BlueLava BlueLava is a Web and WAP (CGI-based) x10 interface. Using commandline-based x10 tools as its backend, it allows you to control x10-compliant electronics and x10 modules from within a Web browser or a WAP/WML-enabled device. Uses of BlueLava include the remote control of lamps, appliances, and other electronics via the Internet.

DIY Zoning DIY Zoning is a set of tools and instructions for controlling a state-of-the-art HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. It covers airflow balancing, temperature control and zoning, energy conservation measures, remote access, 1-wire devices, and home automation.

Lintouch-Runtime 'Lintouch' is a realtime visual control center software suite (known as HMI or MMI in the automation industry). It features a server-client architecture that is extensible via a plug-in architecture; this makes it possible to define new connectivity on the server side (ModBus/TCP, SNMP, Profinet, etc) and to define new control and visualization primitives on the client side (PushButtons, Lamps, TemperatureMonitors, Conveyers, and Elevators).

Listener 'listener' is a security-related program like 'motion' (which detects motion on a Webcam): it listens for sound. If it detects any, it starts recording until the sound stops (or a bit later, which is configurable). It stores the audio in .WAV files

MisterHouse MisterHouse is a home automation program. It responds to voice commands, Web browsers, time of day, serial port and X10 data, external files, etc., and can speak via Text to Speech engines.

Mvc 'mvc' is a text mode v4l video capture program that features motion detection. It is very small and easy to use, and can be used to monitor and record the people that enter your room.

PAUS - Perl AUtomation System PAUS is a system for controlling stuff with simple event-based Perl scripts. It can be used for controlling your house, creating an alert system, or making a remote controlled mp3 player. It is a flexible project that merges other I/O projects together, such as lirc (remote control), lcdproc (LCD output), mpg123 (mp3 player), and various I/O boards (such as the K8000). It's modular, extensible, multi-threaded, and has networking support.

Phantom home GNU Phantom.Home is a computer controlled home automation system. The software includes a circuit diagram for building the Phantom.Home.Controller, a simple circuit board that attaches to your PC's parallel port. Using the combination of hardware/software you can control (ie flip on and off) nearly any 120v device. With a little bit of electronics know-how, you can probably control nearly any device at any voltage by modifying the circuit boards to meet your needs. The simple circuit included can be created and built for around $25.00. The modules cost around $10.00 (basically a heavy duty relay). Phantom Home is now compatible with HDML, so if you have an HDML wireless phone you can use it to operate the system.

Phantom security GNU Phantom.Security is a computer-controlled security system. Using the software and a simple circuit board (diagram included) that you build, you can create a good basic security system that is computer controlled. The system can use off-the-shelf security devices like motion sensors, door magnets, and fire/smoke detectors with little to moderate modification. You can have a total of 5 devices per port. If the machine the system is running on is connected to a LAN/WAN or the Internet, you can have it send email. If you have a pager or cell phone capable of receving email, you will then have around the clock intrusion/fire detection for your home or office.

PowerGuru Powerguru is a a monitoring, data logging, and remote control application for power generation products used for renewable energy. Currently devices being supported are >Xantrex (Trace) and Outback Power Systems products. Features

• Data-logging - PowerGuru can poll all the meters on a Xantrex or Outback product,including multiples devices, and writes the data to an SQL database.
• Remote Control - PowerGuru enables one to remotely control the device as if you were sitting there pushing buttons yourself.
• Setup and Configuration - PowerGuru enables you to have a default set of configuration options as a disk based file, and to set or dump this data into/from the device. This is to make the setup of new installations simpler.
• SQL Database Support - PowerGuru uses an SQL database to store all the data from logging the devices, so you can do advanced queries and graphs.
• >SNMP Support - PowerGuru has SNMP support, so it can be easily integrated into other network administration tools like Mrtg or PHP scripts.

SCRAP 'SCRAP' (Security Camera Recording APplication) is a security camera recording application that works with any video4linux compatible device. It can grab frames from multiple inputs on a single device or from multiple capture boards at the same time. It has a very reliable motion detection system that records only when movement is detected, ignoring light changes. Videos are recorded using XviD's MPEG-4 codec. A recording archive management system is included.

ZoneMinder ZoneMinder is a set of applications which support capture, analysis, recording, and monitoring of video data coming from cameras attached to a GNU/Linux system. Its Web interface lets users view, archive, review, and delete images and movies. The image analysis system is highly configurable: users can retain specific events while eliminating false positives. ZoneMinder defines a set of individual 'zones' of varying sensitivity and functionality for each camera. Certain regions can be eliminated,and certain areas can be defined in such a way that they will alarm if thresholds are exceeded in conjunction with other zones. It is designed to run on kernels which support the Video For Linux (V4L) interface and has been tested with cameras attached to BTTV cards and also USB various cameras. It will work with both colour (24 bit) and black and white cameras and is designed to support as can be attached to a computer without too much degradation of performance.
