What are OpenHousewares?

OpenHouseware Core Components

The complete open source intelligent home automation system is called OpenHouseware (or, OH for short).  An OH system is comprised of several key elements including the OH C3 Server which runs on Linux and manages your entire house and system.  The C3 Server communications with a few other important elements, including the DAVIS IP/RF Router and the SWAGGER wireless aggregator.  These elements connect directly to your remote sensors (called OpenHousewares, or OHw for short) and send signals to the C3 server for processing.  The system uses IPv4 internally and operates over Ethernet, Wireless, RF, and direct wired connections to provide a total home management solution that you can manage over your own PC.  Best of all, it's all Open Source and DIY so you can start building your dream home automation system on your terms, any way you like.

Some Random Sensors

Check out the rain or precipitation sensor.  It can detect rainfall, snowfall, dew, ice, or any other "wet" sort of downfall.  Most precipitation sensors are incredibly small and/or simple in principle!

Here's a sensor for your perusal: a temperature sensor!  Use it to measure the temperature outside or inside your smart home!  The unique thing about this temp sensor is that the temperature is linear with the output voltage at 1C per 10 mV, so reading 250mV = 25C.
