Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Aria James … Pi, any recommended libraries or frameworks that make working with sensors and relays easier under Linux and common security or performance… Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Dani I assume your son is no longer a baby, but nowadays you can get Nest temperature sensors to put in different areas of your home. You can officially tell Nest to control the HVAC based on the temperature of the family room during the day and the temperature of the bedroom at night, for example. Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by trcooke Hello, I'd probably start with an open source off the shelf solution such as https://www.home-assistant.io/ There are tutorials on their site that cover installation onto a raspberry pi so you should be able to get to and running fairly quickly. It sounds like a fun project so please do let us know how you get on. Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Dani What about using something like [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/)? Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by trcooke Oh yes IFTTT definitely a good shout. I've had some success with it in the past. When our son was a baby we had real trouble keeping his room warm in the winter because the upstairs thermostat was out in the hall which was nice and toasty from all the heat of the house rising to meet it, while his bedroom with the door closed was cold. I … Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by trcooke Indeed not. He's 7 now. Yes you can get those free standing mounts, but I don't have any. My thermostats are wired into the wall. It'd be cool if you could just pop them off the wall and stick them on a stand anywhere you like, but alas you cannot. Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Dani Huh?

Although Amazon UK are selling them and there are lots of angry reviews left. Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Dani How can you bear to live in such an uncivilized country?! Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Dani P.S. Here in the US, our Nests are directly connected to the HVAC system hardwired in the wall, so they aren’t movable at all.

It won't have access. I recommend a desktop application. Transmitting the data using a webservice can work just fine. A lot of Javascript chart solutions already support getting a live dta feed from a server. Re: Sensors and webpages Programming Web Development by JasonPS Hi @pritaeas, thanks for the reply. You are right, the 'sensor end' would have to use a desktop app (prob written in C/C++). I think where I'm getting stuck is the part between this desktop app and the download browser.

And no, this won't transmit. I think the easiest option to start with (communicating from desktop to server) would be a REST service.
