Legacy gear catalog and inspiration hub. This doc preserves older hardware references, affiliate links, and blog/video write-ups for anyone browsing the full history of the Bear Stone Smart Home. For the current configuration and actively maintained gear list, start at the main README and config index below.
### Quick navigation
- [Repo overview](README.md) | [Config index](config/README.md) | [Packages](config/packages/README.md) | [YouTube](https://youtube.com/vCloudInfo) | [Blog](https://www.vcloudinfo.com)
- Looking for the latest gear tied to live automations? See the gear table in `README.md` and `config/README.md`.

### How to use this legacy guide
- Treat this as a historical reference and inspiration board. Some items are retired; others are still running but have newer counterparts in the main READMEs.
- Blog posts and videos are linked where they were originally documented so you can see the build notes and why certain choices were made.
- If you pick up any hardware here, cross-check entity names and automations in `config/` before wiring it into your setup.
