Package: misterhouse Architecture: all License: GPL Description: a home automation program written in Perl MisterHouse is an open source home automation program. It's fun, it's free, and it's entirely geeky. Written in Perl, it fires events based on time, web, socket, voice, and serial data. Perl subroutines and objects are used to give a powerful programming interface.
http://www.knizefamily.net/russ/software/misterhouse.html I have packaged the past two versions of the Misterhouse home automation tool. As I recall, Misterhouse was an offical Debian package at one time (perhaps back when Slink was stable). I have been using MH for a few years on Debian and have been using these packages lately. Misterhouse is quite large, but I did my best to follow the FHS. Since I use MH constantly and keep it updated, I plan to maintain these packages regardless of the outcome of this. I just thought I could get some useful feedback. This is not my first package by any means, but it is the first I have ever tried to get sponsored. It's also listed as RFP (#99397) and I will list it as ITP if any sponsor is interested. Thank you, Russ W. Knize
