  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X10_(industry_standard) - a protocol for communication among electronic devices used for home automation (domotics). It primarily uses power line wiring for signaling and control, where the signals involve brief radio frequency bursts representing digital information. A wireless radio based protocol transport is also defined. X10 was developed in 1975 by Pico Electronics of Glenrothes, Scotland, in order to allow remote control of home devices and appliances. It was the first general purpose domotic network technology and remains the most widely available. Although a number of higher bandwidth alternatives exist, X10 remains popular in the home environment with millions of units in use worldwide, and inexpensive availability of new components.


  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/xPL_Protocol - an open protocol intended to permit the control and monitoring of home automation devices. The primary design goal of xPL is to provide a rich set of features and functionality, whilst maintaining an elegant, uncomplicated message structure. The protocol includes complete discovery and auto-configuration capabilities which support a fully "plug-n-play" architecture - essential to ensure a good end-user experience. xPL benefits from a strongly specified message structure, required to ensure that xPL-enabled devices from different vendors are able to communicate without the risk of incompatibilities. Communications between xPL applications on a Local Area Network (LAN) use UDP on port 3865. xPL development has primarily occurred in the DIY community, where users have written connecting software to existing protocols and devices. Some examples include bridges to other home automation protocols like Z-Wave and UPB. Commercially, the Logitech SqueezeCenter software for the Squeezebox supports xPL.

  • Metacat - a computer model of analogy-making and perception that builds on the foundations of an earlier model called Copycat. Copycat was originally developed by Douglas Hofstadter and Melanie Mitchell as part of a research program aimed at computationally modeling the fundamental mechanisms underlying human thought processes. Central to the philosophy of this research is the belief that the mind's ability to perceive connections between apparently dissimilar things, and to make analogies based on these connections, lies at the heart of intelligence. According to this view, to understand the analogical mechanisms of thinking and perception is to understand the source of the remarkable fluidity of the human mind, including its hidden wellsprings of creativity.

Like Copycat, Metacat operates in an idealized world of analogy problems involving short strings of letters. Although the program understands only a limited set of concepts about its letter-string world, its emergent processing mechanisms give it considerable flexibility in recognizing and applying these concepts in a wide variety of situations. The program's high-level behavior emerges in a bottom-up manner from the collective actions of many small nondeterministic processing agents (called codelets) working in parallel, in much the same way that an ant colony's high-level behavior emerges from the individual behaviors of the underlying ants, without any central executive directing the course of events.

Metacat focuses on the issue of self-watching: the ability of a system to perceive and respond to patterns that arise not only in its immediate perceptions of the world, but also in its own processing of those perceptions. Copycat lacked such an "introspective" capacity, and consequently lacked insight into how it arrived at its answers. It was unable to notice similarities between analogies, or to explain the differences between them or why one might be considered to be better or worse than another. In contrast, Metacat's self-watching mechanisms enable it to create much richer representations of analogies, allowing it to compare and contrast answers in an insightful way. Furthermore, it is able to recognize, remember, and recall patterns that occur in its own "train of thought" as it makes analogies. For instance, by monitoring its own processing, Metacat can often recognize when it has fallen into a repetitive cycle of behavior, enabling it to break out of its "rut" and try something else. [4]

  • 2018-04-20: Making a Window Manager (part 1) - You know what happens in the office, usually late in the afternoon? That’s right! Exactly when you’re at the peak of productivity, Mr. Sun basically slams into your window and mocks you. In the face. You could raise from the chair and turn the shades, I guess. You could. But I can not. I need an automatic sun-b-gone mechanism! Something smart, IOT and with blockchain technology. A true Window Manager™. Can we make it using only assorted junk found on the desk? Looking through the stuff I think I see a small stepper and some micros… I believe We Can

Espurna

  • https://github.com/xoseperez/espurna - a custom firmware for ESP8285/ESP8266 based smart switches, lights and sensors. It uses the Arduino Core for ESP8266 framework and a number of 3rd party libraries.

ESPEasy

Tasmota

  • https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota - Alternative Firmware for ESP8266 based devices like itead Sonoff, with Web, Timers, OTA, MQTT, KNX and Sensors Support, to be used on Smart Home Systems. Written for Arduino IDE and PlatformIO

espota-server

  • https://gitlab.com/stavros/espota-server - an HTTP server that can hold firmware for flashing with the ESP8266 Arduino firmware. It's useful when you have many ESP8266-based devices in the field and want them to download their own firmware to update themselves, rather than you having to push firmware to each one separately.The main difference between the espota-server and any other HTTP server is that it only serves firmware to the device if there's a newer version of the firmware available. If there's no newer version, it just responds with a "no new version" and the device goes on its merry way.

Sensors


  • https://github.com/gmag11/EnigmaIOT - an open source solution for wireless multi sensor systems. It has two main components, multiple nodes and one gateway.A number of nodes with one or more sensors each one communicate in a secure way to a central gateway in a star network using EnigmaIoT protocol.
