So I attach a micro-module to each light switch.  And I plug a computer interface device into my computer and power point and it sends the signal via the power points?

Does the micro-module come with instructions on how to wire it behind a light switch?  Do you have a link for the computer interface device?

Thanks.

What is the link to the google video?

Can someone make some youtube videos of how to setup the various aspects of LinuxMCE?

I think videos would be really useful and help out people like me.  A different one for each thing that is possible would be useful.

• PLCBUS
• X10
• Clipsal C-Bus
• Lighting
• Blinds
• Sprinklers
• Temperature control
• Security Cameras
• Media Director
• Core
• Tv Recording

How do I install that device?  How does it connect to the lights?  And how does it connect to the computer?

What is the device I put behind the light switch called?  Where can I buy them from?

Thanks.

I am still confused.  I don't want to have lamps that plug into special powerpoints.  How do I use regular lights?

I want to get Linux MCE and setup some home automation stuff.

I want to control my lights, blinds, alarm, thermostat, security cameras and sprinklers with Linux MCE.

Can I do all of that with PLC-BUS?

How do I set it up?  I guess I have to connect something to my computer.  And what type of wiring do I need in the walls to connect the lights and blinds?  How does the computer talk to all the home automation stuff?  I don't want to plug in lamps into X10 power points I want control my lights and blinds and sprinklers directly.

How do you connect the alarm and security cameras?

What about the thermostat?

Any help would be appreciated.  Are there any good how to guides for total beginners?

Can someone please post the url that they bought their home automation stuff from?  I have no idea where to buy home automation stuff from in Australia.

What are the websites that I can order PLCBus and Instabus/EIB/KNX from?

Hi,

I want to set up Linux MCE.  I live in Australia.  Where can I buy the hardware for lights, blinds, sprinklers, security cameras and temperature control?

Also what hardware do other Australians have?  Where did you get it?  Do you recommend it?  How much did it cost?

Any info would be appreciated.
