The focus of this episode is the use of free, libre and open source software in the lovely field of home automation, a sometimes much underrated sector. Especially if you're old and cannot be bothered with heating up the pad from afar, controlling the blinds from the other side of the planet and spying on your cat trying to empty the fridge when you're not around. If that's something that sounds interesting regardless of your age, then you don't want to miss this episode. Especially if you're interested in historical aspects of home automation a few centuries ago, whether used by peasants or not.
