Hear me out - whole home API

We all know I'm building one for all the smart stuff and system infrastructure software but I was thinking too small. This should apply to everything; vehicles, roof replacement, appliances, irrigation system, HVAC, breaker box, propane tank....

I had 2 incidents on Saturday; the first was my whole home water filters came in that I only replace once or twice a year due to smelling chlorine in the water. Turns out as AI was helping me navigate the FIVE separate cut off valves that it noticed the bypass was set to open. so my son or one of his degenerate friends had turned that valve in the basement so no water was passing through the filter anymore and I would have never known. So it got all kinds of info from me while I was going through the change out process and bleeding air out of the system.

Noticed the sump pump across the room looked a little too full of water so I had it check that and it walked me through that process too. Turns out it was ok.

Came upstairs and wife said microwave was shooting flames. and sure enough plasma balls were erupting from the metal plate on the side and I did a thorough cleaning job but still flames

Great. Now I have to replace a $419 microwave I've only had a year.

Found the old order on Amazon but no model number anywhere. So I took a photo off the back and AI told me I was a sissy man and all I needed to do was replace the metal "mica board" plate.

$15 and a day later I had a six pack from Amazon and yep, that's all it was

So as I'm watching these chats fade away forever it occurred to me all of this should make it into the API.

So that's brilliant. This house was built in the 70s and we've only been here a couple years and I'm still figuring out where everything came from, who put the roof on and when they did it and how much it cost.... shite like that.

So imagine having an API that knows everything about everything. All I have to do is say "order me a new filter for that water system I have no idea the model of" or "tell me about my 4Runner" and get the exact tires on it, when you replaced them, how much they cost, license plate#, last oil change and oil weight...

Genius. Instead of keeping up with 5 cars (don't get excited I have a big family) and too much other shite I'm never going to remember a week from now, I'll have all this static info and if polling is allowed, live info from various crap.

I'll never dig through another desk drawer looking for some random fact about my house.

No need for any software, AI is auto adding it to a gsheet for now and once it gets too big I'll move it a proper data model. Quering is as simple as a voice command or simple private webpage with a single search field.

I can't wait to expose all this on a dashboard broken by category. Gonna be fire.
