YouTube creator PewDiePie (Felix Kjellberg) has returned with a new video that dives into his growing interest in DIY tech. The video highlights three of his recent projects: a custom dog spy cam, a voice-controlled nightstand clock, and a weather display inspired by Tamagotchis.
Monitoring His Dogs With a Homemade Spy Cam
After selling his Tesla and losing access to its “Dog Mode,” PewDiePie wanted a privacy-friendly alternative to monitor his dogs. Instead of using commercial pet cameras, he built his own using a Raspberry Pi, camera module, and sensors to track temperature and humidity. The result is a 3D-printed, portable device that streams real-time video and data.
A DIY Clock to Replace Alexa
Tired of Amazon Alexa updates and privacy issues, PewDiePie decided to build a custom voice-activated clock. Using open-source software and Raspberry Pi components, he created a retro-style device with a small speaker and screen. The project involved several trial-and-error moments, but he eventually delivered a working, personalized smart clock—no subscriptions required.
A Tamagotchi-Inspired Weather Helper
In Tokyo, unpredictable weather and wardrobe choices led PewDiePie to invent a creative solution: a weather display using an e-ink screen. The screen shows a digital avatar dressed appropriately for the day’s forecast, which he says was inspired by his wife Marzia’s daily outfit planning. He jokes that it’s like a Tamagotchi that takes care of you.
Humor, Sponsors, and a DIY Message
True to his style, PewDiePie mixes humor and personal stories with sponsored segments from brands like Incogni and Saily. The video reflects his passion for privacy, independence, and hands-on problem-solving.
PewDiePie’s latest upload blends tech savvy with entertainment, making it a standout for fans and DIY enthusiasts alike.
