Current Status:
2013
2013/02/21 - Pytomation - Pytomation is an extensible open source automation system written in Python. It's uses include home automation and lighting control but is certainly not limited to those functions.
2013/02/07 - Misterhouse - This is My effort to get Misterhouse back on the map. The Misterhouse project is not dead. The main Sourceforge page is back under the community's control (Yea!). The most useful code can be picked up from the git repository (explanation on the WIki pages)
2012
2012/10/27 - Open Energy Monitor - a project to develop open-source energy monitoring tools to help us relate to our use of energy, our energy systems and the challenge of sustainable energy.
2012/04/05 - I've added the Freedomotic project, an Open Source Building Automation (a universal building automation framework) and my gHCS a Home Control System functionally based on Steve Ciarcia's HCS II (Z180 based SC and remote comm-links) to the growing list of HA projects.
2012/02/27 - Before anyone gets too crazy, no I haven't forgotten about my Linux HA pages. I have been busy with a lot of general day to day life that I've not had to deal with all at once. I'm still putting a lot of work into testing things and playing with technology. I've just been doing more of it for my employer. I have a few software projects in the works (such the as gHCS project), while building my garage work bench to build my electronics. And I've joined IXR - The Institute for eXploratory Research, a Hackerspace or Makerspace.
2011
2011/04/24 - Well I completed my HA Presentation and it went well (I'll post details in my HA blog later on). I'm working on several things (some HA related, most work related) and I've updated a few links that have changed or have gone missing. So far this has been an exciting year and I'm exhausted. Hopefully I'll catch up soon and get back to working on my HA stuff. I'll try to get pictures posted of my HA DollHouse. I'll post the instructions to build one and a few quick clips of it in action in the weeks to come. My friend D has given me a few more new ideas for next year's presentation. :-)
2011/04/03 - I'm about as far behind on work to be done as can be. A little episode with my job threw my world into turmoil and it's only just getting resolved (thank God!).
Yesterday, Saturday, April 2nd, I presented another home automation presentation and demo. The material is on my TCF 2011 Presentation page
2011/01/22 - I'm working with Z-Wave so updated to the Z-Wave Page and a new project called OpenZWave. I'm also getting some ZigBee stuff so I hope to have more on that too.
2011/01/02 - Happy New Year, as usual, I have more hardware on the way. The material for my Trenton Computer Festival (TCF) presentation is moving along wonderfully! I have a nice link to an interview that Marc Merlin did with Omnes.tv on MisterHouse.
Device Drivers - Okay I can't recall why this is here (???).
2010/12/25 - Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas (to those that celebrate) and a Happy New Year! May all of us live a more peaceful existance.
I've been trying to figure out where Cocoontech fits and I already have them in the forum section but Cocoontech has much more. So I'm adding them to the Blogs section too.
2010/12/18 - One more HAI OmniPro 2 project (in C) added to the Projects section
2010/12/14 - Another HA, mochad, Multiple Online Controllers for Home Automation Daemon. Basically it's support for the CM15A & CM19A using LibUSB instead of my kernel driver.
