I would like to hear about any experiances you have had with Linux and Home Automation.
If you want to control X-10 modules (I'm using x-10 to reset my cable modem whenever it can't ping my gateway, which has been rare since I upgraded the connection for funktronics.ca to a *much* better one a few months back):
ftp://ftp.funktronics.ca/pub/rpm/SuSE-8.2/i586-f/bottlerocket-0.04c-2.i586.rpm
If you want to use an X-10 Mouse Remote (I don't use this anymore due to stability problems):
ftp://ftp.funktronics.ca/pub/rpm/SuSE-8.2/i586-f/MouseRemote-0.90-5.i586.rpm
Both packages are available via apt if you have funktronics in your sources.list.
I don't know anything about the cameras, sorry.
Thanks James, Moving down to Southern CA (Anza), cheaper housing (ok wife came into some property, 5 acre Ranch. I can't argue with that :)). So I have been looking at X10 also, specifically for water sprinkler control. Check here, uses perl scripts and is very Linux friendly http://www.misterhouse.net Think I saw an example of a camera being used. Thanks, Matt
