Join us at the next IT DIY Budapest Meetup in February, where we'll share three exciting solutions with you. All levels of expertise are welcome. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned practitioner in the world of home automation and microcontrollers, feel free to join us.

=================

**Talk 1: Hey Google, turn the AC on! (Zoltán Kauker)**
When you live in a hot climate, getting the temperature down in your apartment by the time you get home makes life more comfortable. In this project, I turned an old-school Daikin AC into a smart device by integrating it with Google Assistant. The project involved some basic electronics, some coding, and loads of fun.

**Talk 2: CubeTime (Márton Lőrinczi)**
I created a small device for my girlfriend who always fights with timelines. She was looking for some kitchen timers, but the ones on the market are ugly and not so ergonomic. I came up with an idea to make a cube with six 2x7-segment LED displays. Each side represents different times to count down. Of course, controlling it with buttons was too easy, so I thought why not control it with hand motions? I had a lot of fun developing it. It is a pure example of how creating something with a small number of components can lead to countless possibilities.

**Talk 3: Web App for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 (Gergely Sipos)**
This hobby project makes it possible to share your D&D 3.5 homebrew content, and manage your campaigns, characters, spells, feats, and many other things in one place.

📣 Meet the speakers

**Zoltán Kauker (Data Architect, Aliz)**
"Back in the early 90s, I used to ask my father to write a secret on paper. He’d then write a program that I’d type into the computer to see what it did. The first time I could see big, robust (or other times pretty fragile) systems at scale was during my university years. The integration tasks between these beasts were my sweet spots. In 2012, I joined Aliz and experienced more of our world; I had the chance to live in Dubai and Singapore for a while and ended up working on data-related projects. I'm a huge fan of electronics, IoT, music, and hiking, so these are what I mostly do outside office hours."

**Márton Lőrinczi (Backend Developer, Norbit Hungary)**
"After spending some years learning mechanical engineering, I switched to an embedded programming course at GreenFox Academy. Five years ago I finished the course and started my professional journey. I’ve contributed to many hardware startup projects. Some of them were successful and some of them failed, but creating is fun so it doesn't matter. I have switched to higher level languages because it annoyed me that I couldn’t understand what the web developers were talking about."

**Gergely Sipos (Frontend Architect, Aliz)**
"I’ve been working at Aliz since 2012. Back then, everyone was doing both backend and frontend work. I liked seeing the visible result of my work, so I shifted toward frontend development. I like working on projects where we have an exceptionally good relationship with the client, when they trust us and we work with each other. In my free time, I take salsa classes and play some fun video games."
