Thanks for the pointer, Jerome. Power metering is something we should address at some point. I've tentatively scheduled UI components that can deal with dynamic content such as graphs for OR 3.0 release

I agree, I think I would not expose my HA setting outside a DMZ if not a separate LAN than the one connected to Internet. But I also think the use case of connected home automation exists, and that vendors will start selling ...

Here is a video to see the guiDesigner: http://www.commandfusion.com/video/guiDesigner.mov The already support GlobalCache and a LG television and you can create libraries for your own devices

Just got word from the Always Innovating http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/ folks and I should have their TouchBook in December. As I recall, it doesn't run Android but I think someone is working on getting Android on the book. I won't be able to do ...

I'd first have to get a TV, my old B&W isn't going to cut it. Now if they only had something on to watch on the TV. Actually I hope to get a nice new TV in February. I'd still like to know about ...

From the article: "This commitment is dependent on two important publicprivate partnerships: the development by the end of 2010 of an open, global standard for transmitting signals to, and receiving signals from, a home appliance; and appropriate policies that reward consumers, manufacturers, and utilities for using and adding ...

What is the European effort you refer to? What exactly is being standardized? I always thought that a lowvoltage standard plug would remove the power supply for the laptop/lights/phones and every little thing. Obviously how to get this thing in the field ...

Together with someone else, I've been discussing for some time, that it would be interesting if we implement an idea I had by putting out an opensource spec for a device similar in concept to your 'ORB' except that we want it to be really ...

I have some doubts about an iPhone killer. Verizon is pushing Droid (that's what the advert says) and it sounds like it's being sold to the techs not the average user. Why would my wife care or even know what background ...

Has anyone integrated with a whole house audio system? If so which? I'm looking at the following http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=301110&ctab=1#Tabs http://www.breatheaudio.com It would give me audio in 6 ...

Hey guys, here is a nice video of m..myhome which is a Mac based solution for home automation. Demo Video http://www.thebigbencompany.com/nomos/clipnomos.html \Marcus

Hehe, one of my acid test for new tech is "does it help with pron"... I definitely think this would qualify... Ok enough! brrrr

Hello, Check out http://genohm.eu/index.php?option=comcontent&view=article&id=9&Itemid=9 an KNX world KNX/EIB Gateway offers bidirectional communication between KNX/EIB automation bus and other networks. ZigBee/6lowpan&nbsp ...

Got a letter in the mail from KNX Association the other day announcing they've released the version 2.0 of the specification over this summer http://www.knx.org/knxassociation/newsletters/september2009/#art1. The announcement is light on details but mentioning the dozens of additions and supplements have been ...

Bah! There are 3 or 4 abstractions in the field (which you have listed) and everyone stumbles upon them sooner or later. Do we copy lifeware? No! And yet we do the same. I will say this however, the proof is in the pudding. The difference is the implementation ...

I don't know that it will be that expensive, the coffee table version will be expensive for sure, just because of the surface of cristal that is there.  But if you think about the NG version of the OR panel it supports a random positioning on a picture, so taking a picture of the room and interacting with it is not that far ...

Hi all, just found this on the german KNX forum. Another iPhone app for home automation. But it only works with LCN bus. http://domiq.pl/en/products/domiqremote.html http://domiq.pl/en/products/domiqremote.html \Marcus

Hello Peter, Thanks for the introduction. Let us know if you find a particular itch you'd like to address. Take care, Juha

Okay, MS finally started allowing the logins to begin. You login in, enter you zip code, then your information about your home (size, fuel, windows, doors, insulation age of appliances and home). After you've entered everything ...

Hi Jason, Linux Java would be a great start and go a long way. ARM based design would be very interesting. Please keep us updated on your progress... Juha

First the video is way too 'rara' for me. I expect Koolade to be delivered soon. The second part is interesting but a faulty premise. If I'm 12 minutes from home how does the system know I'm going home? The biggest part ...

bit of news about OpenRemote that came out this week: OpenRemote: Community will drive home automation http://news.cnet.com/83011350531024432016.html It's a good read. One of the aspects it touches on is the building of a community and bootstrapping a codebase. There are a lot of myths and legends about how an ...

customer website from "PC Engines" (http://www.pcengines.ch/alixcust.htm) I just found the link to ergo3. They create a box called "myhomebox" which is providing a KNX visualization. They have a nice looking FLASH based UI. Check it out: http ...

I am just referring to a software application that interfaces with Cbus devices. I think the term 'Cbus enabled' is just means that Cbus agrees that your hardware/software can works with Cbus devices. From my experience, the protocol that we ...

question is: Should OR be able to act as a replacement for something like this or be an additional feature? Both! We want OR to have the same features though probably not the exact interface unless that's what you have. Remember that we're the glue between systems and/or services

Wow that is cool, if they can miniaturize and switch the pneumatics then they can build the buttons dynamically. That would be very cool. Switch to another screen and the buttons change shape t omatch you needs

possible to test with my iPhone and irtrans module already? Let me know how I can install. At the moment we send IR directly to LIRC. It's however just a delegation to LIRC's irsend command via Java's ProcessBuilder. Search ...

Hey Johan, I haven't had a chance to try Calimero yet (still waiting for my KNX kit), but would be curious to hear the good and bad. We are thinking about using it for the very simple 1.0 implementation to send out commands ...

Hello Greg, Thanks for your offer to help. Java C sounds like an ideal combination. There are couple of ideas I think could be useful to start prototyping with. Web Console One is the web console orb:Web Console Overview ...

Hmm, we've had email and x10 since 1989. We did it with an AT&T 3B1/Unix PC, UUCP (there was internet as we no it today back then) and the CP290 interface. Unfortunately X10 remained the predominate HA protocol until this century (wow that seems ...

We are having a great week of "organic PR" being generated after a new website launch and the first newsletter gone out. Here's a few more for those who like to read (in English, German and French to cater our three major ...

Good things come with a minimum of two and we are getting plenty of attention in the blogosphere this week, ignited by Matt Asay's blog on OpenRemote, no doubt. This time it's the register in the UK: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/04/15/openremoreprototype/ A glance at the X10 website, which is chockfull of bodacious babes ...

So the micasaverde http://micasaverde.com/guys just released their source code at http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/SourceCode.  They also announced http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/LuaUPnP for doing IR, A/V and serial control.  Interesting stuff. For those who ...

Hi JeanLuc, Thats sound great, just let me know where to start and how I can help. In the mean time I have written an axis2 web service around my library as sample app (yes ...

Juha congratulations on Beta1 Philippe, bear with us as we are updating the website.  Also this is a new code base.  Feel free to actually contribute something

Cool, thanks for the link. Submitted the contact form out of curiosity

Elsewhere on the web, automatedhome.co.uk http://www.automatedhome.co.uk posted a news piece on the progress we have been making, which you can read here http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/NewProducts/OpenRemoteMakingProgressontheDream.html. If you are a Digger, please vote it up

Hi Brandon, Thanks for the encouraging words. We will try to get a beta to you as soon as possible. No immediate plans for J2ME smart phones right this moment. However, always curious to hear what hardware people would like to utilize. Thanks ...
