Open Source Android Home Automation Apps

Home Assistant is a powerful open source home automation app that prioritizes local control and privacy. It offers great security and features while keeping your data securely out of the cloud. It can give you control of all your devices from a single, mobile-friendly interface and will track the state of all these devices so you don’t have to. Home Assistant is powered by a worldwide community and runs ideally on a Raspberry Pi or a local server. It can be set up to automatically control devices, so whether you want to be alerted when the lights turn on when you’re not at home, or want the lights to automatically dim when you start to watch a movie on Chromecast, Home Assistant can do it for you.

OpenBot leverages smartphones as brains for low-cost robots. We have designed a small electric vehicle that costs about $50 and serves as a robot body. Our software stack for Android smartphones supports advanced robotics workloads such as person following and real-time autonomous navigation. Current robots are either expensive or make significant compromises on sensory richness, computational power, and communication capabilities. We propose to leverage smartphones to equip robots with extensive sensor suites, powerful computational abilities, state-of-the-art communication channels, and access to a thriving software ecosystem. We design a small electric vehicle that costs $50 and serves as a robot body for standard Android smartphones. We develop a software stack that allows smartphones to use this body for mobile operation and demonstrate that the system is sufficiently powerful to support advanced robotics workloads such as person following and real-time autonomous navigation.

An Open Community in the Home Automation and Domotics space. We believe an Open Source approach can revolutionize the way people create, install, and maintain software in the industry. Our panel technology integrates with your favorite protocol and runtime hardware through Open Source software. We open up the front-end and support a unified panel and visual programming model. An installer can pick and choose hardware products from different vendors and still present one panel UI to the user. A proprietary hardware vendor can build modern panel support and integrate with existing vendors. Whether you are a DIY aficionado, a high-end installer, a hardware vendor or integrator, OpenRemote has something for you. We want to make OpenRemote the standard for commercial and hobbyist integration alike. We allow any integrator or vendor to write plug-ins and bring innovative tools that simplify the work of an installer and the relationship with the client.

The WiRe project seeks to provide android smartphones with universal Infrared (IR) television remote control functionality. The limitations/scope of this project include: 1. Android application will be restricted to a minimum Android Operating Sytem of Android 4.2.2 2. Data communications will be conducted over a Wi-Fi network 3. The embedded device will be built utilizing the Beaglebone Black as its core 4. The Final product will be capable of conducting common television controls

iHome is a fully tested Smart Home Automation system using the Raspberry Pi Zero WiFi SBC and Linux OS and has all the functional features of NEST or ECOBEE smart thermostats with the added benefit of full privacy and security at less than half the price! It incorporates MBLogic with algorithms and Modbus coms for HVAC home control via the ionware modbus compatible ionC1 input/output controller board. The iHome software system comes fully configured as a SD Card image file for Raspberry Pi Zero wifi Plug and Play capability complete with MBLogic, Node-RED and MQTT already fully installed and ready to go. See wiki instructions to burn the SD Card image file, insert into your RPi Zero and Plug and Play. The iHome is an Internet of Things (IOT) demo project for the ionware ionC1 hardware and the software system and is a complete SCADA platform c/w Modbus TCP Servers and Modbus RS485 serial clients for scalable building automation projects.
