This seems to be a hot topic lately. The other day i saw another post on a pi home security system that worked on the same lines as yours. Very cool though i will have to check it out.

Hi,

I'm working on a very similar system with my raspi. but i use a 74HC4050 (high to low level shifter), on a seperate powered board, as protection for the gpio ports. So i can use a wide range of sensors (up to 12V supply voltage) without damaging my gpio ports. further I can choose to go to open collector outputs (like gertboard) for switching higher current devices as relais etc...
1-Wire sensors providing data about my heating system and room temperatures. so i can control it over my android phone from far away!

I hope that I can finish it soon, but there are always new ideas... ;-))

Sounds great! Once you have it built hook it up to our dashboard.
