This year I wanted to discover homeseer, but I learn also a lot from pluswise, IRtrans, Merten and zwave devices.
I learned a lot of nice domotica people. So I can conclude it was also a good year 2009.

My plans for next year:
- Learning more and increasing my domotica devices
- Working and making my home domotica system more 'water'proof
- whatever i like to do

Best wishes to you all for 2010.

B.R. Wim :) :wink:

Idea is to use ultrasonic sensor same ones used in the cars for distance monitoring or any other similar system.

- Touch Monitor (wake up)
- Desk lights

There are ultrasonic sensors that can be attached to an Arduino. This is on my todo list as well.
