[android-beginners] Re: Android as a Universal Remote for CE/HA?
Thanks to everyone who's offered any useful insights/thoughts thus far.
If you look at the attached diagram I'm hoping to build a device that
acts a central controller for consumer electronics home automation.
I want a hand-held to interface with it, this hand-held would ideally
have IR integrated, but it's not imperative as Wifi would be used
mostly.
So far the best solution I've found is this:
http://openremote.org/display/HOME/OpenRemote
You don't have to use their reference hardware but something low
power/profile like it would be ideal.
It's critical one has JRE + Apache Tomcat installed/configured
properly, I'd run this software on top of Ubuntu or maybe LinuxMCE.
I was thinking of integrating the entire thing into my HTPC (at least the IR
part).
However I'm not sure yet, it might be better to have a dedicated machine.
This controller would be able to send/receive via; Internet, Wifi, Ethernet,
IR, X10, proprietary RF, numerous other CE/HA related protocols.
I'm hoping to make do with my axim x50v as the hand-held but porting to
android is slow moving so i may eventually have to move to a better
supported device (preferably with IR but not essential).
I'm interested in other peoples ideas, have you tried something similar?
Have you played with a platform that's better (in your opinion) than
openremote?
Or perhaps you know of a better hware/sware/topology combo for the
hand-held or controller/s?
Cheers,
Jed

[android-beginners] Re: Android as a Universal Remote for CE/HA?
Okay, now getting a steady stream of good ideas, thanks to everyone
who's offered their thoughts (none from android sources alas). Hopefully
I'll get a few more but if not, tis all good!
If you look at the attached diagram I'm hoping to devise a device that
acts a central controller for consumer electronics home automation.
I want a hand-held to interface with it, this hand-held would ideally
also have IR integrated, but it's not imperative as Wifi would be used
mostly.
So far the best solution I've found is this
http://openremote.org/display/HOME/OpenRemote
You don't have to use their reference hardware but something low
power/profile like it I think would be ideal.
It's critical you have JRE + Apache Tomcat installed/configured
properly, I'd run this software on top of Ubuntu or maybe LinuxMCE.
I was also thinking of integrating the entire thing into my existing
HTPC/PVR but I'm not sure yet, it might be better to have a
dedicated/separate machine. This controller would be able to
send/receive via; Internet, wifi, Ethernet, IR, X10, proprietary RF,
numerous other CE/HA related protocols.
I'm hoping to make do with my axim x50v as the hand-held but porting to
android is slow moving so i may eventually have to move to a better
supported device (preferably with IR but not essential).

I think I've found the ideal software to run on a HA/CE controller.

The base OS would probably be Ubuntu but I may also try LinuxMCE.
They have a hardware platform that they're building the software on.
But they've confirmed it's not imperative to use their reference hardware.
Haven't yet decided if the controller would integrated into my existing
HTPC/PVR or on a dedicated machine...
The main requirements; are correct version/configured Apace Tomcat JRE.
