A while ago I started the home automation over ethernet project. Based on microcontrollers I was able to switch lights remotely, set dimmers to a certain value and measure temperatures.
The disadvantage of home automation with a homemade system based on a microcontroller is reliability and lack of spare parts. In addition, the value of the [...]
