Linux Home Automation

I have added yet another blog to my domain.

I am going to document and create a place for my home automation information. After watching the movie Ironman, and seeing Jarvis running the house, there must be something I can make that is similar to that. While I realize that was largely movie magic, the basis for all that stuff is possible.

I plan to create something similar powered by Linux. I have several Linux servers at home doing different jobs, and I love it. It’s rock solid, mostly virus proof, and the more I use it and learn, the more cool tricks I pick up and realize that most things can’t be done on Windows.

I plan to have forums on here, as well as a mailing list. I have grand visions on what I want to do to automate my home. Along the bottom of the main page, you will find a tab called Vision, which is where I will document what I plan to have my house do, and I will stroke off items as they come to fruition.
