===== Pasky's Home Automation =====

Incoherent notes.

Goals:
  * Main: Alarm clock using bright white LED slowly litting up
  * Intelligent sleep maintenance (smart wakeup, keep room dim until wakeup)
  * Simple home "entertainment" (A/V, room light)

Control:
  * RPi controlled over wifi

Accessories:
  * Arduino (only temporary before the dust settles)

==== Roadmap ====

=== High priority ===
  * [DONE] ClubMat-case
  * [DONE] LED control circuit
  * [DONE] PWM control by Arduino
  * LED mounting in ClubMat-case
  * Confirm Arduino-RPi communication
  * Setup RPi wifi
  * Simple alarm clock software
  * External "ack" button

=== Later ===
  * RPi web interface for alarm clock
  * Connect A/V to TV, mainly for music; web interface for music player
  * Connect RGB LED string
  * Connect blank tilting servos
  * Connect window open/close servos
  * Convert from Arduino to I2C peripherals (PWM: sargon's TLC59116 breakout?)
  * Convert from ATX to dedicated 5V supply

==== Ideas ====
  * TV relay control
  * Accelerometer-based sleep tracking (tap into Android as first phase)
  * Voice control
  * Kinect control (stretching when waking up)
  * Portal turret casing, voice samples :-)

==== Missing pieces ====
  * Power socket controlled by TTL signal (plug'n'play boxed solution) (for TV relay control)
