Key points

  • With winter coming up where I'm at, I wanted to see if this could actually work.
  • I settled on using a motherboard temperature sensor with an offset cause cases get hot.
  • It works well enough but I want an esp32 based thermostat eventually.
  • This project is based around the vLLM backend I use, and pauses heating when inference is needed.
