I let AI build a tool to help me figure out what was waking me up at night(martin.sh)

I like the temperate graph halfway down the page. It looks like two decaying exponentials alternating every ~40 minutes, with the downward one steeper than the upward one. It's a neat visualization of hysteresis, where the thermostat presumably has a different temperature threshold for turning off or turning on (or perhaps there's a minimum time between state switches). Without the scale it's hard to know for sure.

Yes it’s the AC keeping the temperature. I have different targets set depending on season and time of night (cooler to fall asleep, warmer in the morning). Added this data because I already have it in Home Assistant and you never know what other crazy conclusions you can get from looking at the data :D

There is software for sound localization:

Claude of course has a nasty habit of reinventing every wheel.

We may be entering the age of "disposable software" (some people politely call it "on-demand software"). Until recently, coding was a highly specialised skill and was relatively expensive. So writing custom code for personal whimsy was a luxury only software developers could afford. Not anymore.

I was under the impression that the pattern "I have a problem -> let's ask AI" is frowned upon here.

I’m also a little surprised about it. The reason I wrote this post was to send the message: I wouldn’t have done this if it wasn’t for the AI tooling

It seems fine if you express what you did without focusing on the code.

It resonates well with what some people have been saying about building software for 1 person.

Sounds like "observability, for sleep".

It’s funny how many things can boil down to "rich distributed traces" and events / logs.

How did they filter out the snoring and talking in their sleep?

What about using a white noise machine? I blast mine next to my head when I sleep, and I never wake up in the middle of the night anymore.

I'm much more interested in the app and what they learned than anything to do with AI. Leave that part out, imo.

This could easily be sleep apnea

what a waste of technology. you could have had a pen and graph paper hooked up to an microphone 100 years ago and looked for the spikes in the time set.

Yeah idk why home assistant needed to get involved. I guess to turn the system on and off according to his heuristic.?

it could also be common sense.. you live in a noisy city and you are wondering what the noise is.... maybe it could be the city itself? how about sleep in a different smaller town and then ask yourself the same question, you'll probably get a different answer.

I'm not sure if things are really that simple, at least from my personal experience. I think the quality of noise and noise floor can make a difference
