Re: Fwd: Home automation and concept art

Hi Katie,
In fact, I was interested if someone would present a project made by Home Assistant as the IDE. I learned about it after a half of my own project was done, so I did not make an actual comparison, but from the articles and videos I got an impression that it and OpenHAB are quite close in terms of provided functionality and probably supported devices.
Looking forward to listen to your presentation,

Hi Dmitriy,

This is a great idea! I don't think I'll have a formal presentation, however, I have been attempting to automate parts of the indoor growing process (for herbs and such) with Home Assistant as part of a hobby project. Automation of soil moisture level monitoring and watering are possible, and monitoring of sunlight, air quality, and temperature are fairly straightforward. PH monitoring and stabilization is more of an issue... I may have further thoughts to share at the meetup.

Personally, I like the idea of having a virtual/remote meeting this time around as you will be providing a demo, and I will be out of the country :)

Looking forward to this topic!
Katie

Attention : courriel externe | external email
With September meeting passed, how about we plan OpenSource in home automation talk for the October meeting? I will start with OpenHAB as visualization and scripting IDE, Zephyr as a sensor OS, GATT and MQTT as communication solutions. Richard, will you present your project? Do we have other presenters or shall we start a discussion after? I suggest the meeting goes virtual since I am planning to demonstrate some OpenHAB in action that I can do only at home.

Thoughts and comments?

I would prefer to talk about used tools and technologies rather than pieces of hardware. There are myriads of boards and even mo re senso rs, we can't cover them all.
