I have mentioned Homegenie here before.  Having a look this morning.  I read about installing it and installed it on an RPi.  Checking to see how intuitive the set up was and it appears easy peasy.  Interesting that it is utilizing Mono.

I had a BBS in the early 1980's that ran off a Commodore computer.  Used a stack of Ventel modems and a DIY modem switcher for multiple phone lines.
 
In 1985 recalling now walking in to the Microsoft office at an area of a town called La Défense.  The visit was low on the WAF that day.  That said I saw an Commodore Amiga in the office running Amiga DOS, DOS and Helios.  I was impressed.
