Hi Katie,
In fact, I was interested if someone would present a project made by 
Home Assistant as the IDE. I learned about it after a half of my own 
project was done, so I did not make an actual comparison, but from the 
articles and videos I got an impression that it and OpenHAB are quite 
close in terms of provided functionality and probably supported devices.

Looking forward to listen to your presentation,

Hi Dmitriy,

This is a great idea! I don't think I'll have a formal presentation, 
however, I have been attempting to automate parts of the indoor 
growing process (for herbs and such) with Home Assistant as part of a 
hobby project.  Automation of soil moisture level monitoring and 
watering are possible, and monitoring of sunlight, air quality, and 
temperature are fairly straightforward. PH monitoring and 
stabilization is more of an issue... I may have further thoughts to 
share at the meetup.


Personally, I like the idea of having a virtual/remote meeting this 
time around as you will be providing a demo, and I will be out of the 
country :)


Looking forward to this topic!
Katie

With September meeting passed, how about we plan OpenSource in home

I will start with OpenHAB as visualization and scripting IDE, Zephyr

Richard, will you present your project? Do we have other presenters

I suggest the meeting goes virtual since I am planning to demonstrate

Yes please to Linux Home Automation.

I have recently purchased a Hubitat and a few ZWave devices:

- a pair of Aeotec current sensors in my house circuit breaker panel
- Honeywell thermostat (does not call home to Honeywell)
- Aeotec temperature/humidity sensor
- HomeSeer floodlight sensor

I'd love to have coding access to these devices.

I have my eye on the WiFi IoTaWatt current sensor unit with 14 sensors
instead of 2: $293.30 USD plus $45 delivery  https://stuff.iotawatt.com/cart/

I'd be interested in this, and would even be willing to do a
presentation about my home power monitoring system that I developped
using current sensors in my house circuit breaker panel, a Teensy3.0
(arduino), and a perl script with MRTG.
