A great example of DIY Home Automation

  • Sharebar

Hey guys,

Want to see a really cool example of DIY home automation? A true DIY-er named Chauncey Frend put together a completely home-brew home automation system using a Phidget, AS3, python, AIR, PHP, and MySQ. In this video, Frend shows his completely home-brew system that he built for about $50 (hint: it doesn’t use any X10 or Insteon modules, and he wrote the script for the automation). While you probably will use pre-existing protocols in your own home, it’s always neat to see technology de-constructed.

Did you see those USB phidgets? Those have the potential of adding a whole layer of customization to your home.

If you have a second, leave a comment below the video and let me know if you liked this! I’ll use your feedback to drive the content I share with you in the future.

Talk soon,

Anthony

Can u give me the full video details and wiring diagram installation of home security system?

Will any of the insteon thermostats work with radiant floor heating? There is no air conditioning, just floor hydronic heating.
