| | For the past six weeks or so I've been playing around with home automation. It's a rather large and complex subject and I've only just started, but thought it might be worth writing up what I've found so far.The adventure started when the kids gave me a new Raspberry Pi for my birthday near the beginning of May.

Each time she would come home from work, some wall switch or another would stop working as it did... She's been very patient!
