Request for Session Topics

Please suggest a topic for a session at Home Camp.  Get involved.  We are not asking everyone to present a topic, but we welcome everyone to present a topic at Home Camp.

 

1.  Current Cost basics - xml, databasing, graphing. posting to pachube and external services (Chris Dalby)

2. Low power servers/computing devices - Talk about the work 3fficient is doing to reduce server and compute power consumption (@folknology)

3. Using AMEE for neutral energy data aggregation (James Smith & Jamie Andrews).

 

4. Quick reports on projects that are up and running since last time

 

5. What do we know about meters being installed (based on submissions)

 

6. Google's PowerMeter project

 

7.  Can this group help to develop 'lego' bricks to allow a wider net of non-techies to start innovating?  Eg. a brick that turns things on and off depending on temperature range/temperature difference or a brick that measure sunlight and sends output as a message...  Like code snippets that work within a framework, but actual devices that someone without soldering skills can use.

 

8. Onzo - where we are at - and hackability of our Smart Energy Kit

 

9. The Web of Things: Home Automation on the Web. Plug and play devices and built your own mashups on top of an ecosystem of Web-enabled objects. We will show some prototypes of our current work, and illustrate fast prototyping of applications using our soon-to-be-released-in-open-source software.

 

10. Spreading the word, how to get schools and community involved in 'maker' projects to raise awareness of smart homes in practice. (requested by MikeTheBee)

 

11. Happy to present on EnOcean self-powered  wireless sensors & systems which are widely used in building automation. [I have declare a conflict I distribute this stuff for a living but it means have lots toys  to show] (Lawrence Griffiths). 

 

12. Flukso is a community metering application developed by the Jokamajo Institute. We'd be happy to present the application and share its implementation details.

 

13. John Price is happy to present on using Windows Media Center as the hub to control devices around the home - if you would like.

 

14. A Nudge and a Wink - Changing behaviours - A short session on what behavioural economics and psychology teach us about system design that creates change. (Benjamin Ellis).

 

15. Pachube.com roundup: lots of things have progressed since the last homecamp, including expansion of the API, the launch of the Pachube.apps repository and a number of community-contributed tools, libraries and apps, so we can talk about these and answer any questions in person.

 

16. If I'd attended I was going to talk about my Twittering weather station. (andypiper)

 

17. Would be interesting to have a round-up / comparison of the different home energy monitoring solutions / devices.

 

 

 

Useful CodeSave

CurrentCost data parsing:

 

 

Additional resources for Current Cost hacking :-)

 

MQTT:

Kinda like RSS for small devices, but without the polling bottleneck issues:

 

Open source client, written in Ruby - http://mqtt.rubyforge.org/

 

Not sure where to put other links about energy monitoring (not current cost). Pls advise.

Here's one on @paul_tanner's blog.
