Users / Starting new project, need advice
June 23, 2009, 11:38:06 PM
Hi guys,
This is my first post over here. I did some reading before, but I would like to check somethings with you before starting my project. I have no experience with LinuxMCE, however I am a long term MythTV user (for over 6 years I think, "the very unstable years" ;-). Did some little dev work on that before, so I know (allbeit a little) some things...
At the moment I am thinking about setting up a LinuxMCE project. I am building a new house and want it somewhat automated and centralized and would like your advice.
The plan:
- We are using EIN/KNX modules for home automation / domotica. As I read LinuxMCE can control KNX modules and be a GUI for that stuff?
- I don't care to much about controlling my home from my tv screen, I'd rather use a touch screen on the wall and a handheld touch screen (I would like the iPhone, but that's for the future I read?). That would be possible with LinuxMCE, I think? However would it be ideal?
- We have a rather fancy living room with lots of glass walls. I would like to hang my TV on the wall and place my MD in another room, so there is nothing on the floor. Would that be possible?
- I would like multiroom audio. At the moment I am using iTunes on a Mac with the iPhone Remote and a airport and an AplleTV. Can all this be integrated? Or would it be better to use a multizone amplifier, and would it be possible to control this from a LinuxMCE Orbiter?
-The main idea about my setup would be a rather minimalistic design. I mean no MD or squeezeboxes throughout the house, but everything nicely stowed away (in a centralised room?).
- Anyone had a setup like this and would like to share experiences?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Peter
