eHome Digial Tools

Pretty limited, as far as PC's go!

I have a 2.2GHz Athlon in my basement running PH, eH server, web server, A/V file server, and Winamp (for now). This machine's video is piped to my living room TV.

The audio goes to a receiver that drives speakers in the basement and kitchen, and also goes to a modulator that puts audio onto my phone lines. I have demodulators on the second floor for the master bedroom and master bath. In the bedroom, I just have PC-type amplified speakers. For the bath, there is another receiver in the linen closet that connects to a single, dual-coil speaker in the bath ceiling. This receiver gets controlled via a USB-UIRT and a Powermid in the closet.

My entryway is home to a 15" Dell touch screen driven by an HP EPC tucked under a bench.

I used to plan on using an iPaq PPC for additional control, but have since acquired a Windows Mobile phone that is waiting for the PPC portion of eHome. I have PH web pages formatted for the PPC that will hold me over.

I find that most control is actually done with X10 PalmPads and Stick-a-Switches in each room.

My main PC is a 1GHz Athlon. From here, I can control things via browser or the eHome client.

Here is an (overdue) update to my audio screen...

The change is going from an embedded web page for the playlist window to using eHome labels and scripting.

You know... I wrote the screen designer... I am asking my self.. 'How did you do that?'

I guess that's saying something!

Maybe I should write that up once it's done?

Would love to see a write up. I would post it.

Ran across this tonight.
