> claude can call ssh and do system admin tasks

Claude set up a Raspberry Pi with a display and conference audio device for me to use as an Alexa replacement tied to Home Assistant.

I gave it an ssh key and gave it root.

Then I told it what I wanted, and it did. It asked for me to confirm certain things, like what I could see on screen, whether I could hear the TTS etc. (it was a bit of a surprise when it was suddenly talking to me while I was minding my own business).

It configured everything, while keeping a meticulous log that I can point it at if I want to set up another device, and eventually turn into a runbook if I need to.
