NetHome Server has been a background hobby project of mine for a couple of years. I have probably put down in the vicinity of 1000 hours into it, including the hardware hacks.

I am running the server at home, controlling lamps, Stereo/TV-devices and measuring temperatures.

Some of the modules are quite specific to hardware I have built (the IR-control devices) but most of the things are general and should work everywhere. I am constantly updating the documentation of the modules on this site.

Things that should be added to the project are:

• LIRC/WinLIRC-Connection for generic IR control
• Nicer end user WEB-GUI
• Auto Discovery-feature for FS20-units, so you don't have to tap in the addresses manually
• Plugin interface to add new components without having to rebuild the server
• More complete automated unit tests

Currently I am working with this myself, but if I find others interested in this I might consider turning this into an open source project.

If you like, you can download the server in its current state from the download page
