There are many home automation (HA) platforms on Pi. Lots of ground work already done. Each platform has a different emphasis. Buy a few smart devices you need and then spend time getting them to work with the platforms to see the advantages. Python is quite popular with these platforms but so is Javascript.
For some HA platforms, they are installed on top of Raspbian as a package/docker, this make squeezelite easy to run as Raspbian is still obvious. If platforms comes with OS included (i.e. burn an SDCARD) - it can harder to see how to run squeezelite. Squeezelite is written in C but it has lots of command line & build options so you may be able do a project without any or much additional C code. LMS plugins are written in Perl - can be a bit of a culture shock but it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113437 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
