Thanks to the massive legwork from Jstrom we could get rid of the Apache QPID dependency and use MQTT as transport in Version 2. While QPID did provide rock solid messaging, it has no packages in latest Debian versions. Building …
Introduction The ESP8266 is a 32 bit micro controller with an integrated WiFi chipset and TCP/IP stack. The flash is connected via SPI. Firmware upgrades can be done via the serial port after booting with GPIO0 pulled to ground (I’m …
We’ve released a 1.0 candidate on our “testing” repository. Please help with testing. If we don’t find any showstoppers, this will become 1.0 in a few weeks.
We’re in the process of adding support for the ImperiHome Android app. The basic things are working already. A package is available (agocontrol-imperihome). Stay tuned for more news about the progress.
We’ve added MySensors support. Visit http://www.mysensors.org for details on how to build your own sensors with arduino and NRF24 RF modules.
We were searching for Raspberry Pi alternatives. The Cortex A9 seems to be a good choice. Besides more speed it is able to run stock Debian Wheezy. (Raspberry Pi needs ARM6 binaries, so you need to run Raspbian). We did find …
The brand new RaZberry did arrive last week. It works like a charm with ago control. Just make sure to use “/dev/ttyAMA0” as device in the “zwave” config section. Kudos to the folks from Z-Wave.Me for this very nice piece …
Thanks to apagg there is a Raspberry Pi GPIO device interface available: http://www.agocontrol.com/trac/browser/agocontrol/agocontrol/devices/raspiGPIO/raspiGPIO.py That makes it very easy and cheap to start with home automation. Just attach relays and binary sensors to the GPIO ports of the Raspberry Pi and configure …
We’ve added rain8net device support for the commonly used units from WGL Design: http://www.wgldesigns.com/rain8pc.html More information is provided in the forum thread: http://www.agocontrol.com/forum/general-discussion/rain8net-support-added/
We’ll receive samples of the RaZberry Z-Wave add on for the Raspberry Pi soon. So you can expect them to work flawlessly with ago control. You can find more information regarding the module here: http://razberry.zwave.me
