Open source .Net domotica application

[ERottier]

Looks good allready. And interesting

But why not use MySQL instead of MS SQL? If you want to make it open source, try using a more widely spread database! Much easier to read from websites that MS SQL because most people have knowledge of MySQL and not of MS SQL.

And.. Why asp and not php?

Oh-oh... i foresee that maybe this topic will go slightly Off Topic from now on

[erisan500]

what is wrong with combining MS and Open Source ???

[Noel]

For me the problem is MS as I'm using Linux as server OS making your project unusable for my setup.

The topic states .NET domotica already.
I am not aware that this would run on Linux to start with.

Besides, open-source doesn't mean it can't be build on closed-source. I like this project, especially the 'cost-calculator'. I'm using domotiga and would love to see something like it there, either in the program or even on the web interface.
Keep up the good work

Ok, made a overview of the setup.
I'm moving away from Arduino to a more powerfull board:
FEZ PANDA http://www.tinyclr.com/hardware/16/fez-panda/
and
FEZ COBRA http://www.tinyclr.com/hardware/12/fez-cobra/

PS, forgot to add the heating part in the drawing.

Yes, .NET I got. The database is a different story. If it was MySQL the DB could be anywhere which would be exponentially more widespread usable. For example have a MS webserver, but a linux DB server. Or maybe my DB is (don't know why...) on a webserver at my hosting partner and my .NET runs at home.

What's the status of this project? Can I read more about it anywhere?

[erisan500]

No status as of yet...

Nobody seems interested in collaborating so it's a one-man show. Besides precious family time I also lost a HD with 70% of my work, so I have to re-code allot of stuff.

erisan500,
why not join one of the great projects started recently - OpenRemote, this project and others?

I'm also interested in starting or joining a software project. I really miss a good, powerful, multi-platform, open source HA software with HTML5 web interface. I think HTML5 is the future. All major browsers already support most of the specification and are the perfect "home" for powerful web-apps. The developer's work is minimized too, because it has to be written only one client - the web-based client. You don't have to write a separate client for Android OS, iOS, Windows Phone 7, Symbian OS, Samsung's Bada OS, WebOS, MeeGo, Desktop Windows, Desktop Linux, Apple's OSX... the list is endless.

Also you can login, configure and control from anywhere in the world, from any device with a browser. Think about this

Hi Erisan,

Can you give an update on your current progress?
I've started last week to create a domotics package in .NET. I'm using a windows service as communication deamon that loads driver plugins to relay the messages and store everything in an SQL database. On top of that an MVC website to display.

I've also looked at the FEZ platforms, how is your experience with those? Did you have any problems with the Arduino?

[erisan500]

Wootz, are you interested in joining forces?

hi Erisan,
Have a look at the other topic, in my opinion there should be a generic open platform in .NET what everyone can use.
I'm also looking at the .NET micro framework, but havent seen any real solutions yet that people are using it actively.
