LightBulb

Build your home own automation system using an Edison, Raspberry Pi or Windows as the automation hub. Control it through a web interface.

This project is designed to be an open, maker friendly framework for building a home automation system. The automation hub software is based on Node.js and can be run on a variety of Linux and Windows platforms including Edison, Raspberry Pi and Windows. The web interface is written in JQuery .

The name of your serial com port for communicating with the xbee ZigBee device is platform specific: you can specify the name of the serial port with the -x parameter or use one of the following aliases: pi, edison, none

node server.js -x edison

We support:

 - Control of xbee ZigBee devices

 - Sensor input from replayr devices (e.g. Wunderbar)

 - Remote Control of Sparkcore devices

 - Weather input from Weather Underground

 - SMS notifications through Twilio

To demonstrate the xbee ZigBee support we built a lamp controller module.

Other things we tried:

 - we rebuild the edison kernel to support video streaming

 - we looked at using the at&t webrtc api

And finally, we got some WunderCandy:-)
