Users / Reference Home Automation and Security implementation
« on: July 21, 2012, 02:15:15 am »
I have been sitting on the fence with LinuxMCE installed on my spare laptop for the past 5 months without having done anything useful yet with it. Well the time has come and I would like to request some help from the community.
I have a 900 Sqfoot home in a "up and coming" neighborhood. My plan is to put together a high degree of automation in the home as well as security. Insteon looks like a good option for automation, but looks like the support for Insteon is underway in the Linux MCE per wiki. (looks like link is not allowed ).
Is there a reference implementation of Linux MCE with a DIY guide for a semi technical and handy person like me? ( I have technical background, coded for 8 years but have been away from engineering for 5+ years now.).
If such a DIY reference implementation does not exist yet and there is interest in the community to have someone put together such a reference implementation, I would love to have that opportunity if I can get support from the community to put a good system together. I.e. I will document the detailed installation in the wiki for future use of others.
Thank you in advance for your help
