Well, at this point I would be surprised if Linux wasn't being used in all of those places, but I've never looked into it.
As far as home automation, there's quite a bit, and at least a large portion of it would run very happily on a Raspberry Pi. See this page for some links to different systems: https://opensource.com/tools/home-automation There's more, but that's what came up on a quick search. I've used a couple of them for just little pieces - I don't have a large setup yet. Here's a fun one that no longer really seems to have any support, but it's a fun proof of concept level. I want to expand on it at some point. https://jasperproject.github.io/ Erik On Fri, Nov 16, 2018 at 5:24 PM Mike C. <[email protected]> wrote: > So I'm a bit of a bike riding, tree hugging, open source tech hippy with > some basic electronics background and many years of experience as a > network engineer for telcos and larger corps. > > I know about Raspberry Pi but I've never done anything with them.
