Devoted to building on a specific area of home technology.

I’ve dug into home automation but was never satisfied with the interfaces, usability, or reliability of the systems. One thing I did notice though was the innate desire people had to understand what was already happening in their home / environment…From the mechanical systems, utilities, environmental situations both inside and out.

With an education in Electrical Engineering and a career involving transducers and sensing, micro controllers, databases, data warehousing, high-speed data acquisition, user-interface design, and web application development, I thought I would be in an excellent position to attempt a full-blown home-sensing project (I’ll give it a better name later). Maybe it will span multiple projects; I’m not sure just yet.

We’ll start next time with an initial project definition, technologies involved, and project scope definition.
