Home Automation Software?

Feb 05, 2008 3 Replies

Hi there. I am looking into getting some home automation software that I can customize to a good degree. I got homeseer trial, but I find it both clunky (the interface is very slow), and expensive. I'm wondering if there's any good open source programs (preferably written in C or a derivative) that can control my Insteon power-linc, and USB- UART. I don't need web access, just to be able to send and recieve commands, and to be able to run custom scripts when I get an event.



Thanks

HomeDaemon is open source - it doesn't support Insteon, but does support ZWave, and you could add a module to do whatever else you wanted.

See my home page for the link.

Have a look at Misterhouse (misterhouse.sourceforge.net). It's written in perl and has support for about every device available.
