Hi!

I like your project! Currently I am evaluating the right platform for my little Home Automation Project. I am considering Enocean as Hardware Platform (not sure yet, do you have experience in Z-Wave vs. Enocean?)
As a professional .NET/C# Developer, I would be interested to contribute some parts (Enocean Driver).
Is the Windows Phone Client also Open Source? Is the connection made using HTTPS? I wouldn't like to send all my data unencrypted around the world! :-)

Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,

I have no knowledge about Enocean, so can't tell. What I can tell is that Z-Wave is a good possible option.

I just saw that they also sell an Enocean daughter board for Pi for just $25. That's very cool =)
Since this is a serial device it could use HG SerialPortLib as it already happen for other serial devices as X10 CM11, W800RF32 and Z-Wave driver too. So a part of the code it's already there, you have to concentrate on the Enocean protocol.

At this time, HG do not support https, though it will soon.
Windows Phone and Android client will be probably released as open source too. I'm just thinking about it.

My gosh connecting thtough HTTPS on Raspberry Pi runs like 20x times slower! =)

Hi Tom,

Do you want to use off the shelf products or completely DIY nodes?
If the later, than I have perfect protocol for you: VSCP with CAN bus. (implementation in progress).

HTTP is ok for LAN, behind router, also wifi is encrypted with WPA2.
A bit more concern on forwarding through Router.

Cheers,
