Compose UI for… a Light Switch | Jake Wharton

Recording brought to you by American Express. https://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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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???!!!

  • 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

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

  • 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!

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

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

  • Wow! Jetpack Compose can run on anything 😂
