Very Cool!

 

I am in the process of automating my home starting with a full rewire and replumb, do you do any other home automation and can you recommend any products for lighting control?

 

Have you done any zoning of your heating system? I'm planing on putting solenoid valves on each radiator then having temp probes in each room to allow me to control the temperature in each room.

That's a cool thing to do with a Netduino!

 

I've also wanted to do something with telephony. I got a GSM board but haven't found any target yet :-)

 

Have you taken any particular measures for reliabilty and/or security? I mean like having a watchdog reset the board once every hour or something to prevent it from going OFF unintentionally.

I'm sorry but this is my first experiment. I did it to start heating the house in the mountains, a day before staying there.

i haven't taken any measure for reliability, i tested  all week and it seem stable enough. for reset the board at last i can use a SOCKET TIMER. it would be nice if the reset software were implemented on the board.

You're right, I guess the worst that could happen is you could get a larger heating (electrical) bill than usual in the unlikely event that it goes on by itself which wouldn't be the end of the world. Watchdogs are h/w per definition, one can't rely on one piece of software watching over another. It would be like having one monkey teaching others in doing math :-)

There are these radio controlled thermostats (bidirectional) that you could try hacking the protocol for:

Actually, there's also a LAN gateway to control these thermostats and that would be the one to mimic.

I was planing on using an IR led to control my heat pump (kind of a reverse airco) and than use a drop down menu on a netduino webserver. It would probably be possible to use 2 netduino's. 1 at home with a IR receiver connected to it sending the pulse signal to netduino 2 at a remote location with an IR LED connected to it so you can use your remote control at home.

Biggest fault of Netduino? It runs by electricity.
