If you’re considering a DIY home automation project, you’ve probably considered installing the open-source Calaos home automation platform. This platform lets you install and manage a variety of smart devices. In addition to being free, it also comes with a user-friendly interface and a built-in program editor. It also includes a home automation framework called OpenMotics, which comes with a huge library of more than 500 scripts that you can use to customize your automation system.
The Jeedom project is another open-source home automation software application that is free and available for download. The open source software is available in many languages and comes with a variety of sensors that allow you to control the lights, temperature, and more. You can even set up notifications on your smartphone. The Jeedom community is primarily in French, but there are also several other languages available. This means that you can install a French-based version of Jeedom and easily control your home’s appliances.
PiDome is another home automation platform for the Raspberry Pi. It supports the KODI multimedia system and RFXCOM and MySensors. It has a balanced interface and a server powered by Raspberry PI. The PiDome software also provides clients for various systems. But while it’s not available for Linux, it does come with a customizable dashboard. Depending on which system you choose, PiDome is a great choice.
