What it does

homectl runs a lightweight Rust‑based server that lets you control smart‑home devices (lights, switches, sensors) via a simple HTTP API.

When to use it

•You need a self‑hosted home‑automation hub and don’t want a cloud‑only solution.
•Your team prefers Rust for performance and security over Node‑ or Python‑based hubs.
•You want a single binary you can run on a Raspberry Pi or any Linux box without extra runtime dependencies.

Ready-to-paste prompt

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/device/living_room_light -d '{"state":"on"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

Heads up: The binary requires a recent Rust toolchain (rustc 1.70+). If you run on a Raspberry Pi, make sure you have the `armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` target installed, otherwise the build will fail.
