    I guess the suggestion box moved here so I will reiterate one idea I mentioned earlier and add one: - a classroom demonstration of some physics phenomenon ( jc2048 had some good ideas ) - a solar powered…

    Keeping with July and (northern hemisphere) Summer time, I like Douglas' ideas. Demonstration of physical phenomenon for classroom is a great avenue, I was thinking lots of solar stuff. Charging systems…

    I just came up with another great project. SARAH (Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat) is the home of Jack Carter, and was designed by Douglas Fargo to be the prototype home of the future. (TV series Eureka first aired in 2016). My system is not that fancy. But this is what it will do:

    • Security door locks, sorry I use close range  (< 10 cm) RFID, and Keypad.  as a side note, there is no power in the or at the doors.
    • Doors access controllers are not in the door. but separate.
      • Door access devices RFid, Keypads, etc run on a small emu with low voltage.
      • door access devices talk to its door controllers via RS-485
      • door controllers talk to the server via RS485  multi-drop or CANbus to the Server (Ethernet)
    • Controls the temperature in the house. I like it at 77deg F.
    • Controls the humidity in the house via a Zigbee link to Smart Dehumidifier.
      • Uses ultrasonics for water level detection.
      • Pump to empty the water is turned on-off via relays
      • Humidifier compressor power is relay controlled.
      • Humidifier fan Hi/Low and Constant/Compress On is controlled via relays as well.
    • LCD Touch Panel Controls (WWW client).
    • Controls the Heat and Cooling, without switching modes
    • Controls air quality. ie Fan Cycle.
      • 7.5 cfm per person plus 1 cfm per 100 square feet
    • Voice Recognition technology.
    • The system knows what room you are in ie sleep mode (IR movement)
    • Voice Speach technology using phonemes for natural speech
    • Network Accessible.
    • Client-Server Model
    • MORE
      • Durning new construction implant a dual e-field to locate anything moving in the house to less than 6 sq in.
      • Controls pool heat (solar water)
      • Fully off-grid power by the use of hydrogen (please see Hydrogen House Project)
        • Controls DC Power generation from 2x 5Kw Fuel Cells.  (Demand, one on all the time, Second is used when Shop is up and running. )
        • Controls AC Power generation from several AC inverters.
        • Controls Water Hydrolysis and Hydrogen Generation and Storage (two large propane tanks for low-pressure storage, less than 20psi)
      • Starts 2kw ER Generator when Fuel Cell is offline for maintenance. also, test starts generator on schedule, use of an EGT sensor to verify Generator is running, oil pressure sensor.
      • Automatic power switch over so the inverters can get in-sink.
      • Computers are backed up via UPS running remotely (no space in the house)
      • Separate power systems in the house for dedicated backup outlets.

    iOT house sounds really cool, and the more things you can do to alleviate dependency the better. The warning comes from the first episode of Season 2 Mr. Robot. Be very careful to manage security on this type of system (I swear, hackers never sleep).

    Believe it or not I have a DB system online www.phoenixtrading.biz. This was built (coded over a two year period over 10 years ago) and never had a successful hack. g-d knows they try The dB is MySQL. The web server is Apache and most of the system was written with PERL. They keep trying SQL-injection with no avail. I used to have a BSD transparent firewall before it. To bring you up to speed a Transparent Firewall works like this.

    • To the world, It looks like a chunk of wire. 
    • It does not have any way to "attach to it"  ie No URL or URI only a MAC address and as we all know you can't attach a stream to a MAC address.

    So your packet now is in the firewall system and is checked against my black-list of bad-boys.

    The system now sends your packet to one of two places its destination or rejects it if you are in the black-list.

    ok so now you try and hack the dB by entering data in the form. (but they are lazy) and use last, first and company name that are the same. This happens during the page scrape. If this defense is tripped we also grab your IPadder, and add you to the black-list which was kept in a sorted order.

    So this request was never processed. I could do this as I owned the ISP and could keep boxes where ever. but when my box became virtualized my black-list system when with it. and I never repaired it. (reprogramed).

    When running a part lookup app I use wildcard searches. My last part in hex is 15C3D (89149) but it has an id of 89234 this discrepancy is that I have a not done an update to push the new parts from the dB to the Web Server.   For a string "%NT7%"  results:

    Showing rows 0 - 29 (581 total, Query took 0.0256 sec)

    SELECT *
    FROM `info`
    WHERE `man_part` LIKE '%NT7%'
    LIMIT 0 , 30
