There's no response from INELS and I doubt they will ever give me, though I sent them two mails. Anybody knows any good DIY project like Arduino on the HA scope? I can build hardware and write software.

Thanks, etc6849. I know Premise. It's really great software. However it seems it's no longer is supported and is Windows based as you said. The reason I want Linux solutions is that Linux can run on PlugComputer like SheevaPlug that consumes very little power and takes literally no space. Also...

KNX is too expensive for me. It will definitely costs me a kidney. I can't find UPB modules to buy. Could you point me to a store or a company that sells them in Europe?

Thanks, Dan. So far no response from them... I found a company called Eltako (http://www.eltako.com/en.html) that makes RS-485 modules for HA. They have everything - dimmers, shutters, HVAC controls. However they're more pricey than I think a RS-485 module has to be. So, the big search...

Thanks for the response, adhllc. Sub-GHz spectrum is working well here in Europe. We use a lot 868Mhz and 433Mhz. These frequencies offer lower speeds than 2.4GHz, but better penetration. I think the European Z-wave modules uses the 868Mhz freq. What I want to automate is this: - 7-8 dimmer...

Thanks a lot for pointing me on INELS. The system looks really great. I sent them a request for a price list and I hope the modules to be affordable and available for DIYs, though they don't look so. Any other hint or info is more than welcome :)

Hi, all. Last year I spent on searching and learning the HA scope. I did this because I want to integrate a HA system in my new apartment. However I don't want any system, but system that is robust, fast, vendor-independent (why not open source) and lastly, but not the least - cheap! Yes, cheap...

I'm just askin' ;) Commercial is good, Open Source is better ;) As a developer I prefer a multiplatform open sourced software.

I'm testing LinuxMCE now. It's quite powerful and is free. The design looks crappy, but there is a tool for building UI's. Also, OpenRemote is a promising project with some serious developers involved. It's still very poor, but it promises a lot. Also, it's multi platform, which is something...

But will the development continue? The current release is 4 yers old and it seems the project is dead.

Sounds OK. I don't care about the interface outlook if I have tools to make my own. What I'm worry about is that Premise seems no longer supported. The last version is from 2006 and the official support forums are "READ-ONLY for archival purposes". I would like to see a good OPEN SOURCE...

I tough J9 is free, but it seems it it will be commercial software once the 1.0 version is released. Is there anything close to it, that is free? I'm just curious.

J9 look like just what I needed! Thanks! The only cons is that it offers just a Windows Mobile Client. If I have a Linux, Android or the new iPad, I can't use it. A web client is all I need, but it seems no one offer a really good web solution...

Hi, is there any good looking software for X10? I like the GIRA interface for KNX, but all the X10 software I found was like we live in the early 90's.
