Compose UI for... a Light Switch | Jake Wharton

Recording brought to you by American Express. americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs
It runs on Android, iOS, desktop, and the web, but in this talk we'll cover how to get Compose UI running on a smart light switch built on embedded Linux.
Follow along as we journey through the process of discovering the device backdoor, figuring out how to run custom software, standing up Kotlin and Compose UI for embedded Linux, and finally building our own UI for the switch. We'll cover the intended use case of this effort, as well as other potential uses of this technology. Finally, the actual switch will be in the building for a live demo.

What. A. Nerd. Lol. Super impressive. Even more impressive than the work itself is how he kept track of all the work he did to be able to present it!

[@yassinesafraoui]

15:00 when he said binary search I was like wait what?! And then figured out the magnificence of what he just did 🤯🤯🤯

[@MaggicBones]

"I am Jake Wharton and ..." Which Android Dev doesn't know you 🤪. Great Talk🔥 !

[@rayew0621]

Jake is a freak of nature. And present in 99.9% of my projects. What the hell man idk why you did this but its epic that you did, now I can practise compose with my light switch

[@AshutoshWahanedance]

This guy is from a different planet "Jake Wharton" 👽 🔥

[@lBOSS6]

I agree 💯

[@DavidPerez-dt9nb]

kinda amazed at the flutter for embedded linux as well

[@jt_hopp]

Wow! Jetpack Compose can run on anything 😂

[@yektadev]

+ Look how cool my light switch is. - Hmm, I wonder if I can run Compose UI on it...

[@andrewtfluck]

Wow! Home Assistant is making its way everywhere, surprised it showed up during kotlinconf ❤️

[@yassinesafraoui]

The heck an open adb port with root access 😳, and this thing has a microphone?!!, so anyone on the network could hack through the device and listen on what's going on in your house???!!!

[@ricardojlrufino]

It seems like a joke, right?! .. the worst thing is that there are security cameras with telnet and root too lol

[@iRYO400]

Awesome 🎉 Liked to watch it

[@EduardCB]

The Linux ISOs that are playing on Plex =)))) Great talk! I wonder, with the Spotify Car Thing being abandoned, if Compose UI could be deployed similarly to that as well. It looks like a way too nice piece of hardware not to be given a second life.

Jake mfin wharton 🐐

[@kienvu4690]

At first I thought wait can we just simply adb install an.apk , but I looked a second time and see it's Wharton 😂

[@khalidhamid7448]

This is unbelievably complex task.

[@Salehalanazi-7]

19:32 🤣

[@swaminathbera6407]

How did you make running cmd slides like these? Anyone?

[@kienvu4690]

Asciinema with some css tweak I guess, but it could be just screen recording of his terminal.

[@Mannodermaus2]

Keynote

[@JakeWharton]

Keynote has a Keyboard animation so it's just text blocks and successive animations. Multiple slides are used to move the content up with the Magic Move transition by duplicating the original slide, highlighting all text blocks, and holding shift+up for a while. Rinse and repeat. All of that stuff was originally supposed to be live terminal use, but it was just too slow and I was already short on time.

[@wlockuz4467]

Am I the only one that's concerned about something as simple as a switch running Linux, that too with unprotected root access, and worse network access.

[@landsman737]

what a hack

[@landerlyoung9570]

Really awesome, true geek! Very enjoyed to watch this.

[@j2shoes288]

Party Tricks. No one cares, Jack!

[@Salehalanazi-7]

Go watch tech bros this isn't for you.
