Hey guys. Please excuse my ignorance. I am currently trying to find an alternative to my power hungry windows 7 Homeseer server for home automation. Right now I have a handful of x10 light modules, x10 remotes, x10 motion detectors, Zwave Trane Thermostat, and a Weeder I/O board used to monitor home security window/door switches.
Would it be possible to install LinuxMCE on the Raspberry Pi or a Pogoplug pink (Arch linux). I am somewhat familiar with Linux having used Mythtv for a number of years. I also use a Unix workstation for my job but I am not a programmer or a system administrator. I can follow directions and can usually noodle stuff through, but far from a developer. I am just curious to see if this might be a way I can take my HA. Any information is greatly appreciated.
have a look at: http://www.agocontrol.com/ (http://www.agocontrol.com/)
Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately it looks like it doesn't support X10!
It does support every home automation protocol that you can get a library for.
All you need to do, is invest a bit of your time, and hari will help you to get things going. You wouldn't be the first to go from no-programmer, to programmer in a 2 weeks time. And the feeling the first time your program does something is *INCREDIBLE*
A developer is currently looking at making it possible for a Raspberry Pi to function as a media director within LinuxMCE, but we wouldn't recommend running a LinuxMCE core on it... there isn't that much power. ;)

Is it known if developers have made the Pi work as a media director within LinuxMCE?

Testing MD setups on a 1204 core now. Working (slowly) on media playback. It functions but with some issues. Not production ready atm. J.
