Hi,

I'm currently building a new home in ocean county, NJ, and i'd like to wire it up for everything possible, so here's what i'm doing - can anyone guide me what else i should do.

I want linuxMCE to control the following:

1. sound system - so i'm running 18/4 stranded and a cat5e to a volume control in every room and 18/2 to each speaker
2. alarm system - need help here (what kind of wire to run and where) - i'd prefer to use motion sensors put in strategic location aroud the house.
3. video surveillance system - i'm running cat 5e to each location i might put a camera
4. climate control - need help here (again - what kind of wire)
5. phone/intercom system - running a cat 5 to anywhere i may put a phone

I'd appreciate any input i can get.

i got 5000 feet of cat 5e. so i'd prefer to use that if possible....


thanks in advance

Joseph

let me take a look again, and see if it works that way, and i'll be happy to contribute toward the project.

oh, and by the way, don't be nasty to a guy who's willing to pay to help the project along....

no i mean that if i set an event where i can have the lights go on, and the curtains close (i'm not sure i can actually get something to do that) at sunset, and then have the curtains open at sunrise.

- and during the winter that would be much ealier than in the summer, so that info is obviously dependant on my location, and time of year

i played with LMCE a bit, but didn't see that feature.

i'm building a home, and would like to stick with LMCE for all my needs, so i was wondering how we can do that

Hi,

i'm willing to pay someone who develop the code to be able to set events based on sunrise/ sunset.

i think all that info can be pulled from a number of websites based on a zip code.

please contact me with your price at leiba2652_ at gmail dot_ _com

thanks

HI EVERYONE,
I was wondering if in the future we can include a way to set lights to go on at sunset (or to base an event on that info).

i think the way to do that would be to have a way to set a location, - perhaps based on the area code, and pull the sunrise/sunset info from the goverment websites.

if there's anyone interested in working on this i would be willing to work with them to implement such a feature....

thanks in advance

Joseph
