greg: Add this one Roomba, great for the WAF factor "But what will it do?" papa: Thanks, greg, for adding those. To quote you, "This is my Roomba code which sends sonar data to openhab and sends IR to Roomba to start a clean run. " Also I believe in the second sketch below, the ATC stands for Automatic Transmission Control. It's a lowpower.com approach to lower the RFM69 radio to no more power than is necessary to maintain a connection. |

Greginkansas...
Long time no see on here. Hope you are still around!
I like your Roomba idea. I had it too, but in a different way. I wanted to control it with openHAB like you did, but I also wanted to send it's telemetry data to the computer to record where it has been and maybe reroute it. I was going to put it into Draftsight through the API, but I think I gave up - the wheel slip thing was a bit much to overcome, and I wasn't going to try to do triangulation as it required putting too many other "clutter" around in too many places.
As far as other ideas, anyone do anything with
-Home power monitoring?
-Outside weatherstation?
I may go commercial on both or at least the Power, but I was hoping someone made a node to give me some ideas. And by Home power monitoring, I mean whole home, and maybe by appliance. Some commercial products do fingerprinting, if anyone has any experience...

Thanks for the weewx idea, it's exactly what I'm thinking of doing. What sensor did you use, I assume that's commercial. I thought of openenergymonitor too, but I didnt get the feeling it could handle the way my electric is split up. (meter-HVAC In/HVAC Out/Inside Mains Box) I'm at 6 sensors there,and it didnt look easy to handle that. Yes, the 3D printing is addicting! I want to start on Firefly Drone: www.thingiverse.com/thing:958541 |

Touch Lamp controller, triple state. I use it to control my GE Wink bulbs through Wink hub via OpenHAB. Inside:  Outside:  Code Attached. Its actually a 5v promini 16mhz, but I ran the whole thing on 3.3 with a regulator. Same concept as miniwireless. |

I also have a gateway possibility. I want to move it to an ESP8266 and an RFM95. ESP is perfect, 3.3v I/O and no ethernet shield needed. So compact, it'd fit in another little Altoids case like above. ESP Has SPI and interrupt. ESP-07 has external antenna hookup. Should work, Ive seen other people use the radio with the ESP. This is a good job: oshpark.com/shared_projects/8UxTUEE2 |

I think openenergymonitor will do it but you need the room. I am still printing on this, here is a video of where I am at now Its talking to openhab now so its a node  www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObOEqBUFkkY |

The weather station seems neat. So with this kit, the weerx reads the data, and posts it to OpenHAB and wunderground, correct? Looks like what I want, and looks better than something I built myself. On the power monitoring, not true about putting a sensor on each. There is one that does "fingerprinting": www.sense.comand they are supposed to do an API soon too, so integration into OpenHAB would be possible. Didn't know if anyone had any experience with. GREAT JOB ON THE ROBOT!!!! Man, you must have some time in that! I'd love to do it, but I dont have the time in my life right now to get sucked into a project that intense. I'm very jealous! I'll have to settle with making the drone. Again, great job on all your stuff! Gives us all ideas to move on. |

I'll have to settle with making the drone. Yes Weewx does both and never crashes runs on a Pi2 with a SSD This is the case for Openhab and the Weewx PIs The rack is parts from these www.thingiverse.com/thing:20847366www.thingiverse.com/thing:19059986www.thingiverse.com/thing:19361966Yea, the Inmoov is 200+ hours of print time so far. But will be very cool!! 30 + servos, lots of wire and programining Attachments:

That is sexy! I like the "mini server rack" look. Unfortunately, all my stuff is virtualized on one huge Dell Poweredge, so I don't have opportunity to make something like that. But if I did, I would most surely copy you! You are showing off now with that 3D printer! Is that on thingiverse, or your creation? Let us know in case we want to copy, that could make a great gateway housing too for the Arduino. I don't want to hear about Inmoov-that makes me jealous and want to do it, and I cant afford to get sucked into that right now. But thanks for your tips on the Weewx. I think I'll go that direction. Best regards, Jim |
