I hope to use a pi 2 for xbian and home automation/home security project.

I already have managed to program arduinos to send data from sensors to the pi using a 'domotica' system as well as one I have managed to do myself using NRF24L01+ radio modules and only arduinos.

Currently I get data from the greenhouse (greenhouse temp and humidity as well as outdoor temp and humidity, air pressure and light level (1 lux increments). I also have the fridge and freezer monitored (again with NRF modules) sending temp and humidity of each. All results currently displayed on a 20x4 and a 16x2 LCD display. Highest and lowest values are available and software filters for spurious readings.

Soon I will add highcharts and maybe some more to graph the data.

I have auto kitchen lighting as well with arduio that can be easily incorporated and am working on adding a function to turn on the amplifier when I enter the house to have music (and lights) come on when the front door is opened.

Adding more sensors inside (doors, windows, pir etc) and out (pir, bean break, uv levels etc) will follow to create a combined home security/ home automation/ media centre system.

It's taken a while to get this far, but I continue to search, read, learn and it's coming together nicely at the moment. I just need some more time and to look into adding a 'mono' based system alongside kodi in xbian and it could be finished in a matter of months.

Maybe it would be possible to have this all displayed within kodi similar to the weather plugins, but currently that's waaaay beyond my capabilities!
