Turn Your Rancilio Silvia (E/V5/V6) into a Smart Device!

Описание

In this video I mod my EU version of the Rancilio Silvia V5 (Model E) which contains a Gicar Relay that shuts off the machine after 30min of idling as a power saving measure. With this mod I remove that useless function and replace the on/off switch so that I can control the machine with Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant smart home integrations.

The parts I used in the video can be found here:

By the way, I didn't bother blurring the HomeKit QR code because I already sent back this smart plug since it doesn't work with Home Assistant ?
