  • 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.

  • WallPanel - an Android application for Web Based Dashboards and Home Automation Platforms.

Control

Node-RED

  • Node-RED - a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be deployed to its runtime in a single-click.

n8n

  • n8n.io - a free node based "Open Source" (Apache 2.0 with Commons Clause) Workflow Automation Tool. It can be self-hosted, easily extended, and so also used with internal tools., an alternative to Zapier/tray.io

openHAB

Homebridge

  • https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge - a lightweight NodeJS server you can run on your home network that emulates the iOS HomeKit API. It supports Plugins, which are community-contributed modules that provide a basic bridge from HomeKit to various 3rd-party APIs provided by manufacturers of "smart home" devices.



Home Assistant

  • Home Assistant - Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server.





Hass.io

  • Hass.io - turns your Raspberry Pi (or another device) into the ultimate home automation hub powered by Home Assistant. With Hass.io you can focus on integrating your devices and writing automations.

Leon

  • Leon - an open-source personal assistant who can live on your server. He does stuff when you ask for it. You can talk to him and he can talk to you. You can also text him and he can also text you. If you want to, Leon can communicate with you by being offline to protect your privacy.

BotLibre.org

  • BotLibre.org - an open source platform based on an advanced artificial intelligence engine developed in Java. The Bot Libre AI engine can be used in any Java platform, such as a Java webserver, Java client, or on Android. The Bot Libre SDK supports access to Bot Libre's web API from JavaScript, Android, Java, iOS, and objective C. [5]

Wit.ai

  • Wit.ai - makes it easy for developers to build applications and devices that you can talk or text to. Our vision is to empower developers with an open and extensible natural language platform. Wit.ai learns human language from every interaction, and leverages the community: what's learned is shared across developers.

SUSI.AI


Alexa

  • https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi - a client for Amazon's Alexa service. It is intended and tested to run on a wide range of platforms, such as Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, CHIP and ordinary Linux or Windows desktops. Undeveloped.

Hardware

  • 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

Firmware

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.

Web

Piping



  • Huginn is a system for building agents that perform automated tasks for you online. They can read the web, watch for events, and take actions on your behalf. Huginn's Agents create and consume events, propagating them along a directed event flow graph. Think of it as Yahoo! Pipes plus IFTTT on your own server. [7]
