Hi, I am a French student in 4th year of university cycle, I aim for next year to integrate acedemic training of home automation in Rennes.
I am also a convinced users of FLOSS since 2years and of KDE since SC 4.3. I am interrested in ergonomics and other disciplines (I like read Aurélien Gateau's blog posts and other related stuff for example) , and I think home automation could improve its ergonomics and concept to be very efficient. Typically, in this kind of dashboard, we can found various graphics related on cumsumption of several element in the house, actual state of some element, actions buttons and some other stuff . Last year, for studies, I had a "research" project whose goal was to realize a draft of a dashbord to be use daily in home automation, so I have basics skills on what could be realize or not and I can observe that one the main issue of this type of dashboard is they are design to only show information related to home automation when they should be integrated in the center of our use of cumputering, and I think Plasma could do it easily. I am currently talking with folks of Domogik¹, a free home automation server. Do you think it could be possible with the plasma technologies and what do you think about this idea in general ? I am not aware of other implementation of the concept I have exposed and I know that would be very innovative and with some work of reflexion, but that's a part of what attracks me. I will join you on IRC in coming days, i couldn't for the moment but I wanted anymay to expose my idea and collect some opinions. ¹ : http://www.domogik.org/ -- Robin Marsollier M1 Électronique et Télécommunication - Université de Rennes 1 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
