I made a suitcase from mine, can get a months worth of clothes in it.

(and if I rub it hard, it swells up and becomes a policeman)

Yeah I think I saw it on antiques road show .

Been fiddling with my NUC 

It’s very small and boots very fast !

Trial version of HA on it . Testing it at home not on site so need to grab some z wave stuff .

Certainly seems neat . Had trouble trying to Remote Desktop to it with official Microsoft crap . Swapped to team viewer . Fiddled a bit seems reliable .

It would seem though in Win10 you can’t turn off updates without playing with the registry which sounds ropey to me .

Now that I’m finally clean from painting back to the bridge !

Dropped the Mac ha and gone with homeseer on a NUC .

Homeseer is somewhat buggy : but - thanks to the scripting anything can be achieved somehow !!

 

Currently semi functional we have audio streamed from nas to bathroom .

If music is playing and doorbell pushed then ...

 

New screen is pushed to iPad showing camera view ( this is trickier than you think as a streaming camera at even 2fps cripples HomeSeer - so we constantly grab the stream via a .bat file and resize the image to something more manageable ) 

On pop up screen you can currently unlock the door or turn the door leds on /off.

Music is then paused 

mp3 for ‘doorbell’ is played ( struggling to get speech working yet )

At this point music is meant to unpause - but issues there .

Have a crude slider for bathroom lights which seems to work .

So fundamental basics ( music , light control , complex doorbell ) working but not 100% 


You can tell I was a programmer and not an artist !
