Ordered more home automation stuff
January 19th, 2008
I like gadgets, probably too much, I also like integrating everything with everything else, so on rolls HA or Home Automation.
I’ve already had a X10 setup for a while that allows me to control lights, I’ve integrated this with Asterisk (with help from Adhearsion) which allows me to control lights from any phone, I also hooked Asterisk up with Amarok.
Well today I ordered some 1-Wire hardware to play with, I didn’t fancy running more cables for the 1-Wire setup and found HA7Net which is a Ethernet to 1-Wire gateway basically, the only problem with it seems to be you need to scrape the embedded web server as it doesn’t provide any kind of web service. I also ordered a 1-Wire temperature sensor to mess around with, and help me make a Ruby gem for the HA7Net.
I’ll try and get around to documenting what hardware I’ve got setup, as I can never remember what’s where and providing what (from VoIP phones, NAS, embedded machines, servers, consoles to a Nabaztag).
