minus-squarermuk@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35·6 months agoI have a General Post Office model 711 telephone. I installed a microcontroller into it and it’s now the keypad for my home alarm system. It’s also hooked into Home Assistant so I could have it for other things if I wanted.

That is just brilliant!
