New home automation project

  My home automation project was stalled for a while. I have tested HomeSeer in the past on Windows, but the OS was not stable for me, some blue screens and Windows was out. The I moved to linux based appliances and installed domus.link on my Western Digital NAS, My Book World. It was slow and the board died after 2 years. Now I have setup a new Ubunto server with Domogik a free open source system, with a modern interface. It acessible via android clients or a web browser. The instalation is very well documented and I set it up in about 6 hours including Ubunto instalation. Nice development, congrats for the dev team. Best things in life are free. Here are some photos of the working system.

Project Move from Palm OS: Finished

My data managment is Andoidified:

Use Pimlical as Desktop/ Android calendar (palm data compatible)
For Notes use Note Everything  Pro for Android (palm notes import)
For passwords management use SpalshID both for desktop and Android (data form palm imported)
As a personal database use HandDB (ChecksDB, CarLog, TimeSheets)
For shopping lists use Android app ToMarket (import from palm HandyShopper)
For an outliner still use Natara Bonsai on desktop sync with dropbox and Android Outliner on mobile.
