[Choice for domoticz:]
I wanted something that I could contribute to in order to ensure all the stuff I need is available. I first looked at DomotiGa but did not feel like coding in VB again...
Mainly interested in logging things so I can see what happens if I change heating parameters etc. Will also try and automate as much as I can around the house.

Server : RPi with Arch Linux/RFXCOM433/Home built Rego637 interface/i2c 1 wire (soon)
