Weather Station at new location. Re-installed some cameras - rest to follow.


I started a Home Automation type system way back in 2001, when nobody used IoT (Internet of Things)!

It was a GSM SMS system only. So I JOINED THE IOT BUS! (along time ago...)

Then again, even a pure SMS system is nowadays called IOT! Here my Project, revived and evolved over the years...

I also incorporate PHP to get data from all devices in XML (JSON) using MariaDB, where previously a flat file system was used.

Making use of my own cloud space to store data via Python 3 and some other C++ programs. With some MQTT in between the mix as well.

The aim of this project is complete home automation.
You need to login as it include: (Demo's available above under HALP!)
Lighting control
Alarm system
Gate/Garage door control
Electric fence monitoring
IP cameras inside house (PTZ)
IP cameras outside house (Fixed)
Control of DVR security camera system
SMS system with full control of everything above (in case Internet is not available)

This webserver is connected to PIC boards with wireless IO.
I've used serial BlueTooth HC-05, nRF905 radios and ESP 12F's to realize!
