What are you using for automation? At my old company, we were using Zigbee thermostats after giving up on BACnet/Modbus (just didn't have that time/ability)

Like windexh8r, I'm starting to see the rise of home automation systems as well. This is actually an area I'm currently looking into working on some projects in. With that, what are some some features users would like to see?

After some digging, I can confirm that they appear to use the Emotiv headset like munin hints on. While I never got around to diving too deep into my Emotiv headset, the one thing I did notice is during my profile training, I wouldn't get p

Like many others here, "Let's Play" videos can, and personally should, discourage the sell of bad games. They also can encourage more unknown games to be brought to light. I frequent Twitch.tv a few times a week and never click the top game

This looks awesome! Are there any plans to expand to other mockups? I currently use Gliffy for my ER diagrams and Process Flows. This just seems much cleaner and would love a connector-type feature. I'm gonna use this for my next mock-up mo

How does this compare to Microsoft's Old HTK (HMM Toolkit)? The language used on the website seems to point to a lot of the same things. Is this breaking it down to actual IPA phonemes? I'm mostly curious because I used the HTK for my thesi

Some amplification is still needed in my opinion, but you are correct. Amplifying the video of a high speed camera should aid in the some of the expression detection. Instead of something like eye movement, think something more subtle, like

Coincidentally so was I! With a person's microgestures amplified, you'd at least notice inherent changes in a person's physical behavior. Now, we need to remember that lying isn't as simple as "he's looking down and to the right" because th

The developer submitted a copy to Reddit's /r/gaming where he did some follow-up Q/A. When one of the redditors asked him about truck or truck action, he said the current state of development couldn't do it, but it was in the works.

I work in commercial HVAC remote control, so that's where most of my knowledge comes from. When the Nest came out, we had a sour look on our face and when SparkFun disassembled it we saw where we matched. Honestly, I saw the idea as maintai

Best I can tell, your best bets are something like Ecobee or Nest for automated your HVAC. I'd keep an eye on the Nest however, their earlier models are built with Zigbee support, though they don't use it. My guess is they'll be using the i

I'd recommend looking into Digi's (digi.com) kits. ~$500 (I think) for their ConnectPort X4, a temp/humid/light sensor and SmartPlug. The X4 might be overkill, and you could get by with an X2 for cheaper. If you know any Python, or willing

You'd be surprised, constantly manually changing the thermostat can have adverse effects, but with PID-based management system, you attempt to heat/cool a little past the target temperature before occupancy. From there you occasionally cool

I mentioned in a little more detail in my other comment, but by learning/detecting your occupancy schedule, it can know when to turn the system on/off itself. Its as if someone was standing at your thermostat 24/7 micromanaging your tempera
