Sounds like there's a niche I'd dearly love someone to find and exploit.
X10 still exists, and modules are still sold (for about a tenth of the cost of KNX modules from a quick search), but it's an ancient standard and very limited compared to what we might now expect. On, off and dimming are about the extent of its abilities.
- kazen44 8y agoKNX can do basically anything you want from a building (including HVAC, security systems etc), but is just very, very expensive. Also, most software server front ends for it are horrible. I am actually wondering if building a relatively cheap KNX hardware module for home assistant might just not be the best option in that regard.
- slantyyz 8y agoThere's always Z-wave, which is way more modern than X10. I started with Wemo because I thought I didn't want to deal with a hub, and in retrospect, that was a mistake. Z-wave is faster and easier to set up and maintain than wifi/IP based equipment like Wemo.
