7/28 Has anyone used linux in any home automation systems. x10/CP290 boxes
and such? --smitty
\_ I have a cron job that makes my coffee, adjusts the AC/heat,
calls the office to tell them I'm working from home again, and
then walks the dog.
\_ cron? who needs cron -- I only use perl
\_ Larry Wall gave a neat demo of how he uses x10 boxes at his
home in conjunction with Linux and Perl just a few months back
at SVLUG. He said that the x10 protocol was easy to use if
you could get a home automation control box with a serial
interface. I didn't pursue it any further, personally I'm
more interested in wireless ethernet at home. |
