Introduction
Home automation is the residential extension of "building automation". It is automation of the: Home Housework or Household activity. Home automation may include centralized control: Lighting of entire house HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) Appliances and Other systems (Like Home Weather Station, digital receptionist, etc) Home Automation (HA) provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Bringing the Future Home

Automate chores such as watering your lawn, opening and closing drapes, controlling your lights and appliances even controlling your electric water heater
Use motion sensors to turn on floodlights and cameras outside your home. Or turn on lights indoors as you walk from room to room, create an automatic doorbell, and more. Use water sensors to inform you of leaking plumbing, both minor or major, while youre at home or away for the day or on vacation. (Why not have your computer call you to let you know?) Control your lights and appliances remotely via the Internet or a telephone Remotely adjust your thermostat so you can warm up your home before you get there.

Bringing the Future Home (Contd.)

Zone your heat and automatically adjust it to make my home comfortable in the areas that were using, and energy efficient in those areas that we arent. Set up a home surveillance system by using webcams. Keep your eye on your home remotely via webcams and the Internet. Set up your computer to alert you to storms in your area or any area you specify by e-mailing you or calling your cell phone or pager. Security monitoring doors and windows fire, smoke, water

Software's
Linux (as a server) Linux is an open source and free os. We use Linux os as a server. We can customize linux kernel and make work for new devices. Mister House (Web Interface) MH is written entirely in Perl. It has a rather strange Object Oriented method of coding because MH writes some of it's Perl code at startup. Plenty of examples exist. Mail lists are very friendly and supportive. Heyu (Control X10 Devive ) Heyu is a command-line-based program that you can use to control your homes lights and appliances via X10 devices. Its written in the C computer language. You can, among other things, use Heyu to store a schedule of events and macros in the CM11As memory, which it can execute even when not connected to the computer. In Chapter 13, you build a starter X10 kit by using Heyu.
