Sub-1GHz Bands, Augmented Alarm and Alert systems, Bird Feeder Defender, or Home Decoration Projects? What projects do you want to work on next?

I went with sub-Gigahertz BUT the Bird Feeder Defender sounds awesome as well.  I have an idea for the sub-Gig, but my gut says the bird feeder defender will be way more fun - if I can figure something out.

I also went with sub-gigahertz as I also have an interesting project idea, that I can hopefully finish in time.. 

How about a device to make your picnic or outdoor relaxing more pleasant ?  An automatic drink refresher, bug repellents, auto turn on tiki torches, etc ???  

A rodent ate the 24V data signal that goes to the condenser of the cooler outside of my building.  I am just wondering why there is no wireless solution for it instead of rewiring through the building. The repair guy said he hasn't seen such a thing.

It isn't a decoration, but I really want to build a lighting system for my workbench that gets lots of light to the bench regardless of of how many instruments are stacked on the bench shelves.

A bird feeder seems like a great idea. I had a bird feeder that I've build with my son and every weekend we would fill it with food and just watch them every morning - dozens of those little feathery friends - to go and have a great time.

I would do something like that, but with some automation, like a camera and some twitter updates or an automatic alarm to send me a message to go and fill the feeder .. Something on those lines..

I put these in the workshop and the garage. They are helpful as long as there are bulb sockets in the ceiling. COB LED strips would be another possibility for a DIY

My project idea straddles home decoration and sub 1GHz bands.  I like the way the early transistor radios look.  Their overall design and aesthetic are just beautiful.  Anyway I was thinking of 3D printing a shell that resembles those old radios.  In terms of functionality I was going to see if I could create a little board that taps into the internet and acquires the channels that way.  That would allow the ability to 'tune' to channels beyond my local broadcast range.  But the more I think about it, that sort of thing seems needlessly complicated.  Maybe just giving it regular AM/FM functionality will be good enough.

I am using something very similar right now, but they are not ideal for my set up.

Augmented alarm and alert systems sounds like a good idea and definitely something that can also be used in our homes!
