Smart Home Automation with Linux- P2

Smart Home Automation with Linux- P2:For every word I’ve written, five have been discarded. Such is the nature of writing. For every ten programs I’ve downloaded, tried, and tested, nine have been discarded. Such is the nature of software. Finding a perspicuous overlap has been a long and arduous tasks, and one that I’d wish for no one to suffer in solitude. | CHAPTER 1 APPLIANCE CONTROL back-EMF generates a large voltage spike that can blow the fuse in the AM12U if you re lucky or the device if you re unlucky . Figure 1-7. TheAM12U 52 x122 x33mm There is an in-wall version of this called the AW12U with a similar specification. Note You can often use these devices to automatically power-cycle routers and modems when the Internet connection is unavailable often from the router being choked or when it simply crashes. Appliance MicroModule AWM2 This is the same module featured previously and in Figure 1-6 as a suitable candidate for light control because it can also be used to control appliances. Apart from its smaller size 46 x46 x18mm its main benefit over the AM12U is that it has a much higher power rating making it possible to power fan heaters and their ilk. The given power specification on this unit is 2kW for incandescent lamps 3A for inductive appliances and 16A on resistive loads. 13 CHAPTER 1 APPLIANCE CONTROL As mentioned previously this device is mounted in wall outlets making it more difficult to circumvent. Consequently this module allows you to switch off a child s TV or stereo system at night without them simply unplugging it as they might with an AM12U. Table 1-1 gives a breakdown of the previously referenced devices. Table 1-1.

One good case is REX-10 a barking dog alarm system Upon receipt of a suitable X10 message for example from a motion detector this device plays the noise of a dog barking followed a few moments later by the sending of an X10 message to .
