I am currently looking into openHAB for a possible solution for our home automation. I do have an unused laptop that could easily be used for this.
What I would like to have control over:
- room temperature
- shutters
- some lights
- smoke detectors
There are different devices manufactured by different companies for each of the above. So its a question of finding the best hardware.
All of this needs to be accessible via an app on my phone.
- notifications for alarms (smoke detectors)
- control stuff
Seems like all of the above is provided by openHAB combined with a VPN solution, which is great!
Updates on the selected hardware and the integration will be given here in the future, stay tuned!
