Well, so far found the Open Home Automation Project, but doesn't seem to have been updated since July last year.
Plenty of "freeware" too, but not on sites that I recognise. And of course the proprietory stuff too. There's an outfit that have done some work in the Apple arena and ported to windows, but only have a partial port to Linux. And lastly, Phil, found some nice libraries for USB etc but nothing that indicates RS-485 protocols, but going cross-eyed now, so will have to hit the coffee instead.

I once herd someone claim that whatever you want to do, there is probably going to be a Perl library already to do it. Therefore have a look on CPAN. -- Philip Stubbs -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/ -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
