Linux Home Automation Latest Posts
Trenton Computer Festival and my HA Presentation
So this last Saturday was a pretty good day for the TCF. It was cloudy, around mid-60's, threatened rain and windy. But we had no rain and it really was a comfortable. The 'Junk Yard' (the place where they sell used equipment) was small and many of the vendors lamented that it wasn't as nice as... Read more...

That sync'n feeling ...
Finally, I have the ability to sync (at least partially) between my Pantech C810 Duo+ with my Linux server and Thunderbird. I'm using Funambol on my home automation server. So far I have the contacts syncing properly and I need to work on the calendar and tasks. I'm getting partial syncing with... Read more...

Switching my server to CentOS
I've been using Fedora Core (and Red Hat before it) on my home automation server. The one thing that I've never liked was the speed at which it was time to upgrade to the next release. By the time I had my server stable I was upgrading to the next release. The problem is not Fedora's as that is... Read more...

IPV6
I decided it was time to sit down and start learning IPV6. And learn I did! I now have a dual stack (IPV4 and IPV6) on my network (wired and wireless). I went to Go6 and register for an IPV6 tunnel. I learned about link local addresses, site local addresses (a deprecated address), global... Read more...

Windows Mobile sync's with Linux!
A major battle has been fought and won today ... Okay it wasn't a major battle but one that I needed to win anyway. Today I managed to get my Pantech Duo+ to be recognized by Ubuntu and not lose my wireless connection! First I went to the Synce On Ubuntu wiki page and followed their directions... Read more...

HA presentation to LUGIP
I did my home automation presentation to LUGIP (Linux Users Group in Princeton) last night (the presentation is here). This presentation differed a bit from the previous presentation as it was more based on Linux than a general HA presentation. In my opinion it went well. It went much smoother... Read more...

A very Busy week!
This was a rather odd busy week. Classes started at Pace and I only have one this semester, "AIT381: Emerging Broadband Technologies", basically IPTV and VoIP. I am familiar with VoIP as I wrote a chapter on the subject in my book (but that doesn't mean I know a lot about it). I also have another... Read more...

Insteon coming to Europe?
Automated Home.com and Smart Home Blog has a short Blog entry on Insteon coming to the UK and Europe. I think this is a big deal as this really opens up the market to a working alternative to X10 and X10 like products. I just hope Insteon get serious about fixing it problems with the developers....

Home Automation Presentation
Recently, (Jan. 14, 2008) I presented to the PPCUG my HA presentation (found here). I think I did a pretty good job though there were a few slides I need to merge and I've decided listing the software is boring. I'll have to present working software in the next presentation (see here for a... Read more...

Home Automation Resource management
A couple of interesting articles both from the N.Y Times. The first is California Seeks Thermostat Control - the gist of the story is that the California Energy Commission wants to be able to control the temperature of your HVAC to 'manage electricity shortages'. The second article is similar but... Read more...

Learning to program
Okay so I'm a little off topic (home automation) but today Slashdot had one of it's typical rant/misrepresented articles titled: Professors Slam Java As "Damaging" To Students. Despite the fact that the title of the article misrepresented the article a number of absurd comments were made (like... Read more...

I'm a happy camper!
Sometimes it's the little things that make life better. Today I managed to properly setup my ISP and C development environment for my AT Mega 128 development board (under Linux of course). I ran a very simple blink the LED program. I properly set the fuses so the Mega128 was running off it's... Read more...
