@jsiddall

Could you provide me with some information about Misterhouse (featuers, screenshots) so I can add an article to the main site under the controllers section?

[jsiddall]

@hek Sure, here's some info. Let me know if you need more detail or something specific

Misterhouse is one of the longest running home automation platforms around. Started in 1998 it supports a wide range of hardware, protocols and capabilities. It is written in perl which means it is easy to run on a wide range of platforms, to see what is happening and also to make customizations. The flip side of this flexibility is that some perl scripting is required but fortunately there are many examples and a helpful group of people on mailing lists.

The project is currently hosted on github:

https://github.com/hollie/misterhouse/wiki

A search of the wiki will also show what support exists for various protocols and hardware.

For screenshots of the web interface see:

There are articles such as this one from linux magazine:

and even a book by the same author.

Thanks,

Added the page. Let me know if you want to change anything.

Do you have a larger logo?

[jsiddall]

@hek

Here's a larger one that I pulled from my own deployment

If you need a bigger one I will need to contact the icon designer. Let me know.

I cant seem to find this module in the Misterhouse master at githib, pebkac?

@wallyllama have a look here:

The default branch is stable but you won't find it there [yet].
