[Occupation:] currently own cosmetics bussiness; 20 years experience with Hi-tech security systems.
[Hobbies:] Work, Scubadiving, programming
[Choise for domoticz:]
The last 10 years almost all security systems are installed with IP connection.
Communication between all the seperate systems are sometimes very difficult (programmers likes closed ciruit system).
I like to open the system and let systems talk with each other.
Domoticz is for now my home automation.
[My role here?] I'm a user but will post my programming.
[Equipment:] Banana pi (because of ext sata), RFXCOM, Toon, Piface, (10+) 433 Mhz devices, GeoFence, music player.....

I like creating something out of nothing

[Name:] Ronald
[Country:] Netherlands
[City:] Deventer
[Occupation:] Security Manager at a large IT company
[Hobbies:] Information Technology, Linux, Domotica, Website development and Photography
[Choise for domoticz:]
I've started with a simple KAKU setup. After a while I wanted to automate those switches and bought a HomeWizard and wrote some scripting to control the HomeWizard API. After a couple of years I was looking for something more advanced and something more responsive. So I bought a Raspberry PI with RFXcom transceiver and installed Domoticz on it. In 2015 i've bought a Z-wave USB stick, connected it to the raspberry and started replacing the KAKU switches for Z-Wave switches.

[My role here?] Seeking advise and helping others if I can.
[Equipment:] Raspberry Pi, RFXcom transceiver, Zwave USB controller, 8 KaKu wallplugs for light control, 6 temp and humidity sensors, 1 motion sensor, 2 dimmers for light control, 3 Fibaro Wallplugs with energy meters to eliminate standby power usage, 1 dusk sensor and a ton of scripting that will determine when to switch which device at which moment. For example iPhone detection scripting, Mechanical Ventilation based on humidity of bath/living-room and energy saving when both iphones left the network or if they are charging in the bedroom. More to come, thats for sure!

I like some of the ideas that can be found in Domoticz. Versatile but still small. It is somewhat rough on the edges, but stands out of the crowd.
