Looking to switch automation controller software
-
I don´t have noticed that.
Here is the github link -
So in the interest of keeping my current HA setup running while I get this set up and tested, I figured that this might be a place to use a new controller I got a while back. The controller is an Orange Pi. When a guy from work said he could get me one for $18 US, I couldn't say no. I have had it sitting around for a couple months now waiting to find a use for it. I think I found my use.
The unit that I have is an Orange Pi PC which has a 1.6GHz quad coreprocessor with 1GB ram. A lot of choices for OS. Need to find me an 8GB class 10 MicroSD card (Might have one laying around). Then I want to find an automation software that is easy to install and use with this computer. Has anyone in here used an Orange Pi, and if so, what automation software have you used with it?

As some of the other posts in this thread indicate, you can use node-red as a middleware, between domoticz (or any other controller frontends you like) and sensors.
I'm using it here, between my mysensors GW and domoticz. I have one arduino on my utility meter, that isn't wireless, and doesn't use mysensors protocol. I have used node-red to change it's protocol into mysensors format, and are injecting that into the mysensors datastream into domoticz.
At the same time, I have influxdb / grafana installed, and node-red publishes all sensor data into influxdb, so I can use that package as graphing solution.
I have been running two controllers at the same time at one point in time, where node-red was feeding the two controllers the same mysensors datastream, and both controllers could send data to mysensors nodes.
The possibilities are endless with node-red :)
