[asterisk-users] phone as control interface (was 99 bottles of beer)

[Jon Pounder]

Quoting Steve Edwards <asterisk.org at sedwards.com>:

I'm using phidgets (www.phidgets.com)

There are various sorts of them out there.

I prewired the house with relays controlling every light, outlet,  
etc., and just hard wired them to low voltage switches initially, but  
all the control loops come back to the "control room". now I am in the  
process of making every switch an input and every relay an output and  
breaking the actual hard wired loops.

Right now the plan is a distributed system using nslu2's and several  
usb modules as controllers spread around. Normally they would take  
direction from a central box with a database for logging, playback  
etc, and a web interface. I am trying to figure out a good way though  
for them to fall back into dumb mode and be able to operate  
autonomously if the master controller is unavailable.

I am also using 1wire sensors from dallas semiconductor for  
temperature sensing, and they adapt onto the usb bus - see owfs and  
other open source software to use them.
