Open Source Home Automation Software

OpenMQTTGateway project goal is to concentrate in one firmware different technologies and protocols, decreasing, by the way, the number of physical bridges needed, and hiding the different technologies singularity behind a simple & widespread communication protocol; MQTT. MQTT gateway for ESP8266, ESP32, Sonoff RF Bridge or Arduino with bidirectional 433mhz/315mhz/868mhz, Infrared communications, BLE, Bluetooth, beacons detection, mi flora, mi jia, LYWSD02, LYWSD03MMC, Mi Scale, TPMS, BBQ thermometer compatibility, SMS & LORA. OpenMQTTGateway supports very mature technologies like basic 433mhz/315mhz protocols & infrared (IR) so you can make your old dumb devices "smart" and avoid throwing them away. These devices also have the advantage of having a lower cost compared to Zwave or more sophisticated protocols. OMG also supports up-to-date technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or LORA.

Accent (Advanced Component Control Enhancing Network Technologies) is a comprehensive tool suite that interfaces a variety of communications systems and allows these systems to be controlled through goals (high-level user aims) and policies (lower-level system rules). Accent has been applied to the domains of: o Call Control: for telecommunications, particularly call control in Internet telephony o Home Care: for home automation and telecare, particularly for domestic appliances and devices to support home care o Sensor Networks: sensor networks, particularly managing wind farms However, the approach is generic and extensible for managing other kinds of systems. Accent is essentially software. As most of Accent in in Java, it needs at least a Java Runtime Environment but more likely a Java Software Development Kit. To interact with the real world, Accent needs relevant hardware such as a communications server (softswitch) or home automation equipment.

Automatic Volume Mixer is a tool that allows automatization of Windows Volume Mixer based on user's rules. You can open the Volume Mixer by right-clicking on the speaker icon in the system tray and selecting Open Volume Mixer. This application is an automatic version of that applet. Common usage examples - Pausing your audio player (e.g. foobar2000) whenever any other application makes a noise, - and resuming playback once the noise is gone. This enables you to keep your audio player running in the background at all times. - Briefly muting all applications while a notification is playing. - Forcing application's volume to a set level - Automatically lowering volume during night - Launching processes/popups when some application makes noise

These plugins connect EventGhost and Emesene together. EG can send messages and Emesene generates events.

A convenient alternative to single-purpose touch screens using IP phone application APIs. This plug-in provides alerting, information display and home interaction capabilities, and is customized and controlled from within the HomeSeer web interface.

PonkTV is a P2P media server for the TV. It allows downloading of various media (music, videos, flash, web pages, games, and programs) from P2P and web servers for viewing on a TV and controlled by a TV remote.

It is an easy and handy way for home or small offices where nowadays we have many hosts (pcs, routers, smartphones, NAS, media centers, wi-fi intruders, etc) and we want to know what is up and interact with them. This was born as many others from my need to turn on/off a computer in another room or see what is up before going to bed or be alerted by some intrusion in my local net via wi-fi. It needs a lot of improvements and I hope the community can help. New hosts are discovered via /etc/hosts and nmap but can be added manually too.

This project is to develop an instant messaging system that is able to monitor and control home appliances. It is based on Java and Smack library for XMPP. We are changing user interfaces and enhancing usability. We hope to release new version in 10 days

This project is stopped at the moment because of very interesting parallel activities like openhab... ------------- In the smarthome area different systems and technologies can be found. If you want to use only one user interface for all devices you will not find the "right" tool. But there are different automation plattforms like homematic or openhab and often a scripting feature are available. The main idea behind jmpshcmd is a java based tool with support for missing features (like udpsend) or a simple way to integrate an automation standard (like homematic). This tool can used to start a command from a scripting exit. For testing issues a console mode is available. If you implement an own java based integration you can use the jmpshcmd features via Java based api.
