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,
/Dmitriy

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

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
