Brian Hovborg — practical tools for connected homes

hovborg.tech  ·  smartbolig.net  ·  Projects  ·  Guides

I build small, practical tools around Home Assistant, Windows and the devices people already own.
The common thread is simple: understand the signal, make the behavior useful, and document the path from setup to result.

From the workshop

Two tools that grew from everyday work in my home lab, packaged with examples and step-by-step guides for other people to use.

Automation Lens — understand your Home Assistant automations

Automation Lens

Explore how your Home Assistant automations connect. Trace entities and actions, inspect potential loops and conflicting writes, and try a fictional home before connecting your own. Read-only analysis · English reports · Offline demo · Python

Explore the project →   English guide · Dansk guide

AI Manager — your AI tools, one Windows dashboard

AI Manager for Windows

See installed versions, available updates, release notes and update history in one Windows dashboard. Check versions whenever you want; install updates with an explicit click. Windows · PowerShell · Danish interface · English and Danish guides

Animated workshop diagram: device and sensor signals flow into Home Assistant automations, then become analyzers, dashboards and integrations.

Connected-home projects

Project What it is for
Intex Pool A Home Assistant integration and dashboard card for Intex and AGP pool equipment, including water monitoring, saltwater systems and pump control.
UniFi Protect Bridge Connects UniFi Protect webhooks and detections to Home Assistant sensors, events and automations.
UniFi Protect Bridge CLI A companion command-line tool for inspecting cameras and managing bridge-owned webhooks.
SmartBolig The Astro Starlight source for practical smart-home guides in Danish and English at smartbolig.net.
Family Safety — fixed fork A maintained fork of the archived Microsoft Family Safety integration, with a focused repair to its OAuth login flow. Original project credit and history remain in the fork.
Multi-agent A catalog of AI-agent patterns and framework adapters.

Guides before guesswork

The projects are built around reproducible setup and honest verification. Start with the guide for the project you are using; when something fails, include the version, the relevant setup, and the shortest sequence that reproduces it.

Bug reports, focused fixes and documentation improvements are welcome in the relevant repository.

Hovborg workshop motto: useful signals, understandable tools.
