  • You can read measurements without going to the device itself, instead, you use a phone or similar. This also means that a device doesn’t require a display. Consider an outside thermometer as example. Home automation allows you to draw a little graph giving you a good idea how cold it got. Let’s add another measurement device, say a radon meter. Again, no display needed and you could stick it somewhere less accessible.

    You can make home automation as silly or useful as you want it to be.

I dont expect a program that’s not written or designed for my particular distribution or operating system to work. Now, in some cases it turns out that it does and sometimes it works better then under Microsoft, but that shouldn’t be your expectation. The software that is made for it runs as expected.

    Working hardware is usually step one. If your hardware isn’t supported then of course you’re in for a rough ride.
