ID-IOTic
This is just an text only update post to inform you of my current progress.
The Raspberry Pi in combination with openhab is quite a powerful combination. Thus far I have managed to get openHAB up and working well.
Amongst other things I've got it:
- Working with RPi GPIO Output Pins
- Responding to RPI GPIO Input Pins
- Sending emails on demand
- Capturing images using the Rpi Camera
- Controlling a remote PTZ Web Camera (Pan, Tilt and Zoom)
- Recording video footage
- Controlling and playing musing on my Squeezbox media players
- Monitoring Alarm switches
- Scheduling events
- Controlled wirelessly from an iPad
and combinations thereof - for instance
- Press a doorbell, an image is captured and is sent out as an email
- Select a tune from an iPad and play music on demand.
- Hooking up motion sensors to trigger sequences of activities.
It's a great foundation and from the experience gained thus far incorporating enOcean and other components should be doddle.
