2. Goals
Building a Homeautomation Framework
flexible (runs on)
embedded Linux Devices like wifi routers
PC/Laptop/Server
extendible
Hardware -> amiBridge
Software -> amiServer-Plugins
remote controllable
web-based
optimized for mobile devices
affordable
low power consumption
based entirely on open source components
simple and cheap DIY electronics

3. Scenario

4. Why using a Linux Router?
OpenWRT (OpenSource embedded Linux)
Good Hardware Base
Wifi
Lan
USB-Host
OpenWRT
real Linux! mainline Kernel
full root access
package manager
Low Power Consumption
0.009 kWh -> ca. 1€/year
