End of last week I finally ordered the first few components to start my Smart-Home project. I am basing my setup on Z-Wave because I like the fact that it is an open standard plus there is a USB-controller I can plug into my RaspberryPI.
I’ve now ordered the following components to get started. The goal is to automate illumination of our driveway plus yard:
- Z-Wave.me ZStick
- 2x DuWi Switch
- Vision Security ZP3102 PIR Sensor
- Z-Wave.me KFOB
The ZStick goes straight into my Raspberry and that then runs openHAB. I am already positvely impressed by what openHAB can do. Configuring the binding is also straight forward so far - I have only attached the PIR sensor to trigger virtual light. I do hope to find the time to wire my two switch actors to the outdoor lighting this weekend. I’ll post some pictures as work progresses.
