Overview Wireless Home Automation System Based on x10 protocol Uses x10 hardware: Firecracker (CM17a) Firecracker (CM17a) Should also support CM11 Supports various receivers Supports various receivers Supports various device modules Supports various device modules Developed using QT4.1.1 (OpenSource version & C++ (CodeBlocks)

Background x10 was developed and released in 1978 by Pico Electronics, Ltd. of Scotland Pico actually developed the first single chip calculator in 1970 Idea of remotely controlling lights came about when inventing one of the first T.V. remote controls Pico was later bought by x10 technologies. Radio Shack first buyer of x10 products X10.com is ranked by Media Metrix as one of the top 100 e-commerce Web Sites

Why goSmart? goSmart does not require a specific COM port number. The user can specify the COM port available in their machine. goSmart software is a multi user system. goSmart allows the user to add, delete or schedule devices within different zones in the house. goSmart will send an to the owner upon any security breach detected by the motion sensor. goSmart will (in future versions) allow the use of Macros to control several devices at once.

Problems so far… x10 is broken?!? (ALL_OFF doesn’t work) Various QT/MS issues database access (Singleton Design Pattern) database access (Singleton Design Pattern) Serial port communication Reading through QT Reading through QTNetworking Validating addresses Validating addresses Accessing MS system notifications Polling Function for scheduling engine Change to OBSERVER design pattern Change to OBSERVER design pattern
