Features
- A monitor daemon is fetching OWN messages from your Bticino gateway and stores the state of each device (light, shutter, heating etc.) in a Redis value cache.
- An event daemon watches what's going on and launches a user-defined action when an event is triggered. The action launched can be anything, not just limited to the bticino system.
- A nice and responsive web multi-language frontend to manage your home automation with any device capable of browsing html pages, such as a smartphone, tablet, desktop PC, or XMBC (TV).
- Access control for users and groups.
- Each user can have his own environment and favorites.
- Completely managed via browser, no programming skills required.
