I'm very excited about the upcoming 2.0 version that I would like to use as an interface to my custom build HA controller. The project is still relatively small, but lies on a great architecture that is meant to be easy expandable. That's the reason, this project ...

Well, there is also a software way of doing it "serproxy" for example. It passes socket TCP data to a COM port. But a generic, out of the box, serial support is a must have. I'm sure there will be one in near future What do you think about ...

Hi, I'd like to test Open Remote Boss with some X10, KNX and Xbee (from arduino) devices. I've seen that Open Remote now proposes an Orb at around 350$, I'd like to know what this box contains ...

Thanks. I'll grok

Hi James, I am not the guy behind that video. This comes from another company in Germany and the product is called m..myhome http://www.macmyhome.de/. They also promote the same video on youtube http://www.macmyhome.de/. All of us at OpenRemote are working to create ...

Thanks, Juha. Yeah I'd already tried different browsers IE7, IE8, Safari. I went back to basics and copied the Tomcat ROOT and examples over to the Linux box and found that I was getting errors with the Tomcat Manager app and any ...

Next month

When you create the telnet command in the UI composer you have to specify the string in the format: <waitFor>\ <send>\ <waitFor>\ <send> So your example would have to be configured as: login: user word: xxx server# echo e !1PWR00R ...

Hi, I'm working on an Arduino based controller for home automation. Right now I'm designing the firmware of the controller. I'm standing in front of dilemma what protocol to implement with communication with some PC software. In this post http://www.openremote.org/pages ...

Thanks for the answers 1) Yes, you're right, there is a lack of an open source protocols. But this is because there are so many systems with different architecture and most of them costs several thousands dollars. The protocol depends on the HA architecture. You know, there are powerline ...

true. I started with Mercurial it's pretty nice. I forced myself to learn Git 'cause I was using a lot of stuff hosted on github (which ROCKS btw), and I think I like it a lot better. The biggest difference is that Mercurial ...

Good list. I will get the 2.0 online and we can start looking

Thanks Max. Now all is clear

Yes, you have to install BOSS on a machine on your network. A MAC should work but the instructions available are probably not for a MAC in the moment. After that you will use the composer OpenRemote Composer http://composer.openremote.org/demo/to create the layout and what commands should ...

sounds excellent. Really looking forward to it. I might have a chance to test as well since I plan to be in Taiwan the next couple of months and Insteon does work over there. Keep us posted and let us know if we can ...

I'm gonna toy with the plug as well. Ordered just prior to holidays. Their delivery is 3 to 4 weeks. Several users have several LAMP modules running even MySQL. The plug success story thread is here: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum ...

I think that KNXnet/IP is an older name for KNX/IP, but I am not sure. This would mean though, that there is not really a difference. \Marcus

I like the idea of using OSGI but I think it's bulitin messaging feature is limited to communicating bwtn services in the same osgi container. Yes, but nothing prevents you from opening it up to a crosscontainer messaging see the project LightSabre http ...

KNX actuators as far as I know do not maintain conversational state with each other I would tend to say they try to avoid it. But that is the overall concept of KNX, you do not necessarily need a "smart" rule engine as many standard automation ...

I read that some of the HW IP was OSS? that would be interesting. A lot of the cost we are quoted when looking at HW is design of the boards... If the IP is indeed OSS then there is something to be salvaged

How is the Insteon work going for you? I'm still deciding on hardware and I really like what Insteon has available (I'm based in Canada). I see a lot of work towards KXN equipment but not too much noise about ...

sure about freeswitch as I haven't used it yet, but asterisk can be set up for this type of thing, an IVR can be set up and you'll just have to go through voice prompts to get to the commands you want. You'll ...

Yes, I am trying to get up to 11.0 quickly so I can release Boss 2011

code for this is currently available in /branches/feature/RussoundSupportmredeker http://openremote.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/openremote/branches/feature/RussoundSupportmredeker

addition to the security implementation forums:OR Boss Security, we are adding the first rudimentary pieces of high availability implementation into OpenRemote Boss. At the moment, failover can be managed with a relatively straightforward node switch. The controller is stateless (or has cached state which ...
