2. Home automation • Connected home: thermostats, lights, sensors, blinds, audio, video … • Thermostats: seasonal preferences, defaults • Lights: presence triggers, night (DST changes) • Sensors: presence, temperature • Calendar: trigger “away”-mode (vacation) • Save energy The remainder of this slide deck is guaranteed bullet-free.

6. Why openHAB? Mix and match: DIY, Z-Wave, Homematic, … Extensible: add upcoming technology without replacing rules, UI, etc. GUIs: Web, Android, iOS. Doesn’t rely on cloud: neither for processing nor for control. No fees: Open Source, large active community. Choose your platform: OS with Java.
7. ? Get a CCU to do CUL for connecting the HM-LC-SW1-PI to the HM-CFG-LAN or you can use Homegear or a combination of LxCCU with a plain gateway on a cubietruck and Homegear or the CCU1 without Homegear and no LxCCU. Without it the binding requires TclRega on port 8181with or with FHEM but then disable AES which will cause Homegear to no longer work. In version x the RPC goes from XML to bin but no longer does RF except with a CCU if it controls a CUL. Sounds OK to me

16. Have a REST curl -X GET -H 'Accept: application/json' \ http://localhost:8080/rest/items/Pplug { "link": "http://localhost:8080/rest/items/Pplug", "name": "Pplug", "state": "ON", "type": "SwitchItem" } curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/CMD?Pplug=TOGGLE curl, wget, jquery, etc. curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' \ -d ON http://localhost:8080/rest/items/Pplug
17. Can openHAB … ? Yes Automation: scripts, rules, actions. Integration: Asterisk, Google calendar, media players. User Interfaces: Web, Android, iOS. Console. REST API. Actions: mail, XMPP, Prowl. Persistence: db4o, rrd, logging, MQTT, MySQL, MongoDB, InfluxDB. Transformations: JSON, XSLT
18. Ideas Lights on after dark. Point webcam at window on open. Mute music when phone rings. Switch iron off when leaving home. Start irrigation at night. Switch kettle coffee machine on when alarm clock rings. Warn of open windows when leaving house.
19. Happy customer: @sumnerboy I love my bedtime mode - auto enabled when I plug my phone into the charger at night (via Tasker) which turns down the heating, turns off the TV, checks all doors are closed and my PCs are shutdown, and turns off all lights after 5 mins (giving me time to get to the bedroom) just works
