Minerva Publisher's description:

Minerva is an easy to use and complete home automation suite.

Minerva is an easy to use and complete home automation suite. Using Minerva you can make your home easier and cheaper to run and more secure. With Minerva you can: switch on your lights from anywhere, using a mobile phone or PC; email your video; check your security CCTV footage; control your central heating and much more.

Minerva runs on GNU/Linux, but exists in its own mini eco-system, with its own list of users, set of scripts, and functionality. It relies on command line tools to perform all of its many tasks, and can therefore be run from virtually any platform (smartphone, PDA, laptop or remote PC) with identical functionality.

Minerva's visionary grand design is to provide a means whereby every piece of home technology can be interfaced together through a common technology - and that technology is Minerva!

The architecture consists of three parts, input, output, and process. Each is completely distinct, meaning you can control any of the house processes from any supported input conduit such as the web browser, remote control, or SMS text message.

Similarly, any reports or notifications can be sent to any of the available output conduits, which may (or may not) be the same as the input. One common example is to trigger a process (such as switching the kettle on) using the remote control input conduit, but receive confirmation through the voice output conduit (where the computer speaks to you).

Here are some key features of "Minerva":

· Control your whole house from one place
· Three-phase system separates input, process, and output
· Multiple controls on one web page
