The Workshop

Physical device that spends its first 24 hours in learning mode, establishing what wireless devices normally exist in and around a home. After that, it detects unknown devices that approach or enter the home and can trigger reactions: lights coming on, smart-home responses, alerts. Sits in the same category ADT externally validated with its $170M acquisition of Origin AI (2027). In use with early customers; refining through feedback. An App for push alerts would be a real addition.

Commercial pest monitoring for exterminators. Sensors wake up at night and track rodent activity; by repositioning sensors after the first few nights, a property owner or exterminator can narrow in on entry points and likely nest locations. Unlike traditional bait stations or sticky traps that only confirm presence, RodentRadar helps locate the source. The value exterminators actually buy isn't monitoring — it's not having to send a tech and a truck on a scheduled check when the data says nothing has changed. In market with real customers; partner program active; refining the pitch and product through direct feedback. Exterminator dashboard lives as a LAMP memberpage.

Most people who are aging want to stay in the home they love. Families want them safe there. Payers want to delay or avoid institutional care costs. Those three wants line up, but making staying-at-home actually work is hard — managing a parent at home is structurally a small business. Training caregivers, scheduling them, paying them, tracking inventory, logging vitals, communicating short-term and long-term, and getting real information to providers fast enough to matter. MedicationDiary is the operating system for that business. The customer is the family member who has, by default, become the operator.

Sensor hardware feeds the system automatically so humans don't have to log everything by hand. The pill dispenser's dish uses an ESP32 capacitive pin and a copper strip — approach or touch registers as an engagement event. A help button is graduated rather than binary, routing over MQTT to a concerned neighbor, a family member within driving distance, or family across the world, depending on context. Motion sensors learn the patient's movement patterns (bed to bathroom, duration, variance) and flag incomplete trajectories. Cameras exist but view only when something has triggered. The same trigger logic that fires alerts can fire home automation — lights on the bathroom path when the patient gets up at night. When something does go wrong and the patient ends up at an ER unable to communicate, a QR scan surfaces current meds, what was taken today, yesterday's caregiver notes, and recent vitals — the medically-actionable dossier the system has been quietly maintaining. Most of the category is building single components; MedicationDiary is building the operations layer they all feed into. The original project — the sensing platform that became DuoCore was built for this; RodentRadar and WiSpyAlert came first as simpler applications of the same hardware.

QR-code-driven offer collection on physical items. Paste a code on something you're selling; buyers scan and submit offers; negotiate asynchronously. Also serves as the online bidding layer for EstateSalesUSA — remote buyers can bid on higher-value estate-sale items without attending in person. Useful anywhere informal selling happens: downsizing, driveway sales, small-shop inventory.

Personal life OS: tasks, projects, health, finance, an 11-dimension daily score, and an AI agent named Bit. LAMP marketing/info site at bithustle.com; the App is the product. The founder runs his own life on it daily. Also serves internally as the agent-and-workflow layer that orchestrates development across the portfolio, running on Claude Code.

Helps married couples who both have employer healthcare recover compensation they lose when one spouse joins the other's plan. Companies often give up significant value that couples don't realize they can capture. Pointed at dual-income households.

Queue-position marketplace. Where first-come-first-served matters — events, appointments, service trades, sales — EntryOrder lets people buy, sell, and manage position in line. Service customers can book with deposits; automated waitlists fill cancellations instantly. An App would extend the product meaningfully.

DIY estate sale platform. Lets a family run their own sale rather than engaging an estate sale company that takes a large cut. Handles a website for the sale, credit and debit card processing, and organized entry. Pairs with BestOfferQR for online bidding on higher-value items, so remote buyers can participate. Together a coordinated toolkit for someone running an estate sale themselves.

Tooling for short-term-rental turnovers. Drawn from direct operating experience running Airbnbs through 25,000+ guest stays. Addresses the actual operational problems turnover teams face. Current LAMP site handles the logic; an App would add real-time alerts and rapid communication between owner and cleaners.

Alphabet learning for young children using their own family photos instead of generic flashcards. Adapts to focus on letters a specific child struggles with. One-time purchase, runs on any device, no app store. Known issue: PWA audio on Apple devices needs fixing.

Turns acts of kindness into real donations. Volunteer, give blood, tutor a kid — your sponsors pledge a micro-donation every time you do something good, and the money goes to the charity you choose. A scoreboard for good deeds that generates actual giving.
