There are already very good web interfaces for various stereo systems such as the SlimServer (for squeezebox) and Roku Soundbridge.
For Home Automation, you definitely don't want to have it tied to a mobile device that's going to "go away" so instead have the Neo1973 display an interface to your linux/mac/pc home automation system. For example, Perceptive Automation's Indigo has "Control Pages", full featured web interface to your home automation system, security, itunes, music, etc: http://www.perceptiveautomation.com/indigo/window2_pageeditor.html http://goprism.com:8000/controlpage?name=itunes_controller On Linux MisterHouse (http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/) is web-based, open-source, and very hackable (if you like Perl) for controlling all this stuff, viewing sensor data, etc. These both will use your GPRS data connection, but that's very useful for controlling when you're not at home/office. You can also use the Bluetooth for proximity detection - which can check out Romeo/Salling Clicker/others for good examples of how this could be done on OpenMoko and then provide a nice interface for controlling detected devices. Anyways, so for a SoC project this would still be useful to tie an application for proximity detection and UI for interfacing these systems. Andrew On 3/19/07, Ben Burdette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I want to use the moko to control a media center PC that is connected to my stereo, for queuing up audio files and etc. My PC uses a video projector for the monitor and turning on the projector is too much trouble just for queuing up audio. Leaving the projector on uses up the bulb life too. I wonder if one of the linux based media center apps like mythTV would work for this? A custom remote control app for the moko would be best, but a web browser interface would be fine too. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
