DomotiGa is a new open source house Automation bundle from the Netherlands. Written in Gambas fundamental as well as almost prepared for release, DomotiGa supports X10, RFXCom, Oregon sensors, BlueTooth, Asterisk as well as many other hardware gadgets .
“Introduction – DomotiGa is an open source house Automation program written in Gambas basic. In The Netherlands house Automation is called Domotica, as well as since it is written in Gambas, I altered the last part of this word to ‘Ga’. This results in one of the few words that don’t have millions of hits in google, which is handy..
It runs on Linux as well as can checked out all type of sensor values, spot movement as well as it can routine lights to turn on/off at specific times. By utilizing an RFXCom receiver, Xanura CTX35 A10/X10 controller and/or a Midon TEMP08 1-wire interface as well as more.
Why – Why did you begin composing yet one more house automation program? I have utilized Misterhouse for years. (I even produced the -now extremely outdated- ia5 web interface) however like many of us lost the overview, it’s just to massive. After looking at other ‘so called open-source programs’ it turned out that although they where called open-source they didn’t have any type of code published, or you couldn’t barely phone call it a program.
When I was hectic to produce a trimmed down version of Misterhouse I came across Gambas basic. I tried to code the performance I utilized then in Gambas, as well as this [turned out to be] rather easy! I even develop support for interfaces not offered in Misterhouse yet as well as Gambas’s IDE is just great!
Status – No code has been released yet, however there will be soon. I’m no coder by nature, so don’t expect top notch quality, however I will do my finest to produce a descent piece of software. as well as since it’s gonna be open Source, we can make it much better together. See the supported Hardware topic for more as much as date info about the condition of different modules.
Want to help? – I definitely can utilize some assist establishing this a bit more… This assist can be in the type of tips as well as tricks, Gambas or Domotics related, ideas, brainstorm sessions, code snippets for new drivers (also example vb code is accepted), donations so I can compose code to support new hardware, kudo’s etc etc…
If demand is high I can set up a svn repository for example.
Gambas, what is it? look right here to get an impression…
