Just like many I have a dream to "wire" my house with smart devices to control (and monitor) every aspect, but unfortunately I didn't have the time to implement any of it (yet)
but I keep my eyes open on the matter and I follow the HackADay blog to learn about new stuff, this is how I came across the sonoff devices which where the first devices I purchase because the option to reprogram there firmware and avoid the vendor lock problem which most of this devices have. The OpenHAB froums are also a great place to find devices which work seamlessly with OpenHAB and find other hardware recommendation. -- Rabin On 21 May 2017 at 15:45, Elazar Leibovich <elaz...@gmail.com> wrote: > OpenHAB is a software that uses many protocols to control smart devices. > If you have experience with some type of smart electricity, I'm sure it'll > be interesting to everyone to hear it. > Thanks, > > On Sun, May 21, 2017, 3:40 PM Rabin Yasharzadehe <ra...@rabin.io> wrote: > >> There are many implementation and non of them are open standard (iirc) >> e.g - https://www.postscapes.com/internet-of-things-protocols/ >> >> If you looking to start smart home project, you should probably start >> with the server >> which will manage and will the intermediate for all protocols and devices >> -- one of them call OpenHAB <https://www.openhab.org/> >> >> some devices will require a firmware flashing to make them to work with >> your "cloud" and not the vendor. >> >> one popular and cheep devices to start with are the Sonoff switches. >> >> -- >> Rabin >> >> On 21 May 2017 at 15:26, Elazar Leibovich <elaz...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> That it would be reasonable to interact with it with open source tools >>> or at least from open source OS, and that I would be able to purchase >>> hardware from multiple vendors. >>> It's not strictly requires an open protocol, but it's a good >>> approximation. >>> Read what I need to reasonably work with KNX, it's not just the wire >>> protocol. >>> >>> >>> On Sun, May 21, 2017, 2:59 PM Rabin Yasharzadehe <ra...@rabin.io> wrote: >>> >>>> Please clarify what do you mean by "open standard for smart home" >>>> are you referring to the communication between devices ? >>>> >>>> -- >>>> Rabin >>>> >>>> On 21 May 2017 at 14:29, Elazar Leibovich <elaz...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> >>>>> Hi, >>>>> Is there some open standard for smart home. >>>>> The only thing I've seen which is close to open standard is KNX. >>>>> But I'm not sure if there's a free/open source implementation of the >>>>> standard ETS5 software used to configure KNX modules. >>>>> Is the files specifying KNX hardware data, e.g., vd2, knxprod >>>>> https://www.hqs.sbt.siemens.com/cps_product_data/ >>>>> data/search_find_en.htm are open standard? >>>>> >>>>> Does anyone on this list know KNX? >>>>> There are a few related open-source project, but I'm not sure if >>>>> they're indeed working correctly, nor do I have sufficient understanding >>>>> of >>>>> the ETS/KNX configuration. >>>>> Is there a more open standard for smart electricity? >>>>> >>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>> Linux-il mailing list >>>>> Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il >>>>> http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il >>>>> >>>>> >>
