I have been working on alot of home automation stuff in kubernetes.

Was wondering if there was any way of reaching you to ask some questions regarding how to possible work with this to port some stuff like my serial zwave device over so i could use it in k8s.

thanks

Hey! So sorry to keep you waiting. Sure, I would love to collaborate.

Project itself needs a little rework - update to newest version of OperatorSDK etc, I didn't have that much time lately to focus on it.

What do you have in mind? Just support for different device/manager combos?

Kind of yes :) Example:

I have one of these. https://smile.amazon.com/Aeotec-Z-Stick-Z-Wave-create-gateway/dp/B00X0AWA6E?sa-no-redirect=1

It's a zwave stick, just shows up on the server as a serial device. /dev/ttyusb0 or whatever. I have been looking at something similar for a zigbee device too. These would be used for home automation bridges to those protocols. The idea would be that I could have these things plugged in to any server (similar to your printers) and the bind them to containers elsewhere in the cluster...

Now I haven't played with kubeserial yet, and for all i know it may already do exactly what i need :)

I do want to play around with doing the printers like you have. I have a few printers on the desk here i think would be fun to play with in my cluster. I am almost ready to start my new k8s cluster for here at home. 10 pi4s rack mounted in a 2u mount.
