
Create a motion detector using minimal hardware. When motion is detected, trigger a video recording using the Raspberry Pi camera module.

FM Radio Station:
Turn your Raspberry Pi into a low-power FM radio station. Explore the world of radio broadcasting.

LED Art:
Design and build LED art using addressable LED strips controlled by Raspberry Pi. Create dynamic visual displays.

Arduino-Based Home Automation Projects:

Smart Home Lighting:
Use Arduino to control smart bulbs or LED strips. Create custom lighting scenes based on time of day or occupancy.

Automated Plant Watering System:
Build an automated plant watering system using soil moisture sensors and a water pump. Keep your plants healthy without manual intervention.

RFID Door Lock:
Create an Arduino RFID door lock. Unlock doors using RFID cards or tags.

Smart Speaker with Voice Control:
Combine Arduino with a speaker module to build your own voice-controlled smart speaker. Interact with it using voice commands.

Home Security System:
Develop a basic home security system using Arduino. Include motion sensors, door/window contacts, and a notification system.

Explore Further:

Arduino IoT Cloud:
Unleash the potential of your projects by integrating them with the Arduino IoT Cloud. Create custom dashboards for control and data visualization.
Set up voice control with Amazon’s Alexa for seamless interaction.

Remember, the possibilities are endless! Choose a project that excites you, gather the necessary components, and start building. Happy making! 🚀🔌
