Linux Home Automation

I have been reading through the code to Mister House. It looks pretty amazing and appears to be exactly what I am after in regards to home automation. The voice portion looks very promising. Integrating it with x10 and front end tablets seems to be an excellent base on what I want to do.

Checkout this code snippet on a morning routine.

#———————————–
# Example of how to wake up somebody
#———————————–

if (said $v_wakeup_parents) {
$sleeping_parents = 0;
&pa_sleep_mode(‘all’, 0);
speak(“rooms=all Good morning everybody.  It is now $Time_Now on $Date_Now.”);
speak(“rooms=all The outside temperature is ” . convert_k2f((state $temp_outside)/10) . “degrees”);
speak(“rooms=all Sunrise today is at $Time_Sunrise, sunset is at $Time_Sunset”);
readit(“\\house\c\data\weather_conditions.txt”);
readit(“-rooms bedroom //house/c/homepage/mail/mail.txt”);

set $left_bedroom_light ON;
set $right_bedroom_light ON;

runit(“min”, “ir_cmd TV,POWER,5,1″);

&curtain_on(‘bedroom’, ‘open’);
}

That is exactly what I am looking for. That feature alone was something I wanted to have.

Ima get a vmware image of CentOS installed on my laptop and install Misterhouse and see how it works.
