Plans for 2009

[Wim2008]

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.

Chack what is ultrason ?

I already have an ultra son for 8.5 years

[TANE]

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

I like to auto turn one some devices when there is motion in front

- Touch Monitor (wake up)
- Desk lights

...................that's a lot o money i think, or your neighbour destroied yesterda evening his Mercedes and you have some sensors not more used? we could even use CO2 air % to check our body activity to decide if we are sleeping or not

[Alexander]

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

My plan for 2010 is to build my own motion detector based on a - Panasonic AMN11111

It's the world's smallest (based on their investigation).

[Digit]

Funny, i have a couple of AMN31112 somewhere (the white version), for the same purpose
