SENSORS AND HOME AUTOMATION

WHEN I SAY SENSORS, I DON'T MEAN

WHEN I SAY HOME AUTOMATION, I DON'T MEAN

SMART HOMES

Is your home a smart home?

SMART HOMES

I wouldn't class mine as one...

SMART HOMES

Every night, I go to bed and I turn on my bedside light

SMART HOMES

I walk into a dark room and I turn the light on using the switch on the wall.

SMART HOMES

AND then I turn the light off when I leave! Isn't this 2017?!

SMART HOMES

I'm no better than a trained monkey.

We automate things in computing. Why not in our lives?

HOME AUTOMATION

THERE'S SO MANY OPTIONS

There's nothing wrong with any of those

Except you're now locked in

HOME AUTOMATION

Either I end up with xn apps or I end up using one brand for everything, even if

they're not the best.

HOME AUTOMATION

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could use something to connect all these different

brands up? And it be open source?

HOME AUTOMATION

PROJECTS

OPEN SOURCE DOWNLOADABLE APP JAVA OPENHAB 2 GOT RELEASED BUT CAN BE TROUBLESOME AS OPENHAB 1 CONFIG STILL NEEDED IN PLACES SLOW DEVELOPMENT

PROJECTS

OPEN SOURCE PYTHON QUICK DEVELOPMENT YAML CONFIGURATION (CAN SHARE ON GITHUB) PAPER UI (MATERIAL DESIGN) MORE FLEXIBLE (IN MY OPINION)

PROJECTS

PROJECTS

DEPLOY

DEPLOYAnywhere that supports Python

Windows / Linux / MacOS Docker (homeassistant/home-assistant)

SENSORS

SENSORS

Sensors don't have to be home made arduinos

(they can be if you want them to be)

SENSORS

I don't want my home full of ugly sensors on windows / doors / walls / ceilings

SENSORS

Home Assistant allows a wide array of sensor transports

Let's take a look at some of them

SENSORS

Beacons (monitor when a beacon gets near the home assistant server)

SENSORS

HTTP APIs - Weather/Media Servers/OwnTracks (interact with external APIs for data)

(interact Home Assistant to give it data)

SENSORS

IoT / Homegrown devices (Get/Set Data over MQTT)

SENSORS

Z-Wave - Secure Low Power Network (Get/Set data on Z-Wave devices)

SENSORS

Zigbee - Another Secure Low Power Network (Get and Set data on Zigbee devices)
