OpenDomo Security and free domotics

The version 0.8.6 has been published with all the corrections and new features since the previous release. It also provides compatibility for the new models Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega 2560, and for Domino 0.4, available since the beginning of this week, and it will be part of the DevKits very soon.

This version represents a big progress in performance and stability, improving the boot time and execution of the scripts, as it's shown in the chart below.

After a few days of announcing the brand new English Wiki, we can announce another document base for our community, this time in Portuguese! There is still a lot of translation to do, so if you want to contribute with our project, you can get a user account and help us translating the contents!

The Wiki for the English community documentation has just been opened, and ready to start with the translations from the Spanish community. As in the other communities, this Wiki replaces the current content manager for the official manuals, in order to make the navigation easier and faster, and the manteinance tasks much efficient.

If you want to contribute with this project, you can get an account in the Wiki and start translating the manuals from the Spanish community!

The new OpenDomo 0.8.2 has been released, offering a wide range of services and higher stability than before. However, the distributed system is being developed in this moment, and it won't be ready until next version, stabilized on 0.8.5. So far, it's possible to configure and use control devices (Micropik and Arduino controllers are available), video surveillance system, advanced event manager, voice synthetizer, and lots of other functions.

As we said before, OpenDomo's objective is to provide a open source solution for creating intelligent houses using only standard technologies. One of our best shots is the choice of IP as the main communication protocol, which leads us to a huge variety of devices and services available in the market. Of course, our systems are compatible with Internet technologies, and it's no longer required to use any kind of expensive bridging technique (what happens with other systems like KNX or X10) to enable full control of the system anywhere.
