Home Automation Projects
Jann recommends http://www.machomestore.com/ as a vendor for Z-wave products, and Vizia RF+ as the "can pick it up at Lowe's" brand.
List of Z-Wave at MacHomeStore.com.
The Aeon Labs Z-Stick Series 2 is his controller of preference.
Projects we've talked about:
Garage door controller
Takes me getting the gertboard hooked up right.
Strike plates on the front door
Might have channels on the gertboard still open.
Bathroom light
Turn on the correct bathroom light (dim vs bright). Other possibilities here: Accomodate state information on the heater and the vent fan.
Need to:
- Sense state of hallway light
- Understand time of day
- Have pushbutton controller for light
Door Sensors
Need to either run a lot of wire, or hook up Z-Wave sensors
